Does anyone have access to the below sources? I found "DC. Marriages
to 1825 and DC Marriages 1826-1850 on Ancestry.Com. Below is the
note sent me by another AMBROSE researcher.
Thanks for any help,
Mary Anne
. I checked the Family History Library Catalog

may

>
> District of Columbia marriage licences: registers/ compiled by Wesley E.
> Pippenger.--Westminster, Md. : Family Line, c1994 - Names are arranged in
> alphabetical order with an entry for both the bride and the groom in v. 1.
> Contents: v. 1. Register 1, 1811-1858.
