Just to let you know that if you have research in Kentucky, the
Kentucky
Genweb has posted Vital Records on their website. There are Cavenders on
this list. Be sure and look for multiple listings and click on the name.
Have a good one!

The KYGenWeb Project is very proud to announce the latest addition to
our "Special Collections" of research references for those with Kentucky
roots, the Kentucky Vital Records Project.
(
http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp<http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenw...
rp>)
What began as a "dream" of 3 of us involved with the KYGenWeb Project
and the KYGenWeb Archives, a centralized collection of Kentucky birth,
marriage and death records, is now available in the first stages for
Kentucky researchers. Currently, the browsable index lists all of the
deaths in the KY Death Index (1911-1999).
We are in the process of adding digital images and transcriptions of
actual death certificates. These digital images and transcriptions will
be linked to the browsable index as they are added to the collection.
Records for this project will be a combination of researcher-contributed
records and a coordinated extraction program so we can get them up as
quickly as possible. We will begin adding birth records about 15 April
2004 and marriage records about 1 June 2004. As these records are
added, they will also be linked to the index. (NOTE: Birth records will
only be added for persons born before the year 1854, unless proof of
death is provided. We want to ensure that the privacy and safety of
living individuals is not compromised.)
The browsable index will be a great help to KY researchers by itself, as
you'll be able to search for those "creative" spellings that all of us
have been blessed (or cursed) with. Tens of thousands of corrections
have already been made to the original index. Corrections from site
visitors are encouraged. As corrected or additional information is
received on any of the records, it will be incorporated into the index
for the benefit of future site visitors. In addition to the browsable
index, be sure to check out the site search engine, as it will pick up
additional information in the transcriptions (most importantly, parents'
and spouse's names, if given).
We invite everyone to stop in and check out this newest addition. Our
hope is that you'll find some "treasures" here and that you'll then
share your collections so that others can find theirs too.
