Friday Find

Today’s Friday Find comes from my MENTZER notebook. This document is an extraction of marriage records from Woodson County, Kansas, compiled by Betty Wasmer.

The top portion of the page contained CHRISTY marriages. Unfortunately, the left edge of the document was lost during scanning, making some of the dates unclear or incomplete. I used ChatGPT to transcribe the handwritten information, and while a couple of small errors occurred, it provided a helpful starting point for preserving and sharing these records.

While this document isn’t a substitute for the actual marriage licenses, I’m deeply grateful to Betty Wasmer for taking the time to search the indexes and compile this valuable information. Her work has made it much easier for me to preserve and share these family connections.
