Through April 21st,
Ancestry.com is providing FREE
access to its marriage records.
Marriage records are
such a cornerstone of our research. They
are one of my favorite NC records since marriage licenses started in 1868,
decades before birth and death records were fully required c. 1930. Another nice feature of NC marriage licenses
are that they list parents and whether living or deceased. Of course, many parents are listed as “Don’t
Know” or not listed and when they are, it’s always a neat find!
Did you make a neat find in the Ancestry.com marriage database?
Are there other neat collections of marriage records you often do
research in?
Are there some “hidden gem” collections of marriage records unique
to your community?

When I tried to access a Canadian marriage record just now, the screen to purchase a world explorer membership popped up, so my US membership isn't good enough, and it isn't free access to all marriage records.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know John. Since I have a world membership, it's hard for me to check the limitations of such "Free" offers.
