    • (DJS) At the time that these records were recorded in this database, there were substantial transcription errors in the available online indexes. Researchers should rely more upon the image of the actual documents than the indexes. It should be noted though, there are frequently differences in the spelling and name usage by some of the individuals in these records and these marriage documents are one such example.

      * Note, this is Mollie's second marriage so her surname appears with her first husband's spelling.

      This source (Kentucky-EASy) may have exceptionally poor transcriptions or, the records themselves are full of name spelling discrepencies. So much so that I have skipped over records of less familiar relatives because I simply don't know enough to decipher the transcription.
