Marriages
I have transcribed here key information from a subset of the marriage records.
The records I am interested in are those that mention Alsace,
and those that have a relationship to my family.
I have reviewed all marriages for the years 1849 through 1851.
All of the marriage records that I have reviewed so far
name the town and country of origin of the bride and groom.
The names are in Latin.
