Subject: Re: marriage certificate - A for race
Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999 07:25:08 -0500


We were married in 1966 in Dallas County TX and nowhere on the marriagc
certificate does it mention race. I would assume that it was on the
application for the marriage license. I do know they list the parents
names on the application.
