MARRIAGE PROTOCOLS

IN THE

COUNTY OF SCHLUECHTERN

1718-1873

In the 18th and 19th centuries, when a couple in this area decided to get married, they had to report to a judicial office to register their intent and to get government approval before they could get married by their church official, whether Lutheran, Reformed, Catholic or Jewish. After approval, the marriage usually took place within 2 to 4 weeks in the church of either the bride or groom.

I have extracted the genealogically valuable information from about 10,000 marriage protocols in the old county of Schluechtern, Germany, between 1718 to 1873, from the microfilmed records of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Some of the protocols also include marriage contracts. You can order these microfilms yourself for viewing at your local Family History Center for a nominal fee (about $6.00 per microfilm for a 3 week loan at this writing). If you can read the old German handwriting, you will be pleased at the interesting information you can get about your ancestors. If not, it can be a very frustrating experience to have the information at hand but not be able to decipher it.

In my extraction, I copied the dates of the registrations, the names of the brides and grooms, their ages or birth dates (when given), their parents' names, their villages of residence, and often the occupation and religion of the couple. I have listed these in tables in Microsoft Word. They are indexed chronologially and also alphabetically by grooms and by brides. If you would like a copy of these these indexes, send a request along with a money order for $30.00 to:
