Marriage records are most often used for family history, genealogy, and adoptee searches as they provide important information about the ancestry of a person as well as a description of the bride and groom, the circumstances of the marriage and its location.
Unfortunately not every state provides access to statewide marriage record information and some states prohibit the dissemination or severely limit access to marriage record information.
