Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Sc.2ADI/1038 Message Board Post: When researching Houston Co., GA marriage records, please keep in mind, that the published marriage records by William R. Henry (via CCGS) is only a portion of the "assumed" actual records at the courthouse. The reality is, most (12,000) of the white marriage records are mixed in with those that are now bound as "Colored Marriages". I didn't know this until I stumbled upon it back in 1996. The only thing that I can figure is that somehow, thousands of the marriage records were filed away "unbound", and were either knocked over or mixed up .....
