Dear Melodee, You say that this marriage record has been your "brick wall" for years. Please tell the list members what you have already done to find the marriage record, and maybe we will be able to offer some suggestions for further research. The obvious is - have you tried to order the marriage record from the Hennepin County Vital Records office in Minneapolis? If so, what was the response to your request? I have used the Hennepin County records for over 35 years, and find them quite complete, if not always "exactly accurate". The only index for these records is held by the Vital Records Office in Hennepin County. There are no on-line indexes or printed indexes available, at least not to my knowledge. Also, if you have requested the record from Hennepin County, and received a negative response - have you provided them with all of the variants in names? Please let us know all of what you have tried, and I am sure that someone on the list will have further suggestions for you. All the best in your searching, Jim Sazevich, Historian St. Paul, Minnesota mnhennep-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:19:47 EST > From: Melnsam123@aol.com > Subject: [MNHennep] Still looking mfor the marriage of Harriet M Young > and Albion Deckard Arnold > To: MNHENNEP-L@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: <cd8.21c21587.34c61213@aol.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > Hello List, I am still looking( searching ) for a marriage application, > license and certificate for these my ancestors, Name of Bride: Harriet may > Young( may have gone by Ruby Young name of Groom: Deckard Arnold or Albion > Arnold, 1910 , Census Year in 1910 states it was first marriage no children and > married 2 years so the marriage had to be in 1908, i am hoping someone would > be able to help me find this marriage, its been my brick wall for years, > Melodee >
