Why This Database is Valuable: This Marriage License Application Index is a compilation of the marriage license applications that were sent from the county in which the marriage license is filed. Index information includes bride and groom names, ages, and the county where the application was filed. This Index cannot be considered comprehensive. To receive information on marriages prior to 1966, or if you cannot locate a marriage in this index, you must contact the County in which the marriage occurred. Contains more than six million names.
Next Steps: This database can help prove when and where people were married, establishing relationships between couples, and extrapolated family connections.

Internet Genealogy Magazine Reviews WorldVitalRecords.com
We simply couldn't have said it better ourselves! The most recent issue of Internet Genealogy magazine includes a 4-page article by Diane L. Richard detailing the incredible growth and benefits of an online subscription to the worldvitalrecords.com content collection. Here are a few quotes:
"UK BMD and Census Records. The addition of these records helps make the World Collection comparable to Ancestry's World Collection."
"Each subscription service on its own was just a bit too narrow for my limited needs, or had enough overlap with other databases that I currently subscribe to, to make it hard to justify individual subscriptions. That is now a moot point as I can 'one-stop-shop' at WorldVitalRecords.com"
