There are a lot of Union county records available on microfilm through the LDS Church. That's where I read the marriages starting in 1864. Karen

The county was organized in 1849 and became a reality in 1850; however, the marriage records that one may be looking for were all destroyed when the court house burned in 1969. And, not only marriage records were destroyed but deeds and many other documents that would enable one to do genealogical research........liz
If the courthouse didn't burn until 1969 the records would be in Nashville. Betty Webb

To all fellow researchers, I am looking if anyone can help me find a marriage certificate that goes back to 1879 in Union Co.Tn. I was told that it was in a book. Please help. Al
You can get Union county marriages on microfilm from the LDS family history center. (Early ones tell how many years it was since the American Revolution.) Next best thing to being there & getting a real one, because you can have them make a copy of the ones you want. Unfortunately although supposedly the county was started up in 1850 on paper, it didn't get going quite that early in reality, and then marriage records apparently don't start until 1864...perhaps because of the war. I suppose a lot of others on this list have a lot of "black hole" marriages they can't find dates for that would have occurred during that time period.

With LDS Ancestral File, IGI, etc. as with FTM and other databases that are submitted by human beings, there's always a chance of error. This is particularly true of family pedigrees contributed by individuals who are less meticulous in their search for accuracy. Things of this nature should be regarded as clues, however, until the sources are checked personally, and documented. Even those who are meticulous in their research, it isn't unheard of to occasionally make a mistake (human nature being what it is.) The thing then is to fix it and move on. Apparently LDS is getting ready to put Ancestral File on-line for everyone to use from home, possibly as early as May, if all goes without hitch [does it ever?]. (This is a very different thing from some of the other rumors of digitizing ALL the microfilms that they have available and putting them on- line. The likelihood of that happening is probably much less, particularly since there are a great many microfilms that are restricted in nature as to what circulation they can make available to potential patrons.) And while a great many of us can't afford regular pilgrimages to either the ancestral home to search for records, or to Salt Lake where microfilm copies of many of those same records are kept available for use, using the facilities of the LDS FHC for access to copies of the original records can't be encouraged enough. It's the next best thing to being there. Certainly looking at a microfilm of the original is better than trusting a transcriber of a book to be 100% accurate (always subject to human accuracy, interpretation of handwriting, familiarity with names, etc.) Bottom line simply has to be, if it isn't the original source, or microfilm/xerox copy of same, use it as a clue, and verify, verify, verify. Anything less and we risk repeating someone else's mistakes. Karen

The DAR has completed their searchable records database. As they won't loan their books it may not help most of us. However if you live close enough to a Dar Chapter it may give you an idea of which books to check. Also most of the books listed are available through other sources, maybe even your library. Check out their website at: http://dar.library.net The LDS is in the process of placing their records online. We have heard rumors for some time of their plans to do that. Here is the URL of a news article from BYU outlining their plans. http://newsnet.byu.edu/noframes/show_story.cfm?number=8836 While the LDS may well hold the largest collection of genealogical records, I as well as many others feel that their accuracy may sometimes be in question. But in the larger scheme of things any information is a step in the right direction. Chip Union County TnGenWeb
