Marriage records usually date from the formation of each county and are found in the County Clerk's Office in each county.
Since 1958, marriages also have been registered at the state level. The Indiana State Board of Health published these records annually from 1958 to 1965. These published volumes are available at the [http://www.in.gov/library/ Indiana State Library] and the [http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/ Allen County Public Library]. The Family History Library has them for 1960 and 1964. The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library has microfilm indexes of the records from 1958 to the present. The Allen County Public Library has these microfilm indexes for 1962 to 1992.

'''1958 - Present'''
There was no state-level registration of marriages until 1958. The State Board of Health published these records annually from 1958 to 1965 and the Family History Library has them for 1960 and 1964 (see below). The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library has microfilm indexes of the records from 1958 to the present.
Since 1807, these records have been kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court. While some records have been destroyed, the records generally date from the organization of the county. For copies, write to the clerk in the county where the license was issued.


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.
