Ok, I had a hard time reading this record. I'm not sure which record Steve is reading. We must be looking at different records. A fresh look this morning. Marriage on 21 Sep 1825. I had a hard time with the one, but the index a few pages later confirms both the date and the wife. Dominique is a weaver (tisserand), born in Reguisheim. His father a laborer (journalier) and both his parents are alive and living in Reguisheim. I can't be certain, but I think Marie Ann Zwiger was born and lives in Bollwiller. Her father is dead and her mother is present and is a witness. Witnesses: [Fr]? Joseph Diernay, age 56, daylaborer (journalier) [bride]. Jean ?Schneider?, age 46, farmer (cultivateur), cousin of the bride. Lorenz/Laurent Salomon, age 37, farmer [cultivateur], cousin of the bride. Remy Durrwill, age 46. The Schneider looks like Schinidlir. So Schneider/Schneidler/Schindler/Schmider/?. Someone better than me will need to look at it. Also, not positive on Diernay, that appears to be the way he signed it, but not how it appears in the text. Lorenz Salomon signed as Lorenz, but in the text it is Laurent. Lastly, I think the bride's mother is Anne Marie Meiss, not Miess. Very difficult to read.
