I think I've stumbled across an error in the WPA marriage index, but it can only be
verified by finding the actual marriage record, or microfilm images of the old marriage
book.? Does anyone on this list have access to them?
The index shows a Henry Windell marriage to Susan Windell on 5 AUG 1860.? But I find no
such Susan Windell in the 1850 or 1860 census, and suspect the indexer slipped up and used
her married surname.? Here's the citation for what I found: "Ancestry.com.
Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: The Generations
Network, Inc., 2005. Original data:
Works Progress Administration, comp. Index to Marriage Records Indiana: Indiana Works
Progress Administration, 1938-1940.
Jordan
Dodd, Liahona Research, comp. Electronic transcription of marriage
records held by the individual counties in Indiana. Many of these
records are on microfilm at the Family History Library in Salt Lake
City, Utah."
Thanks for any help or guidance!
