           George Addicks, born 1860, age 21; Louise Busch, born 1863, age 18; married on 20 June 1881 in Scott County, Iowa.
           Although the FamilySearch.org database claims the marriage took place on 20 June 1881, the sources for this date are microfilms of applications for marriage licenses. The same database, referencing microfilms of marriage license records, also claims the marriage took place on 23 June 1881. It seems unlikely that the couple wed twice in such short succession. The genealogical researcher is well advised to be cautious with data derived from FamilySearch.org indexing procedures.
