Major #genealogy discovery tonight! For years, I couldn’t find the #marriage record of my uncle and aunt. On #Ancestry, I stumbled across a #marriagelicense #index entry for a woman with my aunt’s first name and my uncle’s last name. I cross-checked the grooms index-no corresponding entry! Armed with the license number and date, I searched DORIS (#nyc online vital records). I pulled up the #application, license, and marriage certificate…everything I needed! Mystery solved! #geneadons

Amazing what unexpectedly flies out of envelopes sometimes. I believe this is the marriage license for my great-great grandparents, who married in Scotland on June 13, 1873. I have the address of their wedding location, which was the bride's home, and looked it up on Google Earth. Looks like a very industrial area now.
