While the list is on the topic of marriage records, could someone review with me how you go about obtaining a marriage record from the year 1921? Do I really have to travel an hour to get into the city, request the document, wait a week and then go back again to actually view it. I seem to remember reading somewhere that you can only look at it because you are not allowed to copy it. Is this true? I'd appreciate any info, suggestions, etc. Susan A. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222986/direct/01/

You can always try to find someone who's going to be in town anyway and get them to order it for you. > I seem to remember reading somewhere that you can only look at it > because you are not allowed to copy it. Is this true? Order it to view. If it turns out to be the folks you want, you'll pay $20 for a certified copy (cash or business check only, last I knew). There are no uncertified copies / genealogical copies, etc. And no photographing it yourself. HTH Claire K [email protected]
