Record of Marriages, 1833-1871

Abstract

Record of marriages from 1833-1871; maintained by Rev. Friedrich Schmid and originally part of the records of Zion Lutheran Church of Ann Arbor. Information likely refers to congregants of Bethlehem Church (Ann Arbor, Mich., the precursor organization of Zion Luthearn Church); may include records related to other congregations in Schmid's jurisdiction (such as Salem Lutheran Church). Records are in German and entries extend across facing pages. Information includes the names of the bride and groom; details on their standing, character, profession, residence, or religion; the parents of the bride and groom; prior marital status of participants, with names of previous spouse if widowed or divorced; date and location of wedding; and the clergyman who performed the ceremony.
