<br>This is a collection of Family History Library records which are abstracted, indexed and titled the [[West Virginia Vital Records Index - FamilySearch Historical Records|West Virginia Vital Records Index.]] For over 30 years, volunteer indexers extracted this information from microfilm copies of the original records. In 1998, a few of the entries were published on 7 CDs by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the "North America Vital Records Index." This index is an index of the births, marriages, and deaths throughout Kentucky. The index is not necessarily complete for any particular place or region. | <br>This is a collection of Family History Library records which are abstracted, indexed and titled the [[West Virginia Vital Records Index - FamilySearch Historical Records|West Virginia Vital Records Index.]] For over 30 years, volunteer indexers extracted this information from microfilm copies of the original records.
