In 1541, the Spanish explorer Francisco de Coronado, in 1541, was probably the first European to visit the area known today as Kansas. It became part of the United States in 1803 as a result of the Louisiana Purchase. Kansas vital records are available from the Kansas Office of Vital Statistics. Birth records and death records are available for a fee, and with proper photo identification, dating from July 1911. Earlier records are available from the County Clerk in the county where the event occurred. Visit http://www.kdheks.gov/vital/birth_howto.html for more information on obtaining Kansas birth records.
