Hendricks County Marriage Applications Index 1910-1912 Added
An index to Hendricks County Marriage Applications Book 4 (which covers 22 December 1910 to 14 December 1912) has been added to the Hendricks County GenWeb site. The index is in progress - so far it covers 1905 through 1912.
ABOUT THESE RECORDS: Beginning in May 1905, Indiana law required the recording of marriage applications, which included biographical details about the bride and the groom, as well as their parents. In Hendricks County, the information from these applications was kept in a separate set of books from the marriage record until June 1950.
The Hendricks County Government's Archive has digital files of all of the marriage application books.
