Lisa A
Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist started the Fearless Females prompts for
Women’s History Month. Throughout March, each day will feature a different
female ancestor. Today’s
prompt is: Do you have marriage records for your grandparents or
great-grandparents? Write a post about where they were married and when. Any
family stories about the wedding day? Post a photo too if you have one.
I have a (very poor) copy of my
great grandparents’ marriage record from the Church register. Panko Hruszczak
and Bessie Matys married on 24 July 1915 in the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Greek
Catholic Church in Coatesville, Chester
County . She would have
been 20 at the time.
My late cousin Catherine Matys
Rothermal was one of the flower girls at the wedding. Catherine would have been
seven when Panko and Bessie got married.
Bessie had arrived in
Coatesville just three years before that, in 1912. Bessie had lived with Catherine’s family before she married.

Females is a daily prompt throughout March celebrating Women’s History Month
