Hello, I am not a relative but think you have a pretty easy task. There families are available on the 1900 census also at Familysearch.org for free. Not sure what you know or want to know but there is a lot of potential info available to at least give you basic clues to this family
The following is just one example of info from Familysearch.orgGroom's Name: Lawrence E. Hayford
Groom's Birth Date:1895
Groom's Birthplace:Independence, Iowa
Groom's Age:22
Bride's Name:Grace Strong
Bride's Birth Date:1895
Bride's Birthplace: Lansing, Iowa
Bride's Age:22
Marriage Date: 08 May 1917
Marriage Place:Waterloo, Black Hawk, Iowa
Groom's Father's Name:Jerome E. Hayford
Groom's Mother's Name:Barbara Knetz
Bride's Father's Name: Cyrus A. Strong
Bride's Mother's Name:Mary Jane HoweGiven the fact that newspapers were full of gossip and social items while these folks were growing up, it might be a lot of fun to read social columns of Lansing newspapers from say 1900-1920.
