FamilySearch identified the most complete online indexes for birth, marriage, and death information.

Birth

[hide]

Limited Availability:

There is no statewide birth collection covering a large portion of births in Alabama. However, there are a few, small databases and substitute records available on the What else you can try - Alabama Births page.

Marriage

[hide]

Marriage - Where can I find marriage records?

Start here:

• 1800s-1950s: Alabama Marriage Collections at FamilySearch - (List of collections) Alabama County Marriages, 1809-1950
Alabama County Marriages, 1818-1936
Alabama Marriages, 1816-1957

If the marriage record was not found, try this next:

• 1733-2013: United States Marriages, Alabama at Findmypast ($)

What else you can try:

• Additional online resources

• Substitute records

• Improve searching

• Research Help

• Why the record may not exist

Death

Alabama Deaths, 1908-1974
Alabama, Mobile Magnolia Cemetery Interment Cards, 1836-1995
