A Favorite Find – USA Marriage Places

The theme for week 2 is Favorite Find. In general, I do not have favorites, but like many items equally. However, I can say that this is one of my favorite finds while rereading my blogs from 2015. https://joannesgenealogyresearch.blogspot.com/2015/05/

That was a map I posted on 26 May 2015 showing the states in the United States where 24 of my 3^rd great-grandparents (or 12 couples) were married. I haven’t yet discovered the information about the other 4 couples, but am confident they were still in the “old country.” As I restudied this map, I discovered I had made an error. Indiana should have been included in the one section and Ohio increased to six.

So here is a corrected map: reddish = 1, blue = 6. Note half were married in Ohio.

Since the original post did not include their names, this time I am including a table showing the names, dates, and the counties where these marriages took place.
