Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

Microfilmed marriage registrations and associated indexes from the La Crosse County Register of Deeds office, 1851-1907, filed with the State of Wisconsin. Also included are parts of the following Wisconsin counties: Kenosha, Kewaunee, Lafayette, and Langlade, variously from 1847-1907.

Generally recorded for each marriage are the individuals' names and birthplaces, the names of the parents of each party, the occupation and residence of the groom, the date and place of the marriage, the type of ceremony (usually denominational), the names of witnesses, the name and residence of the person performing the marriage, the date of the certificate or affidavit, the date of registration, and any remarks.

While the collection does include a name index by groom, it is more helpful to refer to the FamilySearch online database which includes the item number as well as the marriage registration number, or the Wisconsin Genealogy Index of the Wisconsin Historical Society which also includes the marriage registration number.
