Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Manual transcription corrected on 22 April 2026 after comparison with Transcript-28.pdf, a clearer register page for the same marriage.
- Earlier readings of the parties as "Donald J. K. Kiviniemi" and "Elmiina J. Rivard" were erroneous; the immutable raw PDF filename still reflects that older reading.
- The groom birthplace is abbreviated on the form as "Pr. Edw. Isld.", consistent with Prince Edward Island.
- The bride mother's name appears to read Chloe Bruce; recheck against a stronger image if this becomes a canonical relationship.
