Help with Entry in Marriage Record

M. LynnBreyfogle

Hello-

I'm wondering if anyone can read and translate the entry in the marriage record of my ggg-grandparents? It's from 1874 under the column about any impediments in the marriage banns. Thank you!

Warmest wishes,

Lynn

Thank you, Julia! I'm embarrassed but I'm struggling to learn the geography. What is Felso-Novaj? And where is it located on a map? Is Garadnan(sp?) close and how is it related?

Thank you!

I should have asked this before, but can someone tell me what town/city/location the groom is from? The entry is #155 on November 8th. It starts with a B but I'm not familiar enough with the region to decipher. And under what county would I look for his family in the 1857/1869 Census?

Julia, thank you!! This is wonderful and I truly appreciate it. It puts Erzsebet in the same location as the family I believe she is connected to!
