FRANKLIN
COUNTY MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, Books 1 thru 4 cover years 1827-1877
and are available on microfilm located at the
Kentucky
Department for Libraries and Archives. Unlike the marriage bond a marriage
certificate contains information about the
ceremony;
when it took place and by whom. A couple may have obtained their marriage
bond in one county, but married elsewhere.
Bond
date is included on some certificates; however, no loose bonds exist after
1865. Bonds are recorded in book form beginning
in 1878
with Marriage Book 5.
The
microfilm for the marriage certificates is very light and difficult to read
for some years. In some cases names
are
completely
illegible. No attempt has been made to correct the spelling
accepted by today's standard. Always check every spelling
variation
of your surname. The name of bride and groom was abstracted as it appears
on the original document. Additional information
such
as; name of minister and place marriage was performed may be available by
viewing microfilm of the original document.
