On January 28, 1929 Frank Zesut married Anna Rurek.
I found a copy of Frank & Anna’s marriage certificate/license at the Glastonbury Town Hall and transcribed the information on it. The original document is held by the City Of Hartford Vital Records Dept.

The only people in the photo I’ve been able to place names to are Mary Zesut (young girl on the far left), Frank and Anna Rurek Zesut (center) and William Zesut (back right). The rest are presumed to be from Anna Rurek’s family.
A High-Resolution version of this photo can be found in the Photo Archive.
Frank & Anna would go on to have two children; Edward and Irene. Both children would eventually marry and have children of their own. Irene is very passionate about Rzeszut family history and has been an invaluable resource to me.
Copies of CT marriage Licenses are open to the public and a copy of Frank and Anna’s can be ordered from the The City Of Hartford Vital Records Department. The order form for a copy can be reached here.
