Question:

Whar information is contained on a 1900 massachusetts marriage certificate?

trying to research country of origin of my great grandparents from Finland. They settled in Gardner Massachusetts


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I don't know what information is on the certificate. While there is one group that will expedite the certificate for a premium fee (and I have used them in a rush), you can simply contact the Massachusetts Vital Records Department. Here is the link:
