NEW -
New Marriage Book
The latest publication of the Licking County Genealogical Society has additional information for the family history researcher.
Beginning in 1899 Licking County Marriage Records included more than the names of the groom and bride and their marriage date.
The marriage application asked for age, birth location, occupation, residence, and names of parents.
“This is a gold mind for the genealogist,” according to Ella Mae Bard, Publications Chairman for the local Society.
Licking County Marriages Book (7) Seven (1 January 1899 to 23 October 1901) is now available from the Licking County Genealogical Society.
The book may be ordered by mail or purchased at the Genealogical Library on the second floor of the Newark Public Library.
For an order blank -
click here and complete list of publications click here.
The 190-page Marriage Book Seven is priced at $12.50 plus $3.50 shipping and applicable Sales Tax for Ohio residents.
Volunteer Connie Richardson logged more than 2100 hours transcribing the Licking County Records. The original books are in the archives of the Society.
She begins by making a machine copy each marriage record then creates a computer data base for the marriages.
She meticulously verifies each line and researches questions.
For example, when the hand writing is not clear, Connie checked other sources in the library to confirm the spelling of a name.
