These are in date order not alphabetical order surname first. Do a ctl+f for quick search by both bride and groom's names.  Use first name as well in case surname is spelled differently. 

This compilation was done by Lucille Zoulek as a huge project of indexing the entire newspapers from 1858 to at least mid 1970's.  To say this was an enormous undertaking is putting it mildly. Anyone who researches in this county locally has used the indexes and most any researcher has used them for anyone out-of-town.  We thank her immensely!

The Grand Traverse county data for 1885-1895 which has been extracted for comparison with the newspaper index. 

Items that have yellow highlights are potential errors
