Here is what was provided:
We found some information on a Microfilm that was ordered from Salt Lake City and was reviewed ar the local Family History. The roll number is 1854080.
This was a microfilm of Muscatine Co. Iowa Marriage Index and Records
The information on the film where the data for my ancestor was found on Project # 07000 Roll 23; Book 2; Page 228.
The original material was housed with Muscatine County Iowa Clerk of the District Court.
