Old (Genealogy) Marriage Records & New Marriage Records (Less than 100 years old)

Most of the marriage records here at GenWed were submitted by visitors like you who sent in records of marriages found during a search for ancestors or submitted a county marriage record index. We accept family marriage records from bibles or newspaper clippings of wedding, anniversary, and marriage announcements. Also accepted are marriage banns, marriage bonds, marriage license applications, pictures of certificates, etc. Currently there are more than 25,000 marriage records for various states and counties, and over 30,000 links to mostly free marriage records and indexes on other sites.

Marriage records less than 100 years old usually have different restrictions placed on them by some states. Losing a marriage certificate can be a sad loss of personal history as well as very frustrating. Marriage records are almost as important as birth records in getting some government services. The US state and county pages are being updated with addresses, rules, and fees to apply for a newer marriage certificate or record of your own marriage, as well as information for engaged couples applying for the marriage license to get married.

New Want the world to see your wedding or anniversary announcement?  Just send it to me and I will post it on the new Announcements page. (Check out the page to see how.)

Searching for vital records such as marriage records to fill out family trees should be one of the priorities of all genealogy research. The maiden name of an ancestors wife brings a whole new set of relatives into focus. Other information such as residence and occupation of a new husband and parents of the bride and groom obtained from marriage records can be invaluable in finding more of your family as well as adding priceless insight into the lives of your ancestors.

Every old marriage has someone's ancestors in it!
