Usually a published marriage book can be considered as an index to the original (or microfilmed) documents. It is always recommended to obtain the primary (original or microfilmed) document if you want to see additional information besides the standard bride, groom, date, and by whom united. Anna Bertram -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In reference to: I have the marriage books for 1848-1900 and then 1900-1950 and the information listed is Groom Bride, Date and by whom they were united. Cheryl Davis-Holman - and - I'm going to guess just the name of bride, groom, date of marriage and date of license. Probably the name of the person who married them as well. I don't know this for a fact, but based on the marriage records I have seen, this is what I would expect. Hope this helps, Kristi
