Fredericksburg Marriage License Project Update – Marriage licenses are now digitized back to 1857. We can almost see the end of this project, which will include marriages back to the mid-1700s!
Fredericksburg Circuit Court Digitization Project – Fredericksburg marriages are now digitized through 1889. Fredericksburg is only the second municipality to request database access earlier than 1890. FRGS members are working on this project. The court received funds this winter to allow their land records to be digitized. And their archivist is busy digitizing other records.
FRGS member Ray Maki gave his Making Sense of the Census to the Heartsfield Assisted Living residents and their families on 21 April. Lots of good questions and much interest. His next presentation is in June to the New Comers and Old Friends in Spotsylvania.
