Regarding the link I sent earlier for Western State marriages database. The database has been online for at least a few years and they are adding to it constantly. As Pat said it covers only a small part of CA currently, but it does cover some states that have less available online, such as; Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, etc. (The point of my email was that the continuously updated database is online for FREE, rather than anyone having to pay for the CD.) Donna, I have copied the database description straight from the web site for you... "Virtually all of the pre-1900 marriages are included in the index for Arizona, Idaho and Nevada. Many counties for those same states have been extracted into the 1930's and some, much later. A significant number of marriages from selected counties in California, western Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, eastern Washington, and Wyoming are also included. For more details, see "List of Counties by State". As of September 2, 2006, this file contains over 407,230 marriage records with additional entries being added nearly every working day." Hope that helps explain the database. MeLani --Anyone know where this info is compiled from?

Great, thanks MeLani! I will add list to my list of "favorites" for research so I don't lose it.
