Thanks for replying Mary. I was concerned that the documents (marriage, baptism, membership) in the church basement might get lost or deteriorate since no one but a researcher is concerned. I requested and received a copy: Superior Court of the District of Columbia Certificate of Issuance of Marriage License (there were no returns required) and no further information than the date and names. I would have liked to have further verification of the bride/grooms parents which I believe (census) were Cammilius W. Williams (father) of Richard Williams and Noah Drummond (father) of Alicia C. Drummond. Carol Harrison ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
