Thank you ALL who responded. There were some great ideas. And I will follow each one of them. And some very helpful information, answering many questions. Jean, I did had a similiar experience in California with William Sansoni;'s father. An Italian emmigrant. He lived in Marysville, Yuba County but went to San Francisco to be married in the <Nearest> Catholic Church. Or maybe a special one? But he did not get a license in Marysville. Linda
