Clayton co IAGenWeb - marriage records

Important notes!
-Browse all of the records & be creative with surname spellings
-In some cases the names appearing in the Book I Index will be 'different' than they appear in the marriage record; the handwriting on the original record being just as difficult to read by the indexing clerk as it is for transcribers today! It remains the responsibility of the researcher to determine which entry is 'correct'.
-These records appear in the same order as in the original Book 1, they are not chronological or alphabetized
-Some pages in Book I have a column for "Place Where Married" which has been omitted in this transcription since all indicate Clayton county.
