Hi Joyce
Could I impose on you perhaps to see what you have on a marriage of John MITCHELL to
Elizabeth GILLIAM (or some such spelling)? It most certainly
would have occurred in Goochland Co VA sometime in the late 1800's but I haven't
entirely ruled out Fauquier Co yet.
Whenever you have time. I've been looking for this marriage for a long time. They
are my 4g grandparents.
Thanks - George

Hi Peggy,
I have several packs of Family Tree Maker CDs, most of which are no help on
MY family! However, I have found CD#4, Marriage Index: MD, NC and VA,
1624-1915, to be rather helpful. I have found at least one marriage for a
pair of ancestors that I had not found elsewhere. However, there are a lot
of my ancestors that should be in there that are not! It is somewhat
difficult to search, as there is no 'search' feature. Instead, you have to
look for the county of interest, and then the people are listed
alphabetically for that county. It is very easy to go farther than you
wished and have to back up to the right place, though! If you should want me
to look for one name to see if it is listed, I can do that, although FTM
specifically states that wholesale-type lookups are not allowed! BTW, both
Frederick and Baltimore counties are included in this CD.
