Actually, I'm writing because I found it interesting that Bank of America is there. I'm a retired employee of that Bank here in CA. It's amazing to see that our dear Founder's dream of a Bank of America everywhere has come to be. It took nearly 100 years, but oh well!! I live here in CA and don't get back 'home' very often. I wonder if someone close there could check a marriage for me, if not, I understand, and will write to county records. Thanks again for the info. Margaret Rollins yoyo4233@aol.com
