What Can Marriage Records Tell You?

With marriage, engagement, or anniversary announcements, you can uncover details like:

  • Bride's and groom's names
  • Date and location of the marriage
  • Ages of the couple
  • Names and birthplaces of the bride's and groom's parents

Newspaper announcements can even serve as a substitute for government records that were lost or destroyed.

And marriage records are just the beginning. Obituaries may also tell when the person was married. Delve deeper into our other record collections to learn even more.
