The reason I looked through your work here is because I seen my g.grandmother Margaret Helen Causley and Louis Causley but I found nothing I feel the pretext was misleading and from my last comment I still have not heard from you about this. This is very important to me Thank You Kerry Milutin Bakersfield California

Hello Kerry,
Thank you for your comments.
I’ve left this database up as a service to the public however I don’t monitor the account regularly.
As stated above ” Please be aware that it’s a synthesis of the information I’ve collected in my personal research throughout the years and is by no means complete!”. I add the marriages as I transcribe each database year-by-year in specific areas, and only if I’m sure they should be included.
I’ll be happy to add any of the marriages that are not included. Can you please list in a separate comment, the exact marriages with dates and locations.
Thanks so much!
Evelyn
