I can get any number of listed marriages(below)for you for far less BUT they won't be certified and the copies aren't the best quality either. Let me know. All marriages were in will county OLDENDORF christina to August H.

They are for the cemetery in Monee,Ill St.Peter's Evangelical UCC. I believe if you put in some of your surnames, they'll be there. Don't think there's any ohlendorfs but there are schmidts and others. Contact St. Peter's UCC church in monee and ask for your people giving all info that you have. these records maybe written in old german and will need translation however. Good Hunting! Kathy Z
