 '''Early - 1952'''
+Marriage records are kept by the individual counties. Records often date back to the time of county organization. By 1805 licenses were often granted by a court of ordinary in the county where the bride resided, or marriage banns were published at a nearby church. You can write to the clerk of the court of ordinary for copies.
+Many county marriage records dated prior to 1900 are at the Georgia Department of Archives and History. The FamilySearch Library has microfilm copies of marriage records for some counties up to the early 1900s.
