Marriage Indices
Please
read before
using these indices The Pre-1907
Vital Records Indices are
a compilation of births, marriages and deaths that occurred prior to 01
October 1907. Before that date, it was not
mandatory that these events be recorded or reported to the state
or county officials. Therefore, because this law did not come
into
effect until 01 October 1907, many of the vital records events (births,
marriages and deaths) were never properly recorded. If you do not
find a name within these indices on these pages, it probably was
because
of
this fact. The indices within these pages are typed exactly as
the county has recorded them. No
attempt has been (nor will be)
made
to change history by making known corrections in spelling or dates.
Several of the records have either question marks (?) or a notation
that
reads "(unknown)". These records were either unreadable or not
fully
reported at the time of recording. Please keep this in mind when
using the indices within
these
pages.
Please note that I do not have access to the actual records. If you would like to obtain a record of a person listed here, it is suggested that you print out and fill in a request form and mail it along with the appropriate fee. These forms are available in either PDF or Word format. Effective as of 27 Oct 2007, marriage records are now $20.00 ($3.00 extra is charged for each additional copy of the same record when ordered at the same time), in the form of a check or money order, to the Washburn Co. Register of Deeds Office. The address for the Washburn Co. ROD office is: P O Box 607 Shell Lake WI 54871 Now that you know more about these indices and how to order the records obtainable through these indices, take a look to see what you can find: LOOKUP OFFER: Contact a helper at here for additional marriage index* lookups for the years 1917 through 2001. * This is index ONLY data (containing names, dates, volume and page numbers). |
