Note: Actually, there aren't very many online from 1850-1866 either. Karen

Any of the marriage records available on microfilm can be transcribed by anyone who wants to take on the work. If you live in Jackson you could spend a few hours a week at a microfilm reader and transcribe . If you live elsewhere, you can order a reel from the Tennessee State Library and Archives and work at a reader elsewhere. It would help to own a microfilm reader. An easier undertaking would to complete the retranscription of the loose marriage bonds. The loose marriage bonds were transcribed by the WPA project in the 1930s and a bound volume is available at the Tennessee Room at the Jackson-Madison County Library. You could xerox pages and take them home to type. Some of the loose marriage bonds were retranscribed for Family Findings. The genealogical society was unable to sustain the effort to retranscribe the loose marriage bonds and only about 40 percent ever appeared in Family Findings. The remainder of the book is waiting. It is not scanable. There is a wealth on Jonathan Smith materials about Madison County still to be done. I only found two volunteers willing to work with his materials -- one living in Maryland and the other in Texas. David
