Kentucky Vital Records information from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives at:
http://www.kdla.state.ky.us/arch/vitastat.htm

"The Government of the Commonwealth of Kentucky kept no birth or death records prior to 1852. The original lists, returns, and certificates of births, marriages, and deaths which survive are in the State Archives. They are arranged by county and are for the years 1852-1859. Between 1862 and 1911, when the present Office of Vital Statistics was established, several attempts were made to again require the recording of births, marriages, and deaths at the state government level. Some records for 1874-1878 survive as a result of a second vital statistics law. A few scattered records exist for the years 1860-1873 and 1879-1911. These records, arranged by county and date, are also in the State Archives." "The Office of Vital Statistics maintains birth and death certificates dating from 1911 and marriage certificates dating from 1958. Vital Statistics will furnish copies of birth certificates for $9.00, and marriage and death certificates for $6.00. Death certificates are also available from the State Archives for the years 1911-1944."

Vital records have been registered in Massachusetts since 1635. Statewide data collection began in 1841. The Registry of Vital Records and Statistics in the Department of Public Health has the records of births, deaths, and marriages for Massachusetts from 1906 to the present. Every five years, the earliest five years of records maintained at the Registry are transferred to the custody of the State Archives. The next transfer will occur in 2001. After the transfer, any restrictions that may be on the transferred records will be removed. Records from 1841-1905 are located at The State Archives, Columbia Point, 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, MA 02125; phone: (617) 727-2816. The city or town clerk in the city or town where the event occurred has all records prior to 1841. Also, copies of records since 1841are available at the city or town where the event occurred.
