Jane, The bride would have been "old enough" to marry at 14 but she was not legal until she was 21. Remember, when you are trying to figure out what happened or why something happened in Poland over 100 years ago, you can not use what is allowed or common in our society today.

Vera, The record appears to be in Latin. Did you want someone to translate it into German? I don't think anyone will volunteer for that. Try to make it as easy as possible for people when you ask them to look at something; indicate which record interests you. In this case it's the top record dated April 26, 1803.

Hi Heidi, You are welcome. That is what the list is all about, helping each other out. I want to clarify something, though. One does NOT have to have the social security number of the decedant to order their Social Security Application, it simply costs a little more and there is a chance they may not be able to identify the correct decedant. But if you are concerned, you can always call the Social Security help line and they will check for you, whether the information you plan on using to order is adequate to identify the correct person. What is more of an issue for some folks is if the decedant is not listed on the Social Security Death Index. In that case, then you have to provide proof of death before you can order the application. On 4/22/12, Heidi Sisco <quiltartist1@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Everyone: > I love this list!

According to the Social Security web site, "The Social Security Act was signed by FDR on 8/14/35. Taxes were collected for the first time in January 1937 and the first one-time, lump-sum payments were made that same month. Regular ongoing monthly benefits started in January 1940."
