Not just another family tall tale:
Brothers John & Chris Busch of Cleveland, Ohio,
married sisters Mary & Annie Mangan of Ireland,
as shown below in the marriage returns.
The records below were found on Ancestry.com in database:
Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Marriage Records and Indexes, 1810-1973
I am always thrilled when the original image can be viewed!
May have been the same era that this sort of thing happened in our tree. A brother and sister married a sister and brother. Of course, the results were lots of double first cousins. And double the fun for family historians.
ReplyDeleteMakes you feel like a kid in a candy store when we find such treasures!
ReplyDeleteFamilySearch.org has these records too. Ohio records seem to be so easily available! I wish I had more ancestors there, but it's mostly my husband's ancestors.
