Michigan Marriage Records:
In 1867, Act 194 passed, requiring every person authorized to perform Michigan marriages to keep formalized marriage records. Information included was:
- date
- names of the parties involved
- their ages
- race
- residence
- birth places
- occupations
- number of times previously married
- place of marriage
- the couple's parents' names
- the name of the presiding official
- and the names and residences of the witnesses
These marriage records were then turned over to the county clerk, which recorded them in the county books, and sent them on to the Secretary of State. (As you can see, some counties were slower than others to comply with Act 194.) In 1921 the Department of Community Health took over the keeping of marriage records from the Secretary of State.
