This would depend on ~where~ the marriage took place. A State archive or Historical Society would be more likely to welcome such a donation if the marriages were not locally recorded. You could also consider scanning them and asking if the USGenWeb site for the relevant County or Counties would like to upload scans. USGenWeb sites always welcome donations of transcripts of marriage records, as well. The USGenWeb gateway is here: http://www.usgenweb.org/ Cheers, Judy </HTML>
