Marriage Applications

To be distributed by the Rains County Genealogical Society

In January 2002 original records were discovered on the 3rd floor of the Rains County courthouse during renovation. The
State of Texas granted the request to "dispose" of the records by giving them to the Rains County Genealogical Society.
Requests for original marriage licenses and/or for original "permission to marry" forms are being accepted from descendants
of the persons listed on the documents. Requests from living persons listed on the documents are also welcome.
