But when I searched using the COUNTY DATE PAGE# data, it often turned out that the spouse WAS there, but the spelling would be slightly different, or the spelling would be incorrect altogether, i.e. Esletta instead of Estella (!!), or in one case the bride who had been listed in our family records for many years as Emma June Helgers turned out to be Emma Jane ODGERS and there isn't a "Helgers" in the whole database -- not male or female! So, someone in my family made a "whoooopps" a long time ago. We are all human and subject to those kinds of frailties, right? I find this a most interesting database to work with, don't you?
