That’s a fantastic marriage record! I’m so used to seeing the bare bones lines in ledger books in the states. I have a 6th cousin who sent me our shared ancestors German Catholic records and he translated them for me (he’s in Germany). I now realize through your article how much time he saved me by doing that.
Denyse, Yes, it was a great record, and unfortunately not all of mine have been that detailed. You are so lucky to have your 6th cousin share those with you. He did save you time, but I will tell you I absolutely love going through those records. I felt like I was living in the community.
Congratulations on the breakthrough! And thank you for the inspiration to check out Facebook groups! I hadn't thought to look for country-specific genealogy groups, but now I've already found a few that might be able to help me with my own roadblocks 😃

Suzy, Thanks. Glad you checked out those groups. As I said, they have been so helpful to me. Good luck with those roadblocks.
