On Tue, 1 Feb 2000 09:55:54 EST I wrote this following note. <<...I've been playing mail tag with folks in IL trying to get a copy of my GG Grandparents marriage cert. IRAD didn't have a copy as noted on a previous posting, and they referred me to the county courthouse. So I wrote them. They sent a form ... snip .... "APPLICATION FOR SEARCH OF RECORDS ">> That day I mailed a check and rec'd the marriage license today, Feb 11. I anybody's book, that's outstanding service. I would like to commend publically the efficiency of the Hancock Co. Clerk's office. UNFORTUNATELY, there is no age or parentage information of the wedded party. 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. Hope this helps some of you. Gary Speck GTUSA@aol.com Searching Hancock County for Beat(t)y & Westbrooks families.
