Mel & Carolyn, two questions: (1) What kind of information do you get from looking up a marriage? (My grandaunt Lizzie Grant GOFF married William HANSEN in 1883, and I saw the Gazette announcement. I already know Lizzie's dates. Would I get any additional info about parents etc by asking you to look up the marriage record? For example, info about her mother Minnie North Star GOFF?) (2) How much searching do we have to do in other counties, since Mariposa was divided up? What records do you have and what do they have? (For example, Lizzie GOFF was born 12Aug1866 in Mariposa but died Lizzie HANSEN 20Sept1941 in Merced. Do I need to contact Merced volunteers for DC lookup? Would I get any additional info by doing so?)
