Hi, NJ has marriage indices in book format covering 1848 through 1900. From 1878-1900 there are both Brides and Grooms indices. From 1901 through 1903 the index is on microfilm. From 1904 to present there are no indices Marriages from 1904 - 1940 can be searched year by year alphabetically by Grooms name at the State Archives.. After 1940 all marriage records must be searched through the Dept. of Health The Dept of Health can do marriage searches by both Brides and Grooms name.
