Marriage Statistics

Here are some marriage statistics from the Merkel Genealogy site. As you can see, most of the data is from the mid 1800's to the mid 1900's.

It is interesting to note that the most popular day to get married was Tuesday.

Church records

One of my main sources of information for birth, mariages and deaths have been the Catholic Church records of Rochester, NY. The records are on microfilm. You can order them at your local Family History Center.

Here is a list of the Churches in Rochester compiled by Dick Halsey. It also contains information where their records are kept and if they are on microfilm.
