Cris... Click here: http://vitalrec.com/ (I cut and pasted, so this should work. Maybe the "/" needed to be at the end. When you get to the page, scroll down a little until you see the state names and click on "California". On this next page you will see "County Vital Records Office"; click there. On this page click "Alameda". You will now be on the page that gives the address and fees. I could have given you the URL page right off which is http://vitalrec.com/cacounties1.html#Alameda , but I like to have people know how to do it, in case they want to look in another state and/or county. I noticed that it didn't give the fee for the divorce. You might have to write them and ask, unless you want to phone them. I'd do that for you, if they were open today. Message me privately tomorrow if you want me to do that for you. I have unlimited calling, so won't cost me anything extra. Please let me know, if the URL works for you. ~Blessings, Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: <crazyangel25@webtv.net> To: <caalamed@rootsweb.com> Cc: <caalamed@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 10:20 PM Subject: Re: [CAALAMED] Help with marriage -- c. 1946 > Hi Bev and Terri, > I read your posts and the link you gave of vitalrec..Ive tried this > several times in the past and must be doing something wrong so am hopng > you can tell me what it is .
