Marriage Records by County
The State Archives has marriage records for most counties. The list below indicates the types of marriage records we have for each county. The actual record format and the information found on the records may vary between counties and by year. The  samples below are generally representative of the marriage records found at the Colorado State Archives. It should be noted that most of these marriage records do not have the parents' names on them. 

We will respond to mail and phone requests; but suggest that if you have extensive research to do, that you come to our facility whenever possible. We have search, handling, and copy fees. Please contact us in order to find out the charges for your request.

Address all inquiries to the Colorado State Archives.
