Greetings again,
The following are all from the Loudoun register from which it was very
difficult to get a good copy. Even the film was tough to read, not because
of the handwriting, but because of the ink, or the pen, used by the
registrar. Possibly the filming could have been better, but we have to take
what we can get.
