"Addendum
Vouchers, pl vouchers - obsolete name of the document which the Annex , the
basis for issuance of another document that is evidence in the case.
The term was originally used in a broad sense, now narrowed to the archival
documents that relate to marriage . To the state archives vouchers shall be
forwarded by the civil authorities after 100 years of their manufacture and
are made ​​available as part of a marital act .
In alegatach are stored copies of birth (baptism) curia, and in case of
widowhood as a copy of the death certificate of previous spouse. In the
past, when for some reason it was not possible to provide the parish or
district Synagogue birth certificate, drawn up grant act , in which
witnesses who know the person entering into a marriage, a statement of
their year of birth (or age), place of birth and marital status."
