Hello, Because the lines of the parish have changed over the years and because of the closeness of the areas, a lot of marriages took place in Claiborne Parish. If you have looked in Union and have been unsuccessful try Claiborne. I have a book "Claiborne Parish Marriages 1849-1910" I would be happy to do look-ups if you want to submit the names. I thought I might share some tips that I have learned in my 13 plus years of research. One thing I have found helpful is to call the funeral home that took care of the funeral arrangements and ask for a copy of the death certificate, if it hasn't been too long the usually still have a copy. It will list place of birth, parents, ETC. I have become good friends with Bailey and Kilpatrick funeral homes over the last few years! Some other interesting things I have received from funeral homes are service records, funeral orders ( the attire worn, casket, ETC.)and even flower cards and funeral cards. Also the court house keeps records of interment permits. These as to record who buried where. I have found out the cause of death the exact ages and the Doctor in charge at time of death. Also contact the newspaper or library in the town and request an obit, they are usually more than happy to send you copies, especially if you have done your homework, and know the date. I did this and not only got back the obit, but also the newspaper articles saying that they investigated it as a murder! The surprised the entire family as GGrandmother took that secret to the grave. I'm sorry this is kind of gruesome. I just thought it might help some of you just starting. Gina
