I just found information on the marriage of the parents of a very dear old man friend of mine. He knows nothing about his mother at all except that her maiden name was Sigrid Ekdahl, born in Sweden. Floyd Ganz will turn 94 on the 21st of February. He knows the date of his birth but has never even seen his birth record. He believes that he was born in Chicago, Illinois. When we was about 4 or 5 his father took him away from his mother and went to Italy with him. He never saw her again. His father would never tell him about his mother. I'm trying to get information for him for his birthday as a favor to his wife. The marriage index shows the following: Sigrid Ekdahl married Dominik Ganz on 30 December 1907 in Lake County, Indiana. Record is located in Volumn N page 347. I need to get just the name of her parents and any other information on her age, etc. (anything pertaining to her or her parents). Would parents names be listed on the marriage record at that time? If anyone has access to this information would you please let me know. I'd be very happy to do exchange research at the Salt Lake City Family History Library (I go there two or three times a week doing research). Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
