Due to the fact that many courthouses were burned during the Civil War, many of the marriage records were destroyed. Some counties have done a reconstruction of the marriage records based on various other records (some even asked the folks to come in and tell them of their marriages). It would seem to me that one website listing ALL the marriages in Kentucky (which was a major throughway for migration) would be an almost impossible task. Try the various county web sites.

I answered Dick privately, but for the others interested, KY did not have a centralized Marriage database until 1973. Prior to that, the records are at the county level, at least the ones that survive. Many have been lost to courthouse disasters - floods and fire the main culprits. The further back you go, the fewer records survive. ~Sherri -----Original Message----- From: Judy Arnold [mailto:judy@ntacustomjewelers.com] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 7:23 PM To: KENTUCKY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [KY] Re: Ky Marriages Dick, Very good question.
