Michigan, Marriage Records, 1867-1952

This collection contains marriage registers (1868-1925) as well as licenses and certificates (1926-1952) from the state of Michigan. Marriage records are particularly valuable documents because they often provide much more than names of the bride and groom and a marriage date. While forms differ, you may find the following details among the records:

• name
• residence
• spouse
• marriage date and place
• race/color
• age
• occupation
• witnesses
• father’s name
• mother’s name

Due to privacy laws, images are only available for records that are more than 75 years old.
