As a follow up to Sandi's tip, I have been amazed at how many marriages from Barren and Hart CO. I have found in Clark CO. IN. Since I live in Louisville, I have made many trips across the river to Clark CO. IN. A lot of those marriages can now be found on <www.familysearch.org, under Indiana Marriages 1780-1992.
