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
