Note from BarbR:
This is a marriage index I started many years ago in a
database. Along the way, I’ve added notes I’ve gathered from other records to
use in my other research (nee, div., & wid. are examples) & quirky
things like * or “CHECK” are indicators I need to revisit this record. I could
have deleted these but haven’t done so. Disregard if you choose.
*As I’m adding images I am changing
the name (first & last) to what you will find in the images & many
times there are various spellings for the same individual. These variations are
given with an “&”. For example: Hendrick & Henrick Jr or Jensey & Jinsey. If the
individual is known by another name (from other records), I’ve used “aka”. As
an example: Sary aka Sarah Elizabeth. Until I cross
check the images the name of the individuals (first & last) is how I know
the person & or how I have them noted in Families of Floyd Co., VA. Also, a
female will be indexed her maiden name but am changing this to, as example:
Shelor nee Wade.
You’ll see marriages from other
counties/places too. No apologies. Just, didn’t want to sort them out. You’ll
also see some post 1940 marriages but only those I come upon in other research.
Re: the missing source information.
This, like all my projects, started many, many years ago & originally for
my own use. And admittedly, I was not very good at recording sources in my
index, but I will “fix” this as I can, but until then, here are my sources:
·
Ancestry.com ($ subscription):
mainly indexes & transcriptions (not word for word but usually includes
parents) for all of US. As of 2017, many images have been also been provided.
Due to copyright issues, I have not included any of their images. The images I have
were downloaded from the Library of Virginia & passed on to me for
indexing.
