Online Public Marriage Records Free Search

By Claire Dowell


If you want to trace your family history, it does not have to be as difficult as it used to be decades ago. An assortment of websites provides tools with assurances of immediately locating such records which were in archives before the age of computers. Even a beginner in genealogy can have substantial results with perseverance and luck on his side. However, there are some basics to think about before conducting a search on Missouri marriage records.

Before you decide to go to a government office or find a website online, you have to know the people involved with regards to their identities, religion, citizenship and parents. The Bureau of Vital Records of the state is the first place you can go to. You can get the certified statement for the marriages starting from July 1, 1984 onwards. Additionally, you can trust the Recorder of Deeds in getting the certified copy of the marriage license. You can also call them with a credit card and get confirmation via mail within 24 hours.

There is an admin fee that needs to be paid at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services when important information is requested. This can be in the form of cash or personal check. There are different costs per copy in each county. As a result, the current fees can be checked by giving them a call or paying a visit to their website.

Going to the internet to conduct a search has its benefits. Looking for the information is less trouble with how easily computers and internet can now be found. There is little cost to performing the search better and faster. You can enjoy doing the search from your own home as well. The search results typically give out data such as the names, history, marital status, solemnizing officer, witnesses, time and location of the marriage, license or filing number and more.

Collect a list of internet sites that could be useful for your search and familiarize yourself with the sites' functions, know the templates particularly their keyword search function. Sometimes using a site map or site index is easier because web page graphics may change once in a while. Additionally, get to learn the common vocabulary of what you are looking for, in this case, marriage records. There are also other keyword terms for your entry that can yield chunks of information that leads to a primary source. These terms include marriage banns, pre-nuptial, dowry, dower and declaration of intent to marry.

Not only can it be tiresome to look for marriage records but it can also require you to have loads of patience. Services come in free or paid versions. Although, there can be little results with the marital record results with the free version site. This concern can be addressed by choosing a records provider with that charges once. It is imperative that the records provider online can supply the marriage record needed by the requestor.
