I didn't find a marriage cert--that's the problem. I have the marriage license but I think it was among family papers of my grandparents. Their marriage was 1913 so post-consolidation. Strange to me that there is a license but no cert. I searched IGG, Ancestry and FHL for a cert.

If you used Italian Gen, there are two separate search engines for Brooklyn Marriages. One is the standard search thru the NYC Municipal Archives. The other is for Old Brooklyn & Queens records. Marriages LICENSES = PRE-union records; searchable in-person at the Archives. 1908-1951: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond 1914-1951: Bronx (prior to 1914, search Manhattan) Marriages CERTIFICATES = POST-union; searchable in-person at the Archives. If you want to make an addition or correction to the IGG/GGG transcriptions, make a clean list of key words>county, year, date, cert #, then name.

Virginia, I once did a search for someone in NYC archives for 1914 and could only find the marriage license and application which you now know is only available through a search as the Municipal Archives. Most likely, they were married in a church and the person performing it believed that only the church registration was important or they forgot to register it with NYC after the marriage was performed.
