Births, Marriages & Deaths

Louisiana (like many states these days) restricts access to certain public records.  For information on accessing information, please visit: http://oph.dhh.state.la.us/recordsstatistics/vitalrecords/page2b2f.html?page=377

"The Louisiana Vital Records Registry is the repository for all Louisiana Birth Certificates less than 101 years old . If the birth occurred in Louisiana more than 100 years ago, you must submit your order to the Office of the Secretary of State. If the birth or death occurred in another state, please contact the Vital Records office in that state for instructions."

March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database.  The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. 

At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. The Louisiana USGenWeb Project is an extension of the KY GenWeb Project.
