This long out-of-print collection of the oldest recorded Lancaster County marriage bonds furnishes, in each instance, the name of the groom, the maiden name of the bride, and the name of the surety (often a relative). The nearly 2,000 bonds are arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the groom, and a bride's index at the back of the volume makes for even greater convenience.
