The marriage was 10 July 1883 but the certificate was completed 15 September 1907, possible because they lost the original or maybe didn't apply for a certificate at the time of the wedding. The certificate is in German but the names and dates are clear. Witnesses are Franz (?) Emil SCHIFFNER and Anna SCHIFFNER. I will gladly send the original if this is part of your family. Maybe you could help me figure out why it was behind a photo of my grandmother (Louisa Fredericks MANGES), who never lived in Gowanda! ~Carol in Detroit [chornung@comcast.net]
