Marriages--Virginia Before 1824
Description: The Virginia marriage records are divided into two
classes-those contained in the parish registers, and the marriage bonds
or intentions, which were filed with the county clerk. This database,
of over 9,000 names, treats principally with the latter class of
records. The marriage records are printed under their individual
counties, and each entry includes the names of the individuals, and
the date of marriage.

Marriages--Virginia to 1800
Description: This database of Virginia marriages to 1800 contains over
85,000 names. Each entry includes groom, bride, marriage date, county,
and state. Every name is indexed so you can search for one name, or two
names that are linked.
The marriage date is usually the date of marriage as given in the
original entry. However, when no marriage date is given (e.g., the
"marriage return" was not provided to the record keeper), the date of
the license is used. In a few cases, a marriage will be listed twice,
but in two different counties. This most often happened when a couple
obtained a license in one county, but were actually married in another.
These marriage records, compiled by Liahona Research at the LDS Family
History Library in Salt Lake City, UT, unfortunately do not contain
citations for the origin of each entry. The purpose of this database is
to provide a time and place for as many marriages as possible. It is up
to the researcher to examine original records (see the Family History
Library Catalog--available at any LDS family history center-- under the
heading "Vital Records" for the appropriate locality) and gather
whatever additional genealogical information is desired. Bibliography: Dodd, Jordan R, et. al. Early American Marriages:
