until 1908. The statewide recording of marriage certificates began in 1936
and divorce certificates in 1950. Prior to 1908 some vital records were
recorded at the county level. Generally this practice began around 1880
(though earlier in some counties and later in others)."

(There is an active debate as to the identities of the following John, George,
Margaret and William as the siblings of our Peter H PARKER, bc 1805 KY.
We have yet to find a PARKER yDNA test for any of their male PARKER
descendants. In addition, there is a yDNA test confirming that John Burns
PARKER, b 1809 TN, is a close relative of our Peter H PARKER, bc 1805
KY, and several researchers believe they are brothers but not siblings to
the PARKERs listed below.)
