Marriage Records Results Include

Marriage records are one of the most commonly searched vital records when researching family histories, or even the background of a loved one or spouse-to-be. When a couple is married, they must first be granted a marriage license from the local government office. Next, this license must be signed by an appropriate officiant who performs the marriage ceremony, and typically by two additional witnesses. This signed and dated license is then filed with the corresponding county courthouse to become the marriage certificate, meaning the couple is now legally married and a permanent, searchable record of this fact exists in the public domain.
