The marriage certificate that I have is about a quarter of a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper and is a form with the blanks hand written in. I will certainly use your advice about requesting the index and the marriage record. I was not aware of the index so your advice is great.<br />

You want copies or transcripts (if they cannot be copied) of Both. The index (depending on the county) will contain different information from what is on the marriage record.

hi Mary-<br />
<br />
Have you researched Iowa's marriage records/applications? I would assume each state is different in the format they use and what year they started keeping marriage records?
