Reply: Your best bet would be to write about what you have, and add the information about the two women in a section titled “further research to be completed…” You could also create two family trees, one with each name and a question mark in the birth/death fields. Or you could wait for the marriage record and hope that it includes the parent’s names.

Little Rock is where I ordered it from and at first they sent me back to the county who said there wasn't a record period. When I gave them batch No m586293 and source 1017680V.F-h I was told they would look for it."

Reply: The reference number you provided is actually that of a reel of microfilm that you can rent and view only at a Family History Center(Mormon). To find a center near your home, go to:

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp?PAGE=library_fhc_find.asp

It takes two weeks for the film to arrive once it’s been requested at the center. The reel refers to Phillips County, Arkansas marriage records contained within volumes F-H, dated 1883-1888. If you decide to rent the film, use reference number: FHL US/CAN Film 1017680. Below is a link to the library record:

If you are pushed for time, you could contact a genealogist who can retrieve the record for you from Phillips County courthouse. If you request the record by mail, it will probably take several weeks and you may not get the certificate before the reunion.
