Just to give you an idea of what is out there, in case you haven't found some of these things yet... If what you need isn't in the list below, by all means try one of these other sites that offer free lookups. Here's what we offer through our little group, followed by a list of the "mega lookup sites" that I'm aware of on the internet right now. Besides these, there are tons of county-specific indexes all over the 'net, and don't forget the Tombstone Transcription Project or the Census Project done by Rootsweb & GenWeb -- see each state site for the cemetery listings links. I plan to post the following lookup offers at the Wasco Co. site as well. All of the sites in the list below offer *free* lookups and other *free* services, such as taking photos of headstones or other such things. First, what we have at www.historysavers.com -- just email me directly for these lookups: MARRIAGE INDEXES: Illinois and Indiana, between about 1790 and 1850 Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, about 1728-1850 Ohio and parts of IL, IN, KY and TN from 1720-1926 Missouri 1800-1850 Missouri 1851-1900 Iowa and Pennsylvania -- I don't know yet which years for these Selected surnames -- marriages posted at the historysavers.com site ("genealogy helps" link) for the following surnames in most of the midwestern and eastern states: Scribner/Scrivner, Tripp, and Hurst DAVIS marriages, 1800-1850 (a few earlier) for most of the midwestern and eastern states.
