okay..I think I told everyone that I was sending off to Belton historical society for my grandfather's b-certificate...with some help from Cass co...well they didn't have it but they did send me a copy from a marriage book (this is my great grandfather and great grandmother)...now I grew up spelling my maiden name LandIS same with my mother in fact my son also carries the Landis surname...but according to this..(so far) this is what it states LANDES, George Mary A. Elwell m.Jan.23, 1905 both of Belton. Both of age. At Belton, by B.E. Dawson, MG 6-291 so folks any help you could give me on these 2 would be appreciated..I am sending off in the morning for a copy of their marriage certificate and will let everyone know what it says...also sending to the Records Management and Archives for grandfather's birth certificate (by the way...on my grandfather's social security application he spelled the surname LANDIS for both himself and his father...so maybe this is just a typo in Cass's marriage book?)
