Where to go From Here:

Marriage records are great sources for genealogists because they document an individual in a particular place and time as well as provide details about that person's marriage. It is important that you use the information found in this database to locate your ancestor in the original records that this index references. Usually more information is available in the records themselves than is found in an index. For example, marriage records sometimes provide the birth dates and places of the bride and groom, their parents' names, their addresses, and witnesses' names, in addition to the information found in this index.

The Office of Vital Records and Statistics has marriage records after 1969. Prior to that date, marriage records are located in the county recorder’s office where the license was originally obtained.

Some of the above information was taken from: Nell Sachse Woodard and Dwight A. Radford, "Nevada," Red Book, ed. Alice Eichholz (Provo, Utah: Ancestry, 2004).
