West Virginia Marriage Records, 1863-1900
(Update adding for Cabell, Wyoming, Wirt, and Taylor Counties)

At the height of the American Civil War, 50 northwestern Virginia counties
seceded from the Confederate States and were admitted into the Union as
West Virginia. This database is a collection of marriage records from
several of the counties between 1863 and 1900. This update to the data adds

counties. Taken from microfilm copies of original county documents, each
record provides spouses' names, marriage date, and county of residence.
