Message Board Post:
I have several marriages from Floyd. I do not have 1852 but I have seen the books and they
are all similiar but different in some time periods. Marriages just have the license date,
marriage date, minister and couple and some court verbage.
What couple are you researching I have quite a few families from floyd and could know
something if you give the basic names and such that you know.
Marriages rarely in any time or place have family information except in more modern times
they are witnesses sometimes but relationships are not usually stated.
Affadavits are where the family members say that the couple can marry but it is only for
those under age. In case of Floyd county all the afadavits and old probates were destroyed
in a flood.
Hope this helps.
Good hunting to you.
Pam
