The transcriptions of Großpetersdorf records from the Großpetersdorf Catholic records is for the years 1797 to 1895 and consists of two complete transcriptions, one of the 587 marriage records from 1797 to 1827 and another of the 1211 marriage records from 1828 to 1895. Copyright of both remains with Patrick Kovacs. The first transcription set (1797-1827) bridges the gap between the Matriken.at records (1711-1796) and the FamilySearch records (1828-1895).

The transcription of Großpetersdorf records from the Großpetersdorf civil recording district records is for the years 1895 to 1920 and consists of the complete transcription of the 530 marriage records. Copyright remains with Patrick Kovacs.

Name spellings (both surname and given names) have been standardized in some of these datasets to allow easier searches; you should check the original image for the exact form that appears in the records. [Standardized means only that a single form of a given name, or of what is believed to be the same surname, is used in the records, regardless of what was recorded.]

While the main transcription of the 1828-1895 marriage records is from the duplicate images on FamilySearch, it has been supplemented by Patrick, when missing, with parental names from the original records. Patrick also provides correction of some data, with the original data surrounded by % symbols like this: %data%, and the corrected or additional data in braces: {corrected/added data}. A plus sign (+) after a name indicates that the parent was deceased at the time of marriage.
