The June Ross Marriage Indexes of Cornwall
Collection # MS - 007
Indexes to Records 1530-1925

Scope and Content Note:
The June Ross Marriage Indexes of Cornwall contain 43 reels of microfilm produced by the Mormon Genealogical Library in Salt Lake City. The film, donated by June and Richard Ross, reproduces a set of more than 250,000 3x5 inch cards compiled by the Rosses in the 1970?s. These cards document marriage records from Cornwall, England, for the years 1530-1925, many of which are not included in Boyd?s Marriage Index. In addition to these indexes, a third record series contains information about additional marriages not yet indexed by the Rosses. The collection provides valuable genealogical information concerning Cornish American families that have resided in Michigan?s Copper Country.
The Ross Index provides reference to records on deposit at other institutions. Most original records can be accessed through the Mormon Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, or one of its regional Family History Centers. Transcripts used by the Rosses in compiling the Index are on file with the Southern California Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 4377, Burbank, CA 91503.

Related Material:
Collection MS-006, The June Ross Cornish American Collection, contains indexes and copies of records concerning the Cornish throughout North America. Collection MS-008, The June and Richard Ross Collection, contains a variety of genealogical material, particularly information concerning Cornish Americans.
