<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Good afternoon folks,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have run into a problem with finding a marriage record in
Texas. I went to Ancestry.com and searched for a marriage
between<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Robert O. Kroll and Martha Naomi Turner. I found in
the Ancestry Index the date and place of marriage as 9 June 1984 in Dallas
County, TX.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Next I sent a written request to the Dallas County Clerk
including a money order in the proper amount with a stamped self
addressed<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>envelope.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>After about 3 weeks I got a response from Dallas County
telling me the marriage did not take place in Dallas County.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Next I called the clerk and was told the same thing on the
telephone. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Next I called the State of TX Vital Records and was told
they do not issue marriage licenses but they will issue a verification of
marriage<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If the marriage was in Texas. They do not have a
master state-wide index in Austin.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This couple is still very much alive but I do not wish to
contact them personally to tell them I need their marriage record.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Does anyone have a clue as to how this mixup
happened?<o:p></o:p></P>
