Marriage Book A-1 is another copy of the same marriages shown in
Marriage Book A. Apparently it was an attempt to make the marriage book
"look nicer". A prettier handwriting, and there is white space between
the licenses, large indentions, better formatting, etc. But again, a
handwritten copy, so no original signatures. The pages are numbered
with a stamper. I do not know if both scribes copied from the original
document or from another copy. I will try to determine that at a later
date, and also see if they are sequenced similarly. The marriages in
Book A-1 are NOT on the same page numbers as in Book A, and there is no
index for Book A-1, not in the front, nor in the back. I went page by
page through this book looking for my surnames. Book A-1 appears to be
a better quality, more accurately copied document.
Marriage
Book A is a handwritten copy. There are numerous transcription errors,
even the index sometimes didn't know how to spell the name, or has the
wrong name marked through and corrected. Sometimes the same marriage is
on multiple pages. The verbage in this book is all run together, no
white space, no indentions, and the black writing bleeds through a lot,
so it is difficult to read and to spot where one marriage stops and the
next begins. There is an index for Book A. The pages are hand-numbered.

So that my information can be widely available, I post my tombstone transcriptions on Find-A-Grave. Not all family members can be found on "my" link, as others had already beat me to it.
