Birth

[hide]

Birth - Where can I find birth records?

Limited Index Availability:

Due to the lack of complete online birth indexes for Florida, use index collections with incomplete coverage and substitute records found on the What else you can try - Florida Births page.

Marriage

[hide]

Marriage - Where can I find marriage records?

Start here:

• 1820s-2000s: Florida Marriage Collections at FamilySearch

What else you can try:

• Substitute records

• Improve searching

• Finding town of origin
