I also rec'd another marriage license from another county, same time period (1865), for another family line, and it also contains NO personal information about the married parties, other than their name, date of license, date of marriage and officiating minister. >> I got marriage information from Kankakee County and it was very complete with parentage of both parties, place of birth of both parties and names of witnesses. I don't know if all counties keep this kind of data but be sure to request a copy of the application, both sides of the County Clerk journal and all documents. Then everything is provided unless the person providing it is in a bad mood that day. <G> Dennis
