This is what I do. I request a copy of the index for Bride or Groom last name section.... etc. for the year's I am looking for. The cost is 50 cents a page. Normally only one to two pages is sent. Once I get that I look and see what they have. Order the proper one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Francine" <granij@comcast.net> To: <LACADDO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 10:10 AM Subject: Re: [LACADDO] Marriage of James Pearson and Elizabeth/Lizzie Gibson > > Shelby, if they were married in Caddo Parish the marriage should be recorded > in the Courthouse in Shreveport.
