I have two documents, one is for St.Louis Policemen in 1921-22 on probationary or enlisted, and on 4-5 has :place of birth U.S. ...Col... ?????? The other on a alpha page sent along with my Grt.Grandparents marriage registry (1875) after each couple's names there is a number in parenthesis then a minus sign,and I see 2 that also have (cold.)after the man's name for 1880, one with (col.) for 1867. Can anyone help by way of explanation what these would mean?? I'm wondering if the (col.) & (cold.) are for race codes, but I'm at a loss to what the number is on this marriage listing! Sample: Warfield James (col.) & M.E. Robinson (3) - Nov.1867 age 24 & wife 17,both single, loc.of marriage,loc of birth, loc.of res. both parents names and (parents consent.) Husband's occupation: laborer. Warner,Amanda and G.B.Nunburger (3) - Aug.1,1882 Warick,Thompson (cold.)
