One of the projects of the Genealogical Society
of Aransas County is the indexing of marriage records in the Clerk's
office. There are 25 volumes to date, and each will be added
to this page as completed. We appreciate all of the GSAC
members who have volunteered and devoted their time to making
this project a reality.
The records begin after the formation of Aransas
County in 1871. Marriage records from 1836-1871 are posted
on the Refugio County
website or can be found on microfilm at Texas
A&M University - Kingsville, which can be obtained through
inter-library loan, or through the LDS library.
The spelling shown is the same as the records to
the extent it can be read; however, there can be no guarantee
of accuracy due to the fading of the records and difficulty in
reading names. While every effort has been made to
provide correct information, it is recommended that you ALWAYS
verify the source of the information provided by obtaining a certified
copy of the marriage record from the County
Clerk.
In some cases, the record indicates the license
only with no record of the marriage, so the date given would be
the date the license was issued. In that event, it is noted
under the Official column. Starting with Volume 11, we note
that in some cases an application may be granted and filed in
this county when the parties actually married in a different county.
Therefore, we have added in an additional column to reflect the
actual county where the marriage occurred when known.
If you know the time period involved, click on the
Vol. # below to search for your subject. The records are
alphabetized by Groom; to search for the name of a bride, use
your browser's FIND key. You can also use the Search
Engines provided on the Home page to search the records on
this site, or in the Archives at USGenWeb.
NOTICE:
Since starting this project, the Marriage Records
for Texas covering the period 1966-1997 were made available on
the Internet, and we abandoned our local indexing here with the
1965 records. However the Texas Marriage records were then
pulled. We were able to obtain copies of the Texas Marriage
records and will post them below by year; in the interim, you
can find them in the USGenWeb
Archives. To order copies of Texas Marriage records,
use the Reference number provided to order them from the state.
To order copies of the Aransas County marriage records,
order them from the Clerk of Aransas County. When ordering,
note that the file numbers used by the state and county are different.
