Selected Early Marriages

Transcribed by Renee Smelley, July 1999

     

Transcribed from the Church Record Index at Zion Lutheran Church in Castroville, Texas.  These marriage records are not listed in any particular order and is only a partial transcription taken from the church records.   

Note: Some marriage records also tell you where the license was filed. Some say filed in Castroville, which was the county seat of Medina Co., TX at one time until it was moved to Hondo. Most likely records that do not tell you where they were filed will be found in Hondo, Medina Co., TX or SanAntonio, Bexar Co., Texas. A few marriage records also contain birth dates for both spouses and some will tell you what religion they are. Most are Lutheran, but there were some Catholic and one Baptist that married Lutherans in this file. The Catholic Church also keeps records the same as the Lutherans do.
