This data set contains alphabetical listings of over 570,000 individuals who
were married in Louisiana between 1718 and 1925. It's a great resource —
you'll find previously uncollected marriage records together in one place.
What you can find in this data set:
- Name of each spouse
- Marriage date and
location
- Parish where the
marriage was recorded
- Where to find
copies of your ancestor's original marriage record so that you can obtain
even more detailed family history information
Once you have the
details provided by the marriage index on this data set, you may be able
to contact the locality in which the marriage took place to request a
copy of the original marriage record. Original marriage records can often provide you with
more information, such as the names and birthplaces of the bride's and
groom's parents, addresses of the bride and groom, information about previous
marriages, and witnesses' names
