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.
