Regardless of which method you use to search for these records, the process is not difficult and can save you time and money in the long run.

In order to begin your search, you will need the names of the couple involved in the marriage. You will also need the state of residence of the groom or bride, if applicable. You will be able to search using this information as long as there is a record of the marriage in Summers County.
