No births or deaths were recorded by civil authorities before 1852.

Kentucky law required counties to record births, marriages, and deaths as early as 1852. Unfortunately, this law was repealed in 1862. Registration was again attempted from 1874 to 1879 and sporadically from 1892 to 1910. Although compliance with the early registration laws was inconsistent, the existing records are a good resource for genealogists. | Kentucky law required counties to record births, marriages, and deaths as early as 1852.
