Translation request - Fratscher and Prager marriage 1783
It's the Thanksgiving holiday time, and I have some quiet time to continue to research. I've found the marriage record for my 5th great grandparents and need help with the translation.

1783 entry #2 for Johann Michael Fratscher and Marie Barbara Prager
On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday after Epiphany they gave proof
Johann Michale Fratscher resident here
and Maria Barbara Prager were wed here.
I can't tell the date. The 5th of June?
I am so thankful for everyone in this group who has been helping me!

Hello Lynette,
The marriage banns were proclaimed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays after Epiphany. Those dates in 1783 were respectively: 19 January, 26 January, and 2 February.
The marriage took place on Monday, February 3, 1783.
The groom is identified as a bachelor; the bride is identified as a maiden.

Since Epiphany is January 6, the marriage date can't be in June. The entry reads:
3) The III, IV, & V p. Epiph banns were read for Johann Michael Fritzsche and Maria Elisabetha [Ganß?] and married 10 February [1783].

@sylviaelchinger1 - thanks as well for the translation for entry #3. It's confusing with all the similar names!
Happy Thanksgiving to you both if you celebrate!
