They say "when you stop looking for something, you'll find it!" While I was recently perusing ancestry.com on no particular mission, I unexpectedly found the Marriage Record for my paternal Great-Grandparents Lewis & Edna Wright. Prior to this discovery, I only knew they were married "somewhere" in Canada. Otherwise I did have knowledge of the pertinent information found in this record. Yet it is interesting to actually see the journal entry, and serves as a vital document of proof. Kudos to the folks at ancestry.com who are diligently adding scads of records online daily.
