If this is possible I would like to request a lookup for the Logsdon surname. I am mostly interested in the 1880-1920 time frame. Thanks

Hi, Could someone do a marriage look up for me please? George W.Armstrong- Minnie Richards Baugh.around 1908 or 09? Also William James Armstrong and Francis Mills around 1933. I am searching for the place where George and Mimmie were born,thought those records might show. I have exhausted every other avenue. Thanks, Mona
Could someone see if you can find these marriages ? Thanks so much. 1) Bridgit Gibbons...she was on 1870 census with parents and off the 1880 so she must have gotten married between 1870 and 1880. Born 1852, Ireland, Catholic, lived in Louisville 2) Rose Gibbons... she was on the 1880 census with parents. Born 1854, KY, Catholic,lived in Louisville 3) Thomas or Patrick Gibbons...on 1870 census with parents, married on 1880 census, born Ireland, 1847 ,Catholic, lived in Louisville 4) Margaret Gibbons....born 1866...married about 1894, Catholic, Louisville. Married John W. Fleming. Her name might not have been Gibbons but she did marry John Fleming. Catholic, lived in Louisville 5) Bridgit Flaherty...born between 1847 and 1853 in either Ireland or Virginia. She was on 1870 census in Louisville. Married on 1880 census. I will be most grateful Sue
Joseph, thanks for the directions. Sue
Hi, My grandfather, William Edward Schnetz b. 1896 and grew up in Louisville, but didn't marry there. He had three siblings who may have married there. Elizabeth Schnetz b. Sep 1886 Charles Schnetz b. Oct 1889 Louis Schnetz b. Jan 1892 Would you please check to see if there are any records for them? The only one I know about is Louis, he married Mattie ?. I have no dates. Thank you for anything you can tell me.

Of course, there were ferry boats but the first bridge capable of carrying automobiles was the Kentucky and Indiana Terminal Bridge (popularly, the K & I Bridge). It ran between the Portland neighborhood and New Albany and was completed in Nov. 1912. It was designed primarily to carry railroad traffic but like its predecessor of 1886, it had wagonways on each side to accommodate horse-and-wagon traffic. Within a few years cars and trucks replaced horse-drawn traffic. (I remember how scary it was as a child when my dad would drive across this very narrow passageway that had been designed for the width of a wagon or carriage. As teenagers, the boys would always scare the girls in the car by driving fast...and I can still hear the sound of the steel gridwork our car rode on.) The K & I was used until Feb 1979 when a section of roadbed broke under the weight of an overloaded gravel truck. A new four lane bridge to New Albany, named in honor of former United States senator and Supreme Court justice Sherman Minton of New Albany, had been in operation since 1962. The four lane bridge between Louisville and Jeffersonville opened in Oct 1929 and was named the Municipal Bridge. (We've always called it the 2nd Street Bridge) It ran between Second and Main Street in Louisville and Illinois Avenue in Jeffersonville. It was renamed the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge in 1949 in honor of Louisville's founder Janis in Louisville
Would like a marriage lookup on any HOFFER family marriages before 1920. Interested particularly in a Paul HOFFER that possibly marries a Rosetta Kessler. Thanks, Glenn.

Diane, when I suggested that ALL Jefferson Co. marriages may not be on the CD, I did not mean to imply that the CD wasn't a worthwhile resource. I just think we need to be aware that just because the marriage wasn't on the CD didn't mean it wasn't in the orginal records for Jefferson County.

What you say is true. Depending on which part of the city you lived in usually determined which bridge you used. People in the west end of the city usually went over the bridge at that end of the city and into New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. And if you lived in the east end of the town you went across the other bridge and into Jeffersonville, Clark County, Indiana. The reason for going to Indiana was that until last half of the 20th century you had to be 21 to marry in the state of Kentucky without parental consent. Also there used to be a law requiring a blood test and a 3 day waiting period from the time you applied for the marriage liscense and the time you could get the liscence. That was not the case in Indiana. There was no waiting period and you could get married at 18 without parental consent. I know the waiting period was still in effect in 1971 when I was married in Kentucky. I don't remember the legal age of marriage then as I was already 21 when I married. The age requirement was the same for both male and female when it was in effect. Millie --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Hello Joseph What good information about where to go for a fast marriage. My ancestors lived around the Hyatt downtown and the police dept in 1890. What part of town would that be...east or west ? Thanks Sue
Debbie: The Ancestry disk is "Kentucky Vital Records - Marriages 1780 to 1920 Selected Counties. Here is what the disk cover says: "Over 212,000 records collected from 75 of 120 counties." I note that Jefferson County is included. As to whether or not ANY database is complete, I personally assume that no information source is complete. When I search a source and find nothing, my conclusion is that THAT SOURCE did not contain the information. I have a full membership in Ancestry. (Thanks to a nice Christmas gift!) and this CD of KY marriages and yet, I could not find the marriage of my great-great-grandparents. I found it by asking people on this list! It was Teddy who found the marriage in the marriage book she had. Between the spelling of the names being off and the fact that the marriage took place in 1849, I might never have found it. The marriage did take place in Louisville. I just had to keep searching EVERY source until I found it. That marriage has been the most valuable piece of info I have found on that side of the family so far. I do lookups on the disk to repay all of the people who have helped me. I found the birthplace of my great-great-grandfather in Donegal, Ireland because a very sweet man in a tiny town outside of Donegal City researched the approximate birth date in local records and found the record for me. Recently, my brother and his wife honeymooned in Donegal and met some of the newly found rellies. Like the Lone Ranger, he was unable to locate the man who made it all happen.

Well you might try Clark Co., IN (county seat Jeffersonville) or a few miles on down the Ohio R across from the western part of Louisville you could cross the river into Floyd Co., IN (New Albany county seat). A little bit UP river (about 45 miles) there is Jefferson Co., IN (Madison county seat). Not exactly sure what the attraction was to go the another state but it happened a lot and not always for age/parental consent as I had relatives very much in the adult category that were married in IN.

Hi, I grew up in Louisville and got married a month before my 17th birthday in 1944. Didn't have to go to IN. Just went do to the marriage license bureau. in Louisville. Perhaps there were not as many restrictions during wartime. I can't even recall whether or not I needed parental permission. I would hope so, since I was underage. Just thought I would throw in my personal experience. Henrietta Lavin Hankggp@aol.com Los Angeles, CA
When I was growing up on Louisville,till age 20, that would be 1950, They said it was two places, if you lived inf the then East end, it would be easier to go to Jeffersonville, and the West end would go to New Albany. No personal knowledge, but that ssemed to be the custom if you wanted to get married in a hurry.

I am looking for any information regarding Catharine DAVIS b. 8 Aug 1845 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. Her father's name may have been John. I do not know her mother's name. Catharine was married in 1871 in Augusta, Des Moines Co, Iowa in 1871. According to later census records, her mother was born in Indiana and her father in Alabama. I have no information about Catharine before her marriage except family tales saying she didn't have to comb her own hair until she was 18 and being related to some famous Davis who was a spy during the Civil War. I have not been able to confirm either of these tales. I would appreciate any help. Patty
