Hi Cris- Sometimes it pays to be a late riser, because I see other people have given you some good info, and you now know there's a Family History Center near you! Mine is half an hour away, but it's open 2 nights per wk, and that's all I need. The marriage info Andy sent you came from a database on ancestry.com. I clicked on the "further information" that appears for it, and it states that a "more detailed electronic transcript" can be obtained by contacting transcripts@ingeneas.com, and telling them what you'd like. This is something I've never done, and I have no idea how much it costs, or how much more information you would be able to get. I do know that ingeneas.com is a separate, independent website, which by sheer coincidence, I discovered a few days ago in doing my own research. Maybe other listers have dealt with them? I'd be interested in whatever they tell you, as I might someday want to use their service too.
