Germany, Hesse Marriage Index, 1849-1931

4,770,560 records

This collection includes marriage records from several communities that are within the state of today's Hesse Germany. Marriages were usually recorded where the bride lived. When the information is available a record will include the groom's given name and surname, age or birthdate, birthplace, residence, occupation, marriage date and information about the groom’s parents. A record will also include the bride's given name and surname or maiden name, age or birthdate, birthplace, residence, occupation and information about the bride’s parents.<br><br>Dated from October 1874, state appointed registrars of marriage records of all inhabitants of Prussia, which include many of the communities in this collection. Civil Registry records from Hessian communities that were not part of Prussia begin as early as January 1876. While churches continued to keep traditional records, the State also mandated that the personal or marital status of the entire population be recorded. These records were indexed and made searchable by MyHeritage.
