Lamar County Marriage Record Original Licenses -
1846-1984 - Searchable Records
Thank you, Lamar County Genealogical Society!!
When courthouses began recording marriage licenses,
it was the responsibility of the wedded couple to make
another trip to the courthouse to pick up the original
copy of their license after it was returned by the
minister or justice of the Peace for recording. Many
couples did not realize that they needed to do this or
were unable to return for whatever reason. This
resulted in many licenses being left at the courthouse.
Several years ago, these unclaimed original marriage
licenses were moved to the genealogy library. These are
available without charge as long as you will provide a
Family Group Sheet for the couple along with a SASE. To
find out if your ancestors did not claim their original
marriage license:
