    2. Morgan County marriage records for 19th century at least through the 1870s can be found at the familyserch web site listed by Shannon. If you can't find them click on what comes up for adjoining counties as some Morgan County residents seemed to go to Muskingum and other counties to marry. Also play around with spellings as the name may either have been recorded with a different spelling or it may be transcribed incorrectly on familysearch or printed lists. If addition there is the possibility that the person used their middle name or a generally unused first name or that the woman married before. The statement above about Morgan County marriage records being found on family search is true for other Ohio Counties. There was a discussion on this a while back on OHWood-L. I think most of these records were actually recorded in bound books and not loose pieces of paper and know this is true of at least Morgan marriage book A which I've handled. I've also viewed microfilm of the actual Muskingum County records at my local FHC and made copies of marriages for my records. I presume I could do the same with Morgan County. Keren
