Hello, I have this marriage record for my ancestors, Ferencz/Franciscus Jakab and Rosalia Kovacs. I can make out that they were married April 24, 1864. Is there anything else useful here? Their marriage is the very top right. I had help finding the place name, which he said was Gerse (Gersekarat) Hungary. But I can't translate any of the information to the right of their names after religion (Roman Catholic) to the end of the record. I don't want to miss anything important, because I do not have their dates of birth or death yet, only their marriage date, and children.

Thank you,

-Carly P. Addington.

It's in Latin (not Hungarian), which means among other things that all of the given names are in their Latin forms.

Karátfölde was immediately west of Gerse; they have now been combined into Gersekarát. Sárfimizdó is about 2.5 miles south and a little west of them. They're all in south-central Vas county, Hungary, roughly halfway between Körmend and Zalaegerszeg (in the middle of "you can't get there from here" country).

@Carly_Addington I am sorry that help is slow in coming - we are in the process of changing platforms. Hopefully some one with the needed skills will come along shortly. Enjoy today! Cindy Jarvis
