Marriage licenses are great sources of family history information. They usually show ages, parents, witnesses and in some cases where the bride, groom, and parents were born and their occupations. Death certificates are also useful. They show death dates, birth dates, parents, who reported the death, but also often contain other key information like place of residence and much more in depth family history information like causes of death
When investigating your family history try wider sources and records such as divorce, medical, immigration adoptions, land title, school attendance, biography from local history books, wills and obituaries
