Center for Jewish History 28 Apr 2019


On 28 April 2019 I am honored to be speaking at the Center for Jewish History in New York City. My topic will be Using FamilySearch.org for Jewish Research. I look forward to seeing everyone.


Oklahoma, County Marriages, 1890-1995

Another great set of marriage records has been updated at FamilySearch.org. This collection, Oklahoma, County Marriages, 1890-1995, contains marriage licenses and certificates from various counties in Oklahoma. It is not a complete collection, but as of now has almost 50% of the records of the state for the time period. The current 345,859 images will be added to as new records are received.
The records themselves are very easy to use and very helpful for researchers as they try to locate family. The record below is for Sam Carshon, who married Sadye Cohen on 7 June 1914 at Pottawatomie, Oklahoma. He was 29 and she was 27.
