My mother was sure they got married in Portland, OR but after going to the state archives and nothing was available, I decided to check Washington since Vancouver, WA is very close to Portland, Or. Sure enough - I found the record. It turns out that they waiting period is shorter in WA than OR and since my grandparents got married on her Christmas vacation (she was a teacher) far from home so the school board wouldn't know she was married...it was significant. Is there a difference in a waiting period with MA and VT...just curious?CarmenMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928765351501514151noreply@blogger.com
