I am interested in the marriage of : Jerome-Francois Crely/Creely to Ann Ganning on Sept 2 1839 - I am not for sure where marriage took place. St. Ferdinand or St. Louis would be my guess I have been trying to find out the parents of Ann Ganning. So far, I have not found anything on Ganning. I am wondering if this was a mispronounced name etc. Many French names have been 'Americanized'. I have even tried Gannon, but don't find any married to a Crely/Creely thank you Pat Pat, I contacted a 'Dusty Reeves' at the office of Recorder of Deeds, and got the marriage license and application of my grandparents from 1895, and the date of my gr-grandparents' marriage in 1876. E-mail Dusty at: Dusty" <archive127s@stlouiscityrecorder.org> They are very helpful there, and each copy only costs $3. :) Good luck! Diane Tilley --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
