Digging in Family Search for New Historical Records
On tap today for me is spending hours in Family Search as they have announced new online records which include something like 5 million United States Obits as well as many new finds across the pond. Have a hankering to spend time in English parish records? Or maybe Civil Registrations from around various parts of the world? Or cemetery records? Or marriage records?
What a happy exhausting day this will be!

Philadelphia Saturday Courier 3 January 1835 Marriages
Sometimes, transcribing from old newspapers can be a challenge. Take, for instance, the transcription of today.
Note that there is one marriage with no date listed. So it was recent, but when? Perhaps that family researcher can tell one!
Also, there are three marriages that I am not sure how to decipher the dates. I can assume since this is a Saturday paper, that the notation of "Wednesday evening" could be the Wednesday of that week. However, Wednesday of that week was in a previous month and year. Which way to go here since many of the marriages listed do detail it was the previous month.
To add to the fun, I think a couple of the marriages listed were for widows as their fathers have a different last name. That is just a guess on my part.

Ahh, genealogy. Looking at the dates and wondering. Leaving to the family to figure it out sounds like a perfect cup of tea for me!
