Important notes!
-Browse all of the records &
be creative with surname spellings
-In some cases the names appearing in the Book I Index will be
'different' than they appear in the marriage record; the
handwriting on the original record being just as difficult to
read by the indexing clerk as it is for transcribers today! It
remains the responsibility of the researcher to determine which
entry is 'correct'.
-These records appear in the same order as in the original
Book 1, they are not chronological or alphabetized
-Some pages in Book I have a column for "Place Where
Married" which has been omitted in this transcription since
all indicate Clayton county.
