One might be tempted to say that I don’t need to get a copy of the record of my ancestor’s second marriage to one of the men she married after the husband who was my ancestor died.

That would be a mistake.

In my case, that 1882 marriage in Ft. Madison, Iowa, was the only one that asked for parental information. The ancestor in question listed her parents’ names on that marriage record.

It was a short marriage (50 days), but in terms of genealogical information it was perfect.
