I would very much appreciate a translation of the marriage record for Benedict Joseph Völker, the last record on the page. I'm pretty certain this is my ancestor as he lived in Quincy, IL and I see the words "Quincy" and "Illinois" in this record!

THANKS

    Thank you so much for your help. I could read some of this record, but there were parts I could not make out. It seemed like there was a lot of information in this record and I did not want to miss any important detail such as that special note that said they were leaving for America immediately. That could lead to a passenger record.

    Your help was invaluable on this because I have been looking for a marriage record for them in Quincy, in St. Boniface Catholic Church records in Quincy, and in areas around Quincy and, obviously was not finding anything. This definitely explains why.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    You had a ? in back of the bride's home village of Sommerach. I believe that is true because I have another document indicating that is where her mother was from. Also, for your information, a "leinweber" is a linen weaver according to Ernest Thode's German-English Genealogical Dictionary.

    Does the "+" in back of the father's name [Heinrich Jos] indicate he is deceased?

    You're welcome!

    I just put a questions mark whereever I'm not completely certain of the transcription. Now you mentioned it, I think I remember the name Sommerach from an earlier translation.

    The cross after the name I suppose means that Heinrich Jos. Völker had passed away but I guess one needs the death certificate to be certain.

    A pretty amazing story that Benedict Völker went all the way back home to get married!

    Kind regards
