Kentucky vital records have been stored centrally since June 1958 and can be purchased from the Office of Vital Statistics in the Department for Public Health. Kentucky marriage records are available for $6 from Frankfort and for various prices from the Clerk of County Court in the county that originally issued the license. Kentucky divorce records are identical in price and availability. Kentucky vital records can be released only to the person on the record, the parent, or the legal guardian. Henry Clay, Kentucky's greatest son, was immensely influential in the early to middle nineteenth century. Along with his colleagues Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun, he likely delayed the Civil War by a decade with the Compromise of 1850. After his death, he became the first person to lie in state in the Capitol. Counties in fifteen states were named after him. For more information on Kentucky vital records, visit Kentucky Birth & Death Vital Records
