Various counties may also have maintained these records as separate series. Marriage certificates signify that the marriage occurred. The certificate was completed by the minister or judge and then given to the marrying couple. Marriage registers or minister's returns were filed after the marriage was performed by either the minister or judge who performed the ceremony. It was to be sent to the county clerk where the marriage was performed within twelve months after the marriage occurred.
