GENERAL INFORMATION:
- Always provide as specific information as possible
about the marriage event. Precise and accurate information
enables us to perform a thorough search and will result
in a greater likelihood of locating the certificate.
- Not all marriages were reported to the appropriate civil
office. This is most frequently the case with marriages
performed in Roman Catholic churches.
- Marriage records prior to 1866 for Manhattan are not
indexed. Please provide the month, day and year of marriage.
- Note that pre-1866 Manhattan marriages were recorded
in ledger book format; the following information was recorded:
date of marriage, groom's and bride's names, ages, nativities,
and residences and by whom marriage performed
- Please allow between four to six weeks to process a vital
record request
