The TCGS Beginners' Class on Wednesday evening covered marriage records. Marriage records are the oldest records available in the United States. There are many kinds of records associated with marriage records, such as consent affidavits, declarations of intent, marriage bonds, marriage banns, applications, licenses and certificates are just a few.
Marriages that cannot be found may not have taken place in the town or county one might have expected. Could this have been a Gretna Green marriage? Find out more about this type of marriage by reading the resources available on the attached handout.
Next month, May 24th, the TCGS Beginners' Class will cover death and burial records.
Come join us! You might learn some little known facts that will be just what you need to find a missing ancestor.
