My Great Great Great Grandfather was a Harrison and Danish

page 313 (GID: 458.17.52800), about lines 7 and 8, there is a notation
at the far right. I believe it has to do with the marriage of Johan
Nilsson and Eva Magnidotter. Is the date 10 December 1842 the date of
the bands or the marriage? Where did the marriage take place or where... more »
