Indiana, Marriages, 1811-2019

What is in This Collection?

This collection was indexed in partnership with the Indiana Genealogical Society. It consists of a name index & images of marriages recorded in the Indiana Territory and in the state of Indiana between 1811 and 2007. This is an ongoing project, so additional records will be added as indexing is completed. New images are being added as they become available. Early county marriage records were handwritten into bound books with multiple entries to a page. Pre-printed register books began to be used about 1850. By 1905, the printed format included only one entry on each page.

Clerks of the Circuit Court recorded marriages performed by religious or civil authorities. Records consisted of licenses, marriage returns and marriage entries. The state of Indiana began collecting marriages from the counties in 1958.

The images in this collection contain a watermark that reads, "Unofficial Record". This is to identify the records are for personal genealogical use only and are not valid as any form of official identification.

Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
