Dianna to answer your question the only record of early marriages would be in the church to which they belong..you would need to find that first and hopefully it would be recorded there. to answer your second question I believe that you might want to check with the Lancaster County Archives for record of a death that occurred in the county in the time period you are checking. not sure but they might start around the 1880 period you are asking about. again the best would probably be the church record of the burial. the Lancaster County Archives are located at Court House 50 North Duke Street Lancaster Pa 17602 717 299 8319 hope this helps ' Joe Wolfe On Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:53:29 -0400 mtmodie@aol.com writes: > Does anyone know how far back marriage information was recorded in > Pennsylvania? > > I am trying to find out the marriage date of Michel Brenner and his > wife Susanna and what Susanna's maiden name was. > > Michael was born August 12, 1782 in Elizabethtown, Lancaster, PA and > died in 1840 in Mt.
