Good news on Fredericksburg Marriage Licenses database. The 335 marriages of 1942 are now indexed. We have been told an arrangement has been made for the originals to be available at the Central Rappahannock Heritage Center instead of being archived. As stated in the past, Virginia was and still is an easy place to get married. Consequently couples from all over the U.S. were married in Fredericksburg.
At the Wednesday 11 June 2014 meeting, Julie Nielsen Cabitto will explain Virginia Chancery Records.

Join us back at Salem Church Branch Library on 10 September 2014.
“Immigration to North America & Naturalization” is a presentation developed by Bryan L. Mulcahy, and permission for member Ray Maki to present was given by Mr. Mulcahy.
Mr. Mulcahy is a reference librarian with the Lee County Library System in Fort Myers, Florida. Mr. Maki was fortunate to be in Florida this winter and was present at Mr. Mulcahy’s presentation to the Manatee County Genealogical Society.
Intrigued with the information presented, Mr. Maki contacted Mr. Mulcahy asking if some of his research could be used in a presentation to FRGS. Mr. Mulcahy responded, “You are more than welcome to use any of my materials. I am honored that you feel they are worthy of such.” He then sent his PowerPoint presentation.
Mr. Maki will be tweaking the presentation hoping to add little known information that would be helpful to those present.
