World War Two / Weddings performed on WWII Naval base records
« on: Thursday 22 February 18 23:24 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,
I am fairly new to RootsChat, so I apologize if this has been asked and answered before, but so far, I haven't been able to find this info anywhere. Maybe a "veteran" RootsWeber can help.
My parents were married Nov. 20, 1945 at Treasure Island Naval Base, San Francisco, California. Chaplain Robbins, a Lieutenant in the USNR performed the ceremony at the chapel on Treasure Island. My grandparents flew out for the ceremony from Ohio so they would be witnesses. The best man was Fireman First Class C.D. White who served with my dad. I have a lot of details from the announcement, but with all that I'm not able to turn up a marriage license, or any record of the ceremony in the State records.
Would this be a Naval record? If so, where do I search for marriages in Naval records?
Many thanks!
Jenn
