County marriage records are the earliest and most complete vital records for Tennessee. The records that have survived usually begin within a few years of each county’s organization. Marriage records from the earliest dates to the present are kept by the county clerk for each county. Since 1 January 1949, duplicates have been sent to the Office of Vital Statistics. The Family History Library has microfilm copies of most of the existing county marriage records from the beginning dates to the early 1900's. Many early Tennessee marriages are extracted and found in the ''International Genealogical Index.''
