I have been working on my (step) 2
nd great grandmother's genealogy with my cousin Randy, her name was Angelina Lewis
Schweikert. I hate to even call her a step because she lovingly raised my Great Grandmother who lost her mother when she was two years old. Not only did Angelina raise 8 of my great-great grandmothers siblings but she had 9 of her own children with my
GG grandfather John
Schweikert. Below is a note that was attached to her marriage certificate that we just located, the note gives permission from Angelina's father, (Andrew), for Angelina, (28 years old at the time), to marry John
Schweikert, age 47!
Let me translate:
June the 14
th 1873
"Let John
Schweikert have license, the girl is
daughter Angelina Lewis,
Andrew Lewis"
