calzephyrI ordered two marriage certificates this week and one of them turned out to be not my relative despite the similar name.
I feel obligated to research my not-relative's life, however. I know it was the style at the time in 1919, but dang, a 27 year old widowed man marrying a 16 year old girl has me going O.o
I'm going to assume marriage was a path to citizenship or he needed a maid/mother for the kids :S
