Alexander Mack performed a marriage for Christian Schneider in Holland and here is Willoughby's account. It's rather disconcerting that the two paragraphs contradict one another slightly but I don't have any additional information to resolve that. David Myers -------------------------------- "Counting the Cost" -- William G. Willoughby (1979), page 114: "During 1725, Mack performed a number of baptisms and at least three marriages in Holland .........." "In April, Mack performed a third marriage, that of Christian Schneider and Susan Macking, both from Germany. This was the last of seven recorded marriages performed by Mack in Surhuisterveen. Five of these young couples migrated with Mack to the New World."
