Tracing my family tree, some years ago. Sent for my grand father's marriage certificate, on my father's side. Checked my father's birth certificate. 6 months after they married. Took great delight in telling my daughter and son, and therefore their kids, were only existing because of a (likely) shotgun wedding!
