IRAD is cheap if you can find the
marriage record there and don't need the marriage certificate. Ten
cents each. Minimum is $1.00 so get 10 copies or copies of otherd or same certs.
For records 1829-1877 the records are sufficient because they only
have basic info on the certificate such as names, date, marriage
performed by, under age consents.
Certificates after 1877 contain all the information about
the bride and groom.
