In this edition:

Hello everyone and welcome to all the new subscribers!

I'm happy to see a renewed interest in marriage record searches lately.  All the kiddo's are in school again and we actually have some free research time.  (Not having to fight for time on the computer helps, too.)  This means that I have to get busy and get the website updated with all the new information I've gathered in the last few months. 

I'm working on more state databases to put online soon.  Also, new websites with records are coming online all the time.  Finding and listing them in GenWed's directory is a time consuming job.  I really appreciate the help I get from you, my readers when you let me know about a website that isn't listed here.  This helps me and eventually may help another researcher find someone they are looking for ;-)

Happy marriage record hunting!

Did you know?.................

In England before 1752, the year ended on march 24th and started a new year on march 25th!
"So if you see a document dated any time between January and 24 March before 1752, be aware that in modern terms, you need to add a year. In publications you may see this written as January 1750/51, the year as it was known at the time / the year as we know it now."
This may help if you can't find a parish record for a certain year-look at the next year also.
In Scotland, January 1 became the official beginning of the year in 1600.
Calendar Years

If you have ever had trouble deciphering an old letter or record from England, this site may help. It shows different types of handwriting from different centuries and gives a bit of history on each.  I found this site while looking for an easy way to decipher one of my ancestors letters. His handwriting uses very mixed cursive styles and he uses a lot of abbreviations.
