This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

Treasure Chest Thursday - 1855 Marriage License copy
This is a copy of the marriage license for Michael Smith, my great-grandfather, in Rock Island, Illinois, for his first marriage, to Lena Harbrecht, several years before he went off to the Civil War: 3 Aug 1855.
Marriage certificates are my favorite records to obtain. This one is particularly nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Nice is the word. ;-)
