Question:

How do I find birth or Death record of Louisville ky.?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Every birth since 1935 and every death since 1869 has been filed with the County Clerk. Pre-1935, the parents had to pay to register a birth, so only the middle and upper classes usually had birth certificates.

If there isn't a record on file with the county (and every municipality reported births and deaths to the county, so you only have to go to one source) then the alternative is to look for religious records of baptisms and burials. For the burial it's a little easier as many of the religions of the south don't believe in infant baptism, but that's the best of the alternative routes open to us.
