[Hidden-tech] Obtaining a record of a marriage

[Deborah Chandler]

Thank you, everyone, for your ideas.

Here's what I found out:
1) Ancestry.com did not have the record.
2) I took a guess that the marriage took place in Springfield, and
upon calling the City Clerk, they told me the info I needed over the
phone, and a certified copy (the only type they will provide) is $20.
