Special Annoucements and News

Colorado Statewide Marriage Index remains available with over 600 copies distributed.  This is a "must have" for every Colorado researcher, indexing nearly every Colorado marriage from 1858 through 1939 -- over 912,000 entries.  It is available at society meetings for $10 and by mail order for just $12.  The mail order price has recently increased due to the increase in postal rates.  Here is a flyer with more information and an order form.
