A marriage record, 1883

 

FamilySearch. Illinois Marriages. 30 Jan 1883.

In January 2016, I wrote about Mary Elizabeth Schwartzlose Koehler, Allison's 3rd-great-grandmother. At the time, we did not have a copy of her marriage record from West Salem, Edwards, Illinois on 30 January 1883. The record is now available on FamilySearch, as seen in the screenshots above. 

I returned to the Koehlers earlier in the week with Monday's post on the citizenship record for William Henry Koehler. The marriage record is incredibly useful for clearly spelling the names of both parents for William and Mary.

While I am continuing to work backward on the records and scanned documents on both branches via FamilySearch' FullText search, I'm going to be shifting back to a familiar branch on my Mom's side of the tree. Some new-to-me records on the intertwined Suastegui-Vasquez-Dalton-Ronstadt families are now available.
