Kentucky Vital Records Index

Indexes to selected Kentucky Vital Records are available for searching. This data was acquired from Kentucky's state Office of Vital Statistics for noncommercial use only. It may not be used for any commercial purpose. Any reselling, profit making, or surcharges added by an Internet provider for access to the data will result in loss of access to the data. Accessing the data will be interpreted by the University as agreement to the above terms.

More information is available from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives.

There are two ways to search an index: using the forms below (your Web browser must support forms for this!) or using the CSO phonebook interface (which also requires support from your Web browser!). If you are having trouble searching from your Web browser, contact your network service provider for assistance.

Because of the volume of requests and the resources needed to process them, the number of matches returned for each search is limited, so make your search as specific as possible. We cannot provide access to this data in any way other than this search service - no FTP, nothing. Please don't ask. The original data is from the Kentucky Department of Health Statistics in Frankfort. If you need copies of the files contact them. Please refer to the notes for each index for more information.
