Tennessee Marriage Records Index

Marriage records in Tennessee are essential for genealogical research, offering insights into the state's history and familial connections. These records date back to 1780, when Tennessee was still part of North Carolina, and have continued since the state became part of the Union in 1796. Early records, often handwritten in county courthouses, include names, ages, and sometimes parents' names, providing valuable clues for tracing family lines. Tennessee's marriage records can also reflect migration patterns, especially in the 19th century as people moved westward. Today, these records are maintained by the Tennessee Department of Health and are increasingly available online. They are indispensable for anyone researching their Tennessee ancestors and uncovering their familial roots.
