Denise N. Taylor: How do I go about finding a marriage license copy?
I have heard that you can easily find a marriage license copy online and without having to pay a fee. Is this true? I would love to get a copy of my deceased parents’ marriage license if I can. It would be a nice thing to frame and to keep on the wall to remember them by. So, can you find copies of marriage licenses online or is this just an urban myth?

some county’s now have online searches. just visit the county clerk and records office where they got married.
It’s a myth my friend. Unfortunately, marriage licenses are not considered public records and you definitely cannot see any public records for free online. The minions who put the information into the databases and the companies who look the stuff up have to get paid somehow, right?
But, you can access marriage records online at many public records sites. A reputable one is www.recordssitereviews.com/marriage_records.php. A marriage record will give you enough information to show that a marriage took place, but is not the actual marriage license.
Before you the site can look up your desired record, you will need to input some vital information. The bride’s maiden name, the groom’s name, the city, county, and/or state where the marriage took place, and a possible date of the marriage. All of this information will help lead you to the exact record you are searching for. Remember, the more information you have, the closer to the correct record you will be.
Again, Record Site Reviews is amazing at locating the public records you are in search of. They are fast and will get you exactly what you are in search of. They have always found what I was looking for.
