Early Kentucky Settlers, 1700s-1800s

Comprehensive in its coverage of early Kentucky, this database includes a unique collection of court, marriage, military, and probate records. In all, approximately 225,000 individuals are referenced within the indexed images of the pages from twelve books.

Among the valuable resources, you'll find comprehensive accounts of Kentucky's participation in the Revolution and War of 1812. These accounts are especially useful because many of Kentucky's adult male settlers served in the Revolutionary War. Many were Virginians who were granted bounty lands for their service. In addition, you'll gain access to record of all marriages ever listed in The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society as well as an exhaustive index to individuals referenced within Kentucky's early statutes. In combination, the narrative and genealogical resources collected here will help you put the lives of your early Kentucky ancestors in historical context.

California Birth Index, 1905-1995

Search this Database Free

This database is an index to over 24.5 million births occurring in California between 1905 and 1995. Information contained in this index includes:

• Child's name (names may be truncated at 8 letters)
  
• Gender
  
• Birth date
  
• Birth county
  
• Mother's maiden name (names may be truncated at 8 letters)

If possible, it is important that you use the information found in this index to order a copy of the birth certificate, as the certificate may provide additional information about the child or the parents. For information on how to order a copy of a birth certificate, visit the California Department of Health Services, Center for Health Statistics website.

Vital records in California have been kept by the state registrar of vital statistics since 1 July 1905. Earlier vital records are entered in the county where the event took place. Pre-1905 records in the counties may be quite slim. In Sacramento County, for example, only three births were entered for the period 1858 and 1874, and only forty-three deaths between 1858 and 1864. Marriages, on the other hand, seem to have been recorded more regularly. Some court-ordered delayed birth certificates have been registered by the state registrar. For all vital records, contact the California Department of Health Services, Office of Vital Records, 304 "S" St., Sacramento, CA 95814 (Mailing address: P.O. Box 730241, Sacramento, CA 94244-0241). There is no statewide index that includes the pre-1905 records held by counties; however, the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City has microfilm copies of many pre-1905 California vital records.

English Settlers in Barbados, 1637-1800 International Records

Settled by the British in 1627, Barbados was home to many inhabitants who later relocated to mainland America, settling in Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas, and other colonies. In fact, throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a continuous flow of settlers from Barbados to virtually every point along the Atlantic seaboard. As a result, many families can trace their origins in the New World first to Barbados.

Barbados's surviving parish registers were copied during the mid-19th century and are now housed in the Barbados Department of Archives. The information compiled and presented in these volumes was taken from those registers. Information available varies by record type, and great deal of instructive material can be found in the Foreword or Preface to each volume. Approximately 200,000 individuals are referenced in these baptism, marriage, and probate source records.

Books Included
- Barbados Records: Baptisms 1637-1800
- Barbados Records: Marriages 1643-1800, Volumes I and II
- Barbados Records: Wills and Administrations 1639-1725, Volumes I-III
