Research
We provide limited "lookup" capabilities for those needing information on their families. Our services are provided by volunteers who will provide as much information as possible. They will also attempt to provide you with a path to follow to continue your search.
As of October 2021, these services are free for the first hour, then $25/hr thereafter for non-members.
Research is free for members of the BCHGS.
Visitors to the Society can research through our microfilm of Kentucky Death Certificates for the years 1911 - latest year released, Court Records and Newspapers; Microfiche of Kentucky births and deaths; Surname files of families as well as communities, churches, and schools; and Oral Histories.
