Subject: Wayne County genealogy
Hi, Mike. Pardon the imposition, but I just found out that my
ancestor got married in Wayne County and wondered if you might know some
things about Wayne County genealogy/history that I don't.
The info: 1863 09-28 (28 Sep) IN Wayne County marriage: Granfield,
John m. Mary Grifin (sic), by J.M. Villars, Catholic priest, Witness Sol.
Meredith: Book H, p. 426, Fiche 4319.
The questions: This is the first record of John after he
immigrates 19 Sep 1854. Any idea why or how he made his way to Wayne
County? The next records we have are of a lifetime in Cincinnati. Do you
think he was already there and came up to Wayne County to marry? My first
theory was that the bride's family was there, but then I found other
Granfield records in Wayne County (see below). If you have any suggestions
where to look next for info, I would appreciate it.
Thanks much, Kevin Grandfield in Chicago
