Hello again, List, Since I live in St. Louis, MO, I do not have access to the Index of SF Marriage Returns. If anyone is going to the California Genealogy Society where there is a copy on the shelf, could they PLEASE look up the Francis John Garesché/Clara Teresa Mallet marriage for me? The date which has come down in the family is only the year (1855), but their first child was born in 1858, so that might not be exactly right. It was probably a Catholic marriage as they eventually had 12 children and I have the baptismal records for later children who were born in Victoria, B.C., Canada. On the other hand a granddaughter said her grandmother Clara was a convert, so I don't know when she became a Catholic. I've been looking for this marriage for a few years and keep getting "No" answers when I write various churches for the info. So, any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you, Betty Garesché Torno St. Louis, MO
