How to Research Marriage Records in Georgia
If you’re tracing early Georgia ancestors, this marriage index from 1754 to 1850 is a valuable place to begin. It includes over 165,000 names—brides, grooms, marriage dates, and the counties where the ceremonies took place.
Each entry gives you just enough information to confirm family relationships and guide you toward further research. You can use the names and locations to find church records, newspaper announcements, and probate or land records created around the time of marriage.
Because the entire index is searchable by name, it’s easy to identify couples, even if you’re starting with only a partial name or date. This collection is especially helpful when working with ancestors from the colonial period through Georgia’s early statehood years.
Use this index as a first step to uncovering rich stories about your family’s early life in the South.
