1870s Marriage Certificate Found in Thrift Shop: The Whole Story

National media picked up this family history story about the 1870’s marriage certificate that was found in the back of a painting in a thrift shop. I’m the one who solved the mystery of this old marriage certificate. In this episode, I’m going to share with you the whole story, how I did the genealogy research, and all the behind-the-scenes happenings that made this story become national news. This was so much fun, I can’t wait for you to see it.
