I don't know if you know the answer to this, but I thought I'd ask you what you think about trying to get a copy of my gg grandparents' marriage license from Jefferson Co. They married in 1823 and back then, did they have to have a bond? I need to find out who my gg grandmother's parents were and thought maybe the father or somebody else related to her was on the bond for the marriage. Thanks.

The courthouse is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 - 5:00 unless it's a holiday. The Library is open 7 days a week (unless it's a holiday weekend). It's open 2:00 -6:00 p.m. on Sunday. The Library has marriage records on microfilm. You can look at the actual license in books at the courthouse. Note: If your family married in Jefferson County, there are 2 courthouses where marriage records are kept...one in north B'ham (the main courthouse) and one in Bessemer. For death certificates, the best place to go is Wallace State Community College in Hanceville (Cullman County). They have Alabama death certificates on microfilm from 1908-1972. 1908 - 1959 are indexed. 1960-1972 are NOT indexed. It costs 25 cents for every copy you make. You can go to the Jefferson County Health Dept. and get them to look for death certificates, but they won't let you look at them yourself. They do the search...and it costs $12 for every search...whether they find it or not. You can also request death certificates through the Health Dept. from Montgomery (for $12 each). Hope this helps.

I think its a good idea, may not tell the parents but would have the bond and who married them ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Sue Howard" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 6:36 PM Subject: Re: [ALJEFFER] Researching death certificates & marriage licensesinJefferson County |I don't know if you know the answer to this, but I thought I'd ask you what | you think about trying to get a copy of my gg grandparents' marriage license | from Jefferson Co.
