Please, what does that mean? In other words, what is a marriage return? I have a marriage in the family (Clara Teresa Mallet, or variant spellings of her surname, and Francis John - or Frank - Garesche, or many variant spellings of his surname) supposedly about 1855 in San Francisco, but every time I ask about it, I've been told that all the marriage records were lost in the earthquake and fire. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Betty Garesché Torno St. Louis, MO
