Birth Records - 1867 - 1907

To assist in the location of records, three files are offered in this series. One file (this one) lists the registered births in alphabetical order by the child's surname, one file lists the birth records in numerical order, and one file lists the birth mothers in alphabetical order with a reference to the numerical order file. The reference to Places is generally a town or city within Geauga County.

Marriages

LICENSE APPLICATIONS: 1823 - 1865

There are seven books (at the Probate Court) covering these years. If there was a book before 1823, it has been lost. It appears that anyone could pick up a license for a relative, friend, or neighbor. 'Are you going to Chardon today? Will you pick up a license for me? Julia and I want to get married.'

The information is limited, but some of the records give an age. The township of residence for the bride is also given, although it is not written on the bride's line. If only one township is named, it usually means that both parties were from the same place. This information does not appear on the marriage record itself until just before the turn of the century. Occasionally, if the party was under age, the parent's name might appear.

MARRIAGE RECORDS: 1806-1919

After 1899, the information is more complete. Beginning in 1920, the records are indexed by both male and female. Before 1920, they were indexed by male only. The original records are found at the probate court.

Remember that before 1840, the marriages included townships in Lake County.

Volunteers have entered the information for a total of 20,733 entries in both the bride index and the bride index. Remember that this is only an index. It is imperative that the original record be viewed. The volunteers did their best in transcribing, but there are bound to be errors. Please notify us of any discrepancy noted.
