The abstracts are arranged alphabetically by the groom�s name and spelled as he signed the bond. Each abstract contains the name of the groom, the bride, the date of solemnization and the official or minister who performed the cere�mony. It gives the date of the bond and the name of the bondsman. The letter/number item locates the original bond. Not all abstracts contain all the items listed.
