In the recent discussion of marriage records someone mentioned the location of the marriage records at the Archives. Is there any information as to where other records can be found in the building. I'm interested in going to the DC Archives to research, but I have been discouraged by the various discussions on the list as to the limited number of employees/volunteers to assist you. If I could go with some idea of where the information I might be looking for was to be found, it might be a more rewarding trip. Barbara
Most of the earlier marriages are in Marriage Records Index by Pippenger & Provine.They start w/ 1858 thru 10/1885. I don't know if someone has done them after that?? The Superior Court at 500 Indiana Ave.NW-DC-- takes care of Marriage and Divorce Records but the people are not vary cooperative in getting records for you. They only accept money orders($10) rather than checks so there is a problem because you have to get a money order. I have been trying to get a Marriage record for my Grandfather for several years(still haven't received one yet)-they are interested in receiving the money orders but seemly are not interested in doing much research . Good luck.
