June asked "Would you by chance know where these <marriage> records are presently housed?". ~~~ No-- I had heard some from the Muskogee courthouse "disappeared" a few years ago. I would check with the Oklahoma Historical Society, but I haven't found them in any one place or publication. I search high and low for Indian Territory records such as this, and while I don't have time to do lookups in a specific area, many times I do use them to answer queries on this mail list. Some of the marriages have been extracted, compiled and published, such as those from the Vinita Courthouse and those extracted from the Dawes enrollment applications. Just about a year ago the earliest records used to prepare the birth and death certificates of Delaware County were published, which gives the maiden name of the mother. Early Ottawa County School records have been published. I have even found some excellent Indian Territory records at the Clayton Library in Houston Texas, including some pre statehood birth records for Sequoyah County. With so many computers in use, I think more and more records of I.T. will be published in the near future. None of these are on-line that I know of, in case that is the next question. Jerri C.
