How do I find marriage records from the 1800's for genealogy purposes?

answers1: If you're the same one who asked about death records from
Virginia, "from the 1800's for genealogy purposes", almost all of my
links would work; familysearch, US Gen Web, Library of Virginia.
Find-a-Grave is the exception; less than 5% of the find-a-grave
entries mention a marriage date and place. <br>
<br>
There isn't a comprehensive site. <br>
<br>
One tip, if you're new - if the woman married after age 30, look for a
first marriage. That is, Mary Smith, age 30, marries Ralph McCorkle in
1890. Look for a lady named Mary marrying someone named Smith in 1874
- 1880 in the same area.
answers2: Try Familysearch.org
answers3: The Morons don't bother so much with marriage records.
answers4: No way are all records online. You should write the county
clerks of the various counties in which they lived. Also check with
the churches to which they belong.
answers5: Not all records are available online. Look in town archives,
newspapers, church records. You could look in the family Bible. It's
also possible that it may have been a common law marriage, where a
couple lives together and presents themselves as a married couple but
never actually go through with a formal ceremony. If that is the case,
there wouldn't be a marriage record such a marriage certificate,
except for journal entries.
answers6: You need to work out which country, where in that country
and look at parish records MOST records are not online......... so
records office, National archives or the church itself
