How good are the marriage records from 1897-1900 (or thereabouts)? Are they the kind that says the bride married the groom by Joe Blow, M.G./J.P., or do they go into more detail (maybe ages or parents of the bride and groom or witnesses). Thanks, Cheri Mello Torrance, CA

Hi Cherie: Here is a sample of the records when there is an application indexed. The first record is the application and usually shows the age and parents. The second is the index of the marriage record: Surname: BORDERS Given Name: GEORGE Sex: M Color: W Age: 19 Spouse: Spouse Surname: Month: JAN Day: 7 Year: 1887 Father: JOHN Mother: --- Maiden Name: GOSS B/L Month: B/L Day: 0 B/L Year: 0 County: MARTIN Book: 14 Page: 102 Fiche: 4107 Surname: BORDERS Given Name: GEORGE Sex: Color: W Age: 0 Spouse: CARRIE Spouse Surname: TINSLEY Month: JAN Day: 7 Year: 1887 Father: Mother: Maiden Name: B/L Month: --- B/L Day: B/L Year: 0 County: MARTIN Book: 5 Page: 47 Fiche: 4106 Nan Nancy Lee White County Coordinator for Marion and Ohio Counties INGenExchange and County Coordinator for Hardin and Union Counties OHGenExchange http://www.genexchange.org/county.php?state=in&county=marion http://www.genexchange.org/county.php?state=in&county=ohio http://www.genexchange.org/county.php?state=oh&county=hardin http://www.genexchange.org/county.php?state=oh&county=union Volunteers have a warm fuzzy feeling!
