KINSMAN (original poem by Wayne Hand, 1999) Alas, my elusive kinsman, You've led me quite a chase. I thought I'd found your courthouse, But the Yankees burned the place. You always kept your bags packed, Although you had no fame, And just for the fun of it, Twice you changed your name. You never owed any man, Or at least I found no bills. In spite of eleven offspring, You never left a will. They say our name's from Europe, Came state side on a ship. Either they lost the passenger list, Or great granddad gave them the slip. I'm the only one looking, Another searcher I can't find. I pray (maybe that's his fathers name) As I go out of my mind. They said you had a headstone, In a shady plot. I've been there twenty times, And can't even find the lot. You never wrote a letter, Your Bible we can't find. It's probably in some attic, Out of sight and out of mind. You first married a .... Smith, And just to set the tone. The other four were Sarah's, And everyone a Jones. You cost me two fortunes, One of which I did not have. My wife, my house and Fido, God, how I miss that yellow lab. But somewhere you slipped up, Ole Boy, Somewhere you left a track. And if I don't find you this year, Well .... Next year I'll be back! The story of a genalogist life's!

Something seems wrong to me about this. What's to prevent anyone from falsifying info to get a lineage they want? How do we trust authenticity if this is allowed?

Sorry the form will not transmit as it is written. Maybe you could go into your word program and make your own form and print it out. I used a very large, bold font for the headings and smaller fonts as I came down the page. That made it look almost exactly like a marriage license. Just play with it until it looks to suit you. Will try to answer any questions. Glenda

Using a marriage certificate as a guide, I have set up a form for different states and counties. I take it to the clerk's office and ask them to enter the marriage information, and certify it. Then you have a legal record of that marriage. I have framed and hung some of mine. Have found they prefer the data already entered, then they just have to stamp and sign it. I love having legal records of all documents. We do have fires, you know. If you want, I will try to transmit a copy of the form, so you can get an idea. Glenda

Oops, next email I read there it was. Forget I asked. Or should I say, Ask and you shall receive. Thanks, Shirley G.

Nancy, you should send your request to Linda Heritage, County Clerk, Greene County Courthouse, West Court Street, Paragould, AR 72450 (there's a post office box but I can't remember the number--the street address will be sufficient). I believe the cost per copy is 50 cents but you might want to send a dollar since the clerk's staff will have to find it, copy it and mail it. The record is a copy of the marriage bond and, unfortunately, does not provide much information, other than the ages of the parties, the community in which they lived, and the name of the official who performed the marriage. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request, and if you know the book and page, that will make the work easier for the clerk's staff. But, of course, they have access to the index and can find a record for you so long as they have the names of the parties. Good luck.
