Wedding Wednesday: Thomas S. Moore & Maggie Ruth Hawkins Wedding Certificate
My Descendants Paternal Ancestry
I happened to come across a wonderful resourceful blog site Gen Roots, and there was so much information as to where you can find records. This site lead me to Cook County Records @ http://cookcountygenealogy.com/. I went there because my mother-in-law was married in Chicago, Illinois, and I was curious if I could find any records available. This is what I found! I couldn’t help but show my children the wedding license of their paternal grandparents. Thomas S. Moore died years before my children were born and before I married their son. Maggie is still living, and she has been a wonderful mother-in-law. Even though I am no longer married, I still call her “Mama Moore”.

On another note…I thought Mama Moore is so similar to me. She married a man that was 13 years older than her, like I did and she was 8 months pregnant when she got married, like I did…She married on January 31st, 1955. A week before my x-husband was born.

Thank you…I had been in a little funk for a while about blogging…I guess it gets like that. Thanks for the encouragement.
