Indiana law required the recording of births and deaths beginning in 1882. Few civil birth and death records predate this time period. In fact, early compliance with the law varied and many births and deaths that occured in Indiana between 1882 and 1900 were not recorded.

Delayed registrations of births are found in the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office. Registrations began in July 1941, and although the law is still in effect, most registrations occurred in the 1940s. They may contain information on births that occurred as early as the 1870s. Certificates for births that were originally not recorded were granted after a petition was filed with the court. These registrations may also contain births of people born outside of the county and even those outside of the U.S. Contact the clerk for copies. The Family History Library has microfilms of delayed birth registrations for more then 60 counties.

The Work Projects Administration extracted and compiled the marriage records, usually to 1920. They are arranged by county, then alphabetically by the name of the bride or groom. They contain the name of the bride or groom, name of spouse, date of birth (after 15 April 1905), color, date of marriage, book, and page. From 1 January 1882 to about 1920, there is often a separate supplemental record (marriage application) that provides the name of the person, father’s given name, mother’s maiden name, sex, color, age at next birthday, date of marriage, book, and page. | The Work Projects Administration extracted and compiled the marriage records, usually to 1920.
