NYC marriage index, 1866-1937 — controlled sweep of twelve archive couples, 21 August 2026
An index is a list that points to where the full record can be found.
Partly proved
Verbatim transcription currently held in this archive — reproduced in full.
Twelve couples tested by intersecting both spouses' rows on county, certificate number and year: no matches. Controls: surname Mayer alone returns 1,025 rows for 1922-1937, and the GGG (all-records) and City (digitised-only) indexes return identical counts for every name tested.

What we still don't know
- His parents, his marriage to Emma Seelig — which was before 1935 — and his death are all unknown.
- His occupation. The 1940 sheet records one and it has not been read.
- [NEGATIVE, CONTROLLED — NOT MARRIED IN NEW YORK CITY] Tested on 21 August 2026 against the New York City marriage index by intersecting both spouses' rows on county, certificate number and year. No certificate joins them. Two controls make the zero usable: the surname alone returns hundreds of rows, so the query works; and the GGG transcription of every record and the City's index of digitised records return identical counts, so this is a real absence and not a scanning gap. Within the index's coverage — five boroughs, 1866-1937 — they married somewhere else. Finding 158.
