I don't even visit a library - I live in the country and never have a reason to access the library that we are connected to in another town. So, I guess I won't be able to use Heritage Quest.

But, it asks for a username and password and I don't remember having one. So, I finally found a phone number to call them and they said that it is the type of site, that you have to go through a Library's web site, in order to access Heritage Quest - rather strange! Is this what everybody else has to do - I guess I don't quite understand it all.

The marriage must have happened some time between 1929 when he was given a Civil Service Comm. from the regular US Army and his death in 1946. He was James Henry Wright and was working in the Ordinance Dept of the US Gov. at the time of his death. According to an obit in the Washington Post, July 6th 1967 his widow Maude E Wright (formerly Bowen) nee McKelvey was a Past President of the National Capitol Aux. No 127 V.F.W. I am interested to know what this was. Any advice on how to search for this marriage would be greatly appreciated as my research is limited to the internet from so far away. Thankyou, Barbara Victoria Australia.
