A newspaper on microfilm dating back to 1841 is a find in its own right. Finding a marriage record for my third great grandparents makes it a rare find. I found a marriage notice in the March 25, 1841 edition of the Crawford Statesman for Laban Smith and Miranda Shontz.
The Crawford County Historical Society in Meadville, PA had an index card reference to make it easy, but it still gives you a thrill.
Amazingly, there were two. Not to be outdone, The Crawford Democrat published word on March 30, 1841.
