[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Request for information

[Gary Warner]

To all,

The St. Petersburg marriage records are only a Reader's Digest version 
of the original records that either do not exist any longer, or have not 
yet been filmed.  The data in those condensed marriage files are NOT 
sufficient do determine the identity of any of the people in those 
records.   All that can be guessed at from that database is a marriage 
date of two people who may or may not be your relatives.   A complete 
marriage record would list not only the name and age of the groom and 
bride, but also the names of the parents of the groom and bride.

Like most people doing this research I guess we all have these gaps that we strongly suspect are related to us but we are having a great deal of difficulty trying to figure out how. These kinds of entries don't help. :-))

Sometimes the marriage dates are only a few months apart.  Can anyone explain this?  I thought they were all Lutherns?
