Here is the number, and I want to give it with its limitations attached because he would have, and because a number without its limitations is what got me into all of this.

Six hundred and eleven.

Six hundred and eleven marriages in Ramsey County between the eleventh of April 1990 and the third of March 2017, in which Walter Anders Strand signed in a witness box.

It is not complete.

Some years are thinner than others because of how things were filed and because between 2008 and 2011 the county was moving to a different system and there is a gap I could not close.

The real number is higher.
