Subject: [CANAPA-L] Marriage return lookup
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 07:37:20 -0700


Could someone please do a marriage return lookup for me? I would be
happy to pay for printing and postage. If you have a scanner I can
accept JPG format or zipped files. (as well as other common image files)

Hans (1850-1913) & Kirsten Marie Jensen (1864-1951) were married July
30, 1885 in Napa Co., CA.

(Kirsten's name has been misspelled on every document for her so far.
She has been written as Kursten, Christine, Christein, etc.)

I just discovered marriage returns at the Washington State Archives in
Olympia, WA. The ones I was able to get (at 15 cents per copy!)
included both individuals' names, where they were living, where they
were born, both their parents' names, who officiated at the wedding, and
the names of two witnesses. I am really hoping to get this information
for Hans & Kirsten. This has been a dead end in our family tree. Up
till now we only know that they were born in Denmark and they have
siblings in the US.
