Your ancestor’s civil marriage record may contain the name of the preacher who married your ancestors or the church with which he was affiliated. Try and see if the church has any extant records. Church records may provide more information about your ancestors. Or they may not. Or your ancestors may have been married by a Justice of the Peace–in which case there won’t be a church record of the marriage. ——————— Genealogy Tip of the Day is sponsored by GenealogyBank—search for your ancestors.
