Microfilm #208439 of the Mormon collection in Salt Lake City contains marriages for 1773 - 1854. These include Mennonite entries from 1800 on. The Mennonite entries for 1800 - 1820 are extracted and partially translated below. Note that Jg. = previously unmarried man and Jf. = previously unmarried woman. My comments and additions are in square brackets [ ].
