• The application uses Pajewski, but he signed it Pajewsky.
• The 4854 Laflin Street address is the same as John's brother Frank. He was probably staying with him at the time of his marriage.
• Anna used the spelling Ganowsky for this Cook County record but Gainowski for her the St. Augustine marriage record.

• John's age of 28 conforms to his designated birth of January 1, 1865.
• Anna's age of 21 suggests a year of birth of December 3, 1871.

• It's interesting to note that the name Pajewski is followed by (Page) in the Certificate Record. In the original register, it was found that this was in the index column. Thus it appears the name Page was written later above Pajewski in a different handwriting, probably as a result of the formal name change in 1926.

• The Latin Marriage Register Book shows the parents of John Pajewski and Anna Gainowski.
• John Pajewski's brother, Michael married Helen Pastwa. Michael Pastwa is a cousin of Helen.
