I'm looking for help to obtain the marriage certificate for the subject
marriage. I was appalled to fin that the county clerk charges $60. Is
there a society or individual who will search for the certificate for a
resonable fee?
Good Luck. I bypassed the county clerk after hearing their charges and
emailed a local society. I was absolutely shocked to get a bill from that
society
for almost $25 to look at 7 marriage records (for which I supplied
the
names of
the brides and grooms plus the dates) to see if the parents names
were
recorded. Their charge included 83 cents postage to mail a letter to me to
tell me
they didn't find anything more than what I already knew. I guess
I was
especially taken aback because I volunteer here and we do everything we
can to
keep
prices low.
At any rate, here's what I found on
Ancestry.com for you and maybe since
this
gives the location of the record, it won't cost so much to have
someone
look
it up for you:
