Hello,
This is the marriage record for my GG Grandparents,who were married in Mielnica. They were married many years earlier and this probably represents a civil marriage.
I am requesting a repost in hopes of getting a translation of the words in the bride and grooms column,
David Moses Schuster, was he born or lived in Mielnica,next line is his occupation, shoemaker in Mielnica, then the address and parents names were what in Mielnica?
And the same type of thing for the bride, which seems more complicated.

Thanks again for any help offered.
Brian

I'm afraid this record is not proofing your expectations. It explicitely mentions that the bride was single (ledig = not married before); and both appear in the column for singles.

The age of the groom says 55 and for the bride it says 53 - which might suggest an earlier marriage, but this is not mentioned in any way.

David Moses Schuster was a shoemaker!

The record is signed by the rabbi (Aron Schreier of Mielnica), so there were probably no seperate civil and rabinical records.

The groom's parents were Abraham and Frimma
The bride's parents were Elias and Malka.

[The word "Tochter" is crossed out, presumably it was a mistake of the clerk. The 360 could be the house number.]
