Description

From Ancestry.com, "this collection is an index to marriage records in the state of Illinois for the years 1860 through 1920. The Illinois Marriage Records Index extracts details from historical marriage certificates and licenses and, unless the record was incomplete, will feature the full names of the bride and groom, as well as the marriage date and where the marriage took place.
The Illinois State Archives, in conjunction with the Illinois State Genealogical Society, created this marriage database using volunteers and staff to enter marriage records from public record offices across the state into a single marriage records index. Marriage records are kept by each individual county clerk's office, so historical marriage certificates and licenses had to be located, and information was extracted into the Illinois Marriage Index by county.
