When I went to their usual database and put in specific search terms (bride's maiden name, home city, range of dates for marriage), the usual general records came up. I then looked under the new section but didn't have any luck there.

I have to confess I find the website still a bit frustrating to use.

Like a lot of things there, the records are hit or miss. I did find my two sets of great-grandparents from PA. We have a very specific name, so it might have been easier for me.
