Surnames: Schulte, Linke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WZB.2ACI/727 Message Board Post: Thanks to the helpful folks at the Sandusky County Probate Court, I now have the 1893 marriage record of my great-grandparents Friedrich Schulte and Sophia Linke. The record shows that they were joined in marriage by J. W. Johanssen, M. Ch. (or Cb.???). Does anyone know if Mr. Johnansseen is a civil or church official -- and the significance of the "M. Ch." (or "Cb.")? If a church official, does anyone know which church? Thanks, Greg Schulte, Great Falls, Virginia
