I'm looking for birth records from Estill County, KY from 1904. Are there any suggestions on how to find them?

Hey jmarcum20...,
Normally, you go to the Town, City, then County, then state for records - in that order. That reduces the cost. So, if the state does not have them recorded yet, the county or town would be the place to go. Since you did not specify the town, or city, the only site provided is the County one.

Click onto this website for Estill County, Kentucky for an index of the existing county birth records before the State of Kentucky began issuing birth certificates in 1911. This county index may have the last name you are interested in:. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyestill/births/index.htm
Good luck. John B.

The Office of Vital Statistics for Kentucky more then likely will NOT :-( have that available for you. Check for yourself.

Birth certificates before 1911 are not on file sadly. Further research will be needed on your part. I hope you have the best of luck. My family and I are from Kentucky also and I have been doing research for about two years with some, but not much, success. I hope your luck is better than mine. I have used the office of vital statistics for death certificates, but not for birth.
Good luck!

go to the county the birth occured in and check the local registry if the records go back that far.

Try ancestry.com
You have to pay to use them but you can get a free 14 day trial so as long as you cancel you won't get charged.
That site is FULL of cool info..I've researched my family back to 1795 on that site.
