Colorado Marriage Records Index

In Colorado, marriage records are a valuable resource for genealogical research, reflecting the state’s rich history. These records date back to 1861, when Colorado became a U.S. territory, and continue to the present day. Early records, which were often handwritten, provide details such as names, ages, birthplaces, and occupations of the couple, as well as the officiant’s information. For those researching ancestors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these documents can offer insights into family relationships and migration patterns. Modern marriage records, accessible through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, are more standardized and often available online. These historical documents remain crucial for tracing family lineages and uncovering ancestral connections.
