To some ±t Ls a puzzle that they can remember everyth±n8 except the having been born. Gradually no one kT\CtwS abO`t ±t.''

For the geneaLog±sC, the hunter o£ ancestors. this, in part, ±S the problem. How does one not only recapture a date of birth, and others sig- T\±E±c`ar\t, but sometimes ever\ aT\ e\uS±Ve name? To whom does one turn, or where does one go to search the forgotten facts? It is a problem. Let us talk about it.

There are recorc\s Ln c`ourthouse, church anc\ BlbLes £ec\eraL cens`ses and military files. There are academic and historical libraries whose repos±tor±es hoLc\ re8±Ona\ anC\ Loc`aL histories. Graveyarc\s that have not been Liberatec\, though too Often ill kept, reveal c\ata. There are Lnc\±v±d- uaL persoT\S tO Whom One Car\ turn. You say, `'But we know all this.' The

Question ±S neLCher where nor wt\at, but how?" That ±s the problem. Let `s talk about it.

Let `s cons±c\er the ±nc\±v±c\uaL person. Ul`Eort`nateLy tt\±s creature, the individual. comes in categories.

CONCERNING MARRIAGE RECORDS WHITLEY COUNTY, KENTUCKY

Although Whitley County was founded in 1818 from Knox County, the earliest book to be found in the County Clerk's office now starts with marriages of L863. However, ±ntersperced among them are a few earlier c\at.es Lnc\ud±T\8 a few for 1856.

Marriages fran l818 to l843 are on file at the Kentucky Historical Society as they were copied during the days of W.P.A. Those from l852 to l861 are cm E±Le there also anc\ on m±crof±Lm there anc\ at the un±verslty oE tCentucky Library (though incomplete, I am sure, as I know for a fact the death recL- ords are). This leaves a gap fran 1843 to l852 and fran 186l to 1863 for vh±ch the records are `T\ObtalT\abLe.

This information furnished by Mrs. Honer B. Davis of Williamsburg, Ky. af- ter coc\s`\tat±on with the present CouT\ty Court CLerk, Everett Rains, anc\ with Dr. C. A. Moss, State Historian for the Kentucky Society of the SAR.
