I know the State of New York began keeping marriage records > in 1881. If I were to request a marriage license from the year 1883 will I > receive the actual license. My GGrandparents were married in Notre Dame > Church in Malone in that year but church records don't give that valuable > information like the actual license would. > > A second quick question. If available, would the license actually be held in > the Town, or the Village of Malone? I've requested records from Malone before > and ended up paying the $11.00 twice because I went to the wrong source. > > By the way, I'm researching the names Boucher (Bushey), Landreville > (Londraville), and Jodoin, in Franklin as well as Clinton and Jefferson > Counties. > > Thanks for the help. > > Tony Trojanowski > New Ipswich, NH >
