Help with German writing, please - marriage record, 1886

[Frenchy]

Smalinski! I always knew there must be some Polish blood in there somewhere. Many thanks for your help. I think the 'gn.' is actually 'ge' and on the next line is the continuation of the word. Following the wife's name I think it's 'bisher in Diensten' / up to now in services.

Correct!

I have just done a third modification on #8.

Open questions?

Good luck for checking "Kirchenbücher" - civil registration is starting in 1874.

I have no Polish ancestors in the Danzig area, -
but my ancestors in Palatinate had Polish cousins in Paris, France!

Thanks again, Rudolf. No questions yet although I now need to find out what records are available and how to access them.

That's great! Thank you. You've been a great help.

So it looks possible that Marie Luise was actually Schalinsky rather than Smalinski!
