Muscogee County Marriage Database 1845-1878
About the Database
Staff members used microfilmed copies of the
original Muscogee County Marriage Records 1845-1878 to create this
database. Because no complete index existed for all of the individual
volumes and no index exist for the records as a whole, staff began
keying the data from each record into a database. The advantages of
the database over the current microfilmed records are that of access
through the Internet at home and that it can be searched in a variety
of ways. To obtain a copy of the actual record, the microfilm will
have to be consulted.
In creating the database, staff members copied the entries exactly
as they were written in each volume, interpreting the handwriting
to the best of their ability. If a staff member was unable to determine
the spelling of an entry, a question mark (?) was added to indicate
that the name/spelling was uncertain. Searchable Fields include: Bride
Surname, Groom Surname, Bride First Name, and Groom First Name.When
a search retrieves a name from the database, an abstract of the records
will be displayed. Information includes: Bride and Groom Surname,
Bride and Groom First name, Date of recording, page and Book.
