Marriage Records Primer
Kenton County has two locations for the recording of marriages, Covington and Independence. Independence started recording marriages in 1840 and Covington in 1874. Many of the early Independence records are now housed in Covington (see the table below); others are in the Kentucky archives in Frankfort, particularly the "loose papers".
Below you will find the Marriage records on the Kenton site. Those that have been transcribed have links to the transcriptions. Generally the transcriptions contain only the names and date. The image files contain more data such as birthplace etc.
