I have located my grandfather's birth record in the Belarus archives in Nacha Russia just over the border of Lithuania and in Belarus in 1890

I found my great grandfather, Adam Szwed marriage record in 1885 born in 1860 Nacha Russia

I have found My great great grandfather's records of births starting in 1855 in Nacha Russia but have been unable to locate a marriage record in either the Lithuanian or Belarus archives.

I have searched the microfilms (Familysearch.org) of the following parishes:Voronova, Eishishki, Radun, Ishcholno, Solechniki, Osova, Verkh, Beniakony, Vasilishki, Butrimantsy and Zabolot. These church records were bundled with the microfilms of the Nacha church and many Szweds were found within. But have not located located a marriage record.

I am thinking of jumping my search to look for a record of birth around 1835 but I would have no way of linking or proof of heritage. Does anyone out there have any ideas on how I would go about finding a marriage record?

My problem is I think with the mind of a 20th -21 century man. It would seem to me that travel would have been very difficult because of the lack of railroads and telephones in this time period. I have also considered that my GG Grandfather may have been in the army of there may have been an arranged marriage.
