Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring Judy, The vital records of VT have been filmed. They are alphabetical and grouped in date ranges. Have you been able to check into these? They list births, deaths, and marriage license applications (I think this is what you could call them). And both bride's and groom's could be listed. I know that the New England Historic Genealogical Society has the films.......I don't know who else. Perhaps someone on this list or another you might be on is in the Boston area and could check for you. Sorry I am not closer to check. Joyce
