Marriages The following marriages have been abstracted
from handwritten record books in Refugio County. If I was not sure of the
spelling of a name I put a question mark after it. In some cases I placed
a more conventional spelling of a name in brackets for the convenience of a site
search. Below each entry are notes pertaining to that marriage. If you
have questions and/or corrections, please contact me. Please note that the first marriage dates in Marriage Book C are earlier than the marriage dates in Books A and B. However, the filing dates are in chronological order. |
