Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Help!
I have acquired an original document "certifying" my grandparent's marriage
from the church where my grandparents were married in 1908. My aunt
carefully folded it into a small square with a note to be careful handling
it because it was fragile. She carefully wrapped it in a saran wrap kind of
material.
I opened the package to look at it, and I now have 9 squares of paper.it has
disintegrated at the folds. I can match the pieces up, but I was wondering
if there is a way to do that and preserve the document. I had thought about
pasting the pieces together on a piece of paper, or taping them together,
but I am not sure that is a good idea.
Anyone have any idea or thoughts on who I could contact to look at this?
Thanks.
