All, Charles Whipple, Deener 1873/09/03 VEE 678 327, 328 VEE 678 Seems to be referring to the Fourth Justice of the Peace Marriag licenses dated 1846-1880 (This seems to be from St. Louis to Esplanade) or 1864 and after the 3rd Mun. district of New Orleans. the link http://nutrias.org/~nopl/inv/neh/nehva.htm#va6 is very helpful. I referred the VEE 678 and found which reel I need to order to view. Thanks so much--my search for my family continues. Above is the entry. Anyone with information on the above names? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norm Hellmers" <n_d_hellmers@yahoo.com> To: <laorlean@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2008 9:57 AM Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] JP MARRIAGE RECORD > Hello Economy Water Wells, > > VEE 678 apparently indicates a marriage license from the Fourth Justice of > the Peace.

Economy Water Wells, Given that it now costs $5.50 per roll to order microfilm through a Family History Center, you might want to consider ordering a copy of the license through the Louisiana Division of the NOPL. They charge $3.00 to look it up and mail you a photocopy. You can send a request to: Louisiana Division/City Archives New Orleans Public Library 219 Loyola Ave. New Orleans, LA 70112 See: http://nutrias.org/info/louinfo/louinfo2.htm and http://nutrias.org/info/louinfo/louinfo2.htm#marriages When you get the copy of the license, if it gives the name of a clergyman, you might be able to get a record from the church he served.
