  • It is easy to assume that everyone has a birth certificate in our modern age of information. It is also easy to apply this assumption to vital records beyond just those of birth, such as marriage or death. While vital records are so ubiquitous to have acquired status as an assumed reality today, they are a relatively modern development. Reviewing their history will highlight the years in which vital records were kept in Kentucky, the extent to which they were recorded, and why, while also illustrating other potential sources for records outside of those legislated by the state. The records are a unique challenge and frustration to many who embark upon the search with the assumption about the ever-present existence of certificates for birth or death. But when approached with the right context and understanding they are a vital source for genealogical researchers.
