Kentucky Kindred Genealogy 
Phyllis – Good Friday to You!
I am here in Mercer County until 07/20/2020 from Kansas City, Missouri. I have been spending quality time at the Harrodsburg Historical Society. The ladies send greetings noting they spoke very highly of you!
Quick Question: Where might I find Birth Records for Mercer County in the 1850’s? I am trying to find the birth parents of my 1st Great-Grandmother i.e. Florence Kennedy-Lyen: Born 27 March 1855 of Mercer County, Kentucky. Neither the Marriage Bond record nor her death certificate have this information listed.
The Kennedy cousins whom I have met for the very first time this week did not have this information.
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated!!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!!!!
Best Regards,
J.L.
