As announced a few days ago, today is Other People’s Relatives day at geneacentric.com and you dear readers are honored to be experiencing the first and therefore finest post yet in what I hope to be a long running tradition. The premise is fairly straightforward; we all have a lot of “others” floating around in our filing cabinets that belong to other people and we should really give them back cause it’s only the polite thing to do.
My first offering is the following document taken from the Marriage Register of Washington County, Tennessee. My great grandparents have the staring role right up top and all of the supporting actors are listed below.
