Why marriage records matter
Marriage records are more than just legal documents — they capture the moment two lives joined together, often providing:
- Full names of the bride and groom
- Places of birth and residences
- Names of parents
- Details about witnesses, who were often family members or close friends
- Scanned historical documents in select collections
These records help you trace family relationships, uncover hidden stories, and paint a fuller picture of your ancestors’ lives. Some collections available exclusively on MyHeritage even feature beautifully scanned marriage certificates that add a special visual element to your discoveries.
