Wisconsin Marriage Records
To begin, add a marriage record or view a list of locations and resources for Wisconsin marriage records.
Anyone who has tried to build a family tree without knowing essential dates like when a couple was married has probably run into trouble. Information like this is important, and luckily, it is considered public record. A public record certifies that a major event occurred in a specific time and place to a specific person, and records such as this can be accessed by any interested individual. If you need to access a marriage license in Wisconsin, however, there are a few important things to know.?
Like all states, Wisconsin started to require its counties to register marriages at a specific point in history, but what is unusual is that, prior to this date, about half of all marriages were recorded voluntarily. Therefore, even if the couple you want to find out more about was wed before 1907, there is still a good chance that you can find what you need.
Another nice thing about Wisconsin marriage licenses is that you can even access recent records which are not publicly available in all states. Although records after 1968 are kept separate, you can still request assistance from a staff member if you need to access them.? Once you know where to look, Wisconsin vital records aren't hard to find.
