I know many of my family had been married in WI in this time frame, and I face a similar dilemma. Not only did they use similar first names, but the last name White is a tad bit common. It didn't really help me much. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ILJODAVI] WI Marriages I went in and looked at the WI marriages last night and was not impressed. It shows the name of the person that got married but not who they married. I have so many generations that used the same names over and over and so did their children, brothers, cousins etc. It would be very hard for me to find a marriage record without writing for each one. << The Galena Gazette reported (I don't have date) that people were flocking to this one Justice of the Peace in Wisconsin. Illinois had a waiting period and Wisconsin did not. Probably much like going to Las Vegas today to be married. Marjorie Smith >>
