Well the one I got from 1891 did not list witnesses or anything - on either the Application or certificate. It merely stated their ages, who they were married by, and whether they had been married before. They were married in a Lutheran church in Mpls and they didn't have anything like witnesses or parents names recorded either. I think I will order the microfilms of Marriage Applications and Licenses and see what I can find if anything. Tom
My copies came from Steele Co, not Hennipin. But they contain only name of bride and groom, and name of J.P. No witnesses, no ages, no dates other than date of marriage. I searched for years to find it, and though disappointed that there was no other information, I am very pleased to have it. Is it possible there may be other info available, perhaps a return of marriage record to the state? Gena Gates Lally
