NOTE: These records have been
transcribed from several different sources, either by us
or by other researchers and provided as a starting point
to assist you in your research; we've verified as many
as we could, but be aware that there may be errors
(either mis-spellings on the original records, almost
illegible writing on the records, and/or typing errors
on my part), so make sure to double check them prior to
assuming they're "the gospel truth". We will never
deliberately include erroneous information in any part
of this site.
These records have not been copied by either of this
site's coordinators from other sites, as has been
implied by some. Sources have included records from the
E.E. Barton research files, military records,
newspapers, microfilm and/or compiled lists that were
provided by family members and other researchers. The
majority of the additions to the marrriage index pages
on 17 and 30 Jun 2007 were transcribed from FHC
microfilm #973027.
