Did the same couple marry twice?
In Skarlin, West Prussia there are two entries for the marriage of Mathiam Balewski and Marianan Wrobleska. One is in February 1762 and the other is October 1761. There are slight differences in the entries. Can you explain what could have happened? Are there obvious ways to tell them apart?
I couldn't attach a link to my question. Both records can be found by searching the following.
Last Name: Balewski
Marriage Place: Skarlin, Löbau, Westpreußen, Preußen, Deutschland
Marriage Year (Range): 1761 - 1763
Thank you!

The wife's surname is different in the records. In 1761 it is Wroblowna and in 1763 it is Wrobleska.
It is possible that the first wife died and Mathiam remarried. The death records would need to be searched to see if Marianna Wroblowna died before Feb 1763.

@jinacaldwell Most of the time, it is best to use "ask a question" - do this by selecting the arrow to the right of "new discussion". Asking a question allows you to accept the answer or let us know you would like more help. I was able to change this post to a question for you. I will mark the answer as no so it will still show as an open question.
