Thanks to the efforts of Mary Patton, Suzanne Shephard and Jerry Brock, Webster County researchers have a great new resource - the county's Delayed Birth Records. Never heard of Delayed Birth Records? Join the crowd; lots of folks are in the dark about them. We have just put the ones for Webster County online at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kywebste/delayed-births.htm <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kywebste/delayed-births.htm> I have also quoted an explanation from Roseann Hogan's book "Kentucky Ancestry" to help us understand what Delayed Birth Records are all about. Thousands of Kentuckians have been without power for 3-4 days due to a terrible ice storm that began last Tuesday. Western Kentucky was particularly hard hit. Let's pray that temperatures moderate soon so the power companies can get on with the hard work of restoring power. Keep warm, folks.
