Genealogists: 1957 KY death certificates available

For many people, a death certificate is a necessary evil, a symbol of life’s conclusion. But, did you know that death certificates can actually help you trace your genealogy, in addition to providing information on individuals in your family tree? With information like parents’ and spouses’ names, means of death, dates of death, and names of cemeteries, these records can equip you with the information you need to take your genealogical line back generations.

The state of Kentucky began issuing death certificates in 1911, and, here at the library, we have access to all certificates made available for public view, from their inception all the way up to the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics’ latest release, 1957. As of this year, 1957 death records have been made accessible to those who pursue them. So, come today and inquire in our genealogy department, and see who you might find! Unsure about how to get started on your family’s genealogy? Visit our genealogy page.

These staff picked movies won't leave you burned!

It is so hot outside right now that even kids and dogs think twice before heading outside. On days like these, the best thing in the world to do is to veg out in front of the television with a huge glass of iced tea and every air conditioning vent and fan in the house pointed in your direction. Your librarians invite you to brave the heat and come see us because we have some suggestions for what to watch while you hide away from the heat wave. Until the heat breaks, we're going to be featuring our favorite movies, and here's just a sample of what you will find.

(See if you can guess which movies were recommended by which librarian. You can find out if you were right by checking on the display over by the DVDs here in the library. The choices may surprise you!)
