This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Birth Records Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/gBB.2ACE/1084.1.1 Message Board Post: Most people in earlier times posted the family birth records in the family bible. Kentucky did not require birth records recorded until about 1911. If you have a particular person in mind post a query on a family message board or county in which the person once resided.
