Where to Find Marriage Records
Every county in Ohio keeps vital records such as marriage and divorce records, and the same is true for Fayette County. You can get birth, death, marriage, divorce, and anniversaries all in one place if you know where to look. In fact, there is a whole staff of people who work on these records and they make it their business to ensure that you have all of the information that you need, when you need it. These professionals also update the information that you obtain from the records on a regular basis so you can always be as up to date as possible. You can access the vital records office either at your local county courthouse or online through the Fayette County Clerk of Court’s website.
Marriage records are something that you may one day need to find out more information about, for example to add to your genealogy. There are a couple of different ways that this can be done. If you have access to these records and the right kind of equipment (digitalize it! ), then you can easily have the information that you are looking for. There are now state-of-the art genealogy equipment available that can enable anyone to search for information such as location, marital status, and the names of the parties involved.
When it comes to marriage records in Fayette County, you can expect to receive a copy from the local County Clerk of Court. There will normally be two copies, one that you can download from the county’s website and another that you can bring with you to the courthouse and fill out there. If you are having trouble locating the marriage records, the best place to check is the Locate a Marriage Record site found at the county Clerk of Court’s website. There is usually a small fee associated with using this service, but it is well worth it to find out all of the information that you need. You will want to know who was involved, when the wedding occurred, and the names of the groom and bride if there are any.
Once you find the records that you are looking for, you will need to find an expert who is willing to look them over. This is the only way to determine if the records are accurate or not. The cost of retrieving these records from the County Clerk’s Office varies depending on what information you want to look up. For example, you will generally have to pay about $25 to look up something like marriage license records, while other records may be free. However, it will be worth it to find out if the records are accurate because you never know what you are getting.
Fortunately, you do not have to find a professional to do the searching for you. There are services available online that will give you access to public records as long as you provide some basic information on yourself, the couple, and the wedding date. You should definitely take the time to input as much information as possible in order to get the most accurate results. The information that you will need to input will include the names of the bride and groom, the current and past names of the wife and groom, their parents, and the birth dates.
After you have entered all of this information, you will then be able to see which records are available by either searching by the names or using the category listings that are usually shown. It will then show you which records are available by state. You can usually choose to search by name, county, or even the entire state. These services also offer a lot of other information besides the marriage records, such as court information, census information, birth and death records, and a host of others. All of this is well worth the price of the service provided, as it gives you all of the information that you will ever need on just one easy to use website.
