    1. Re: help in getting marriage license copy
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hV.2ADE/2194.1 Message Board Post: A few things to know - At that time the marriage record will be a handwritten entry in a book, made from a report by the minister or JP, with information that may vary from exactly what you have (most of them are this way) to a more extensive mention that might include a parent's name if one party was underage. So, you might find more, but don't count on it. Keep the expectations reasonable. The copy you would get will be a copy of the page from microfilm. There are ways you can request this, and although I can't say what fees apply, $10 is a fair guess for fees and copies, since you already know the book and page. It would be at least a 30 minute task to find and copy from film. - The Butler Center for Arkansas Studies - part of the main library in Little Rock, Ark. arkinfo@cals.lib.ar.us www.cals.lib.ar.us They do not have the staff to offer a research service, but may be able to make a copy, as they have this microfilm. Asking won't hurt. - Arkansas History Commission - agency of the State of Arkansas. Again, they do not have a research service, but you should contact them directly to ask if they can help. They also have this microfilm. www.ark-ives.com/ - Go to an LDS Family History Center, order this microfilm, and make copies locally. It might take longer, but it will likely be less expensive, and you will be able to see the entry before spending money on copies and postage. If you get a copy, post a followup to this message so that it is "closed". I am attaching a sample of what the record might look like - my W.B. McDaniel and Elizabeth Ogilvie, recorded in Johnson County in 1868.
