[TI] Allegati Questions

[Laura Johnson]

John

It appears that they are created for every marriage although I have 
found a few that were evidently missed when the LDS filmed them.
No index at all.  They are usually preceeded by a cover page.  Some of 
the cover pages will tell you the year of the marriage and/or have a 
number on it that corresponds to the marriage document in the marriage 
films BUT NOT ALL DO.  Nor are they always in number order.  They may be 
totally out of order
I872 was on that film.  I ordered it to obtain a marriage document for 
someone in my tree a while back.  I do not presently have the film in St 
Louis nor do I have digital images of it yet.

Yes, there are birth and death allegati records as well - again - some 
births and deaths DID NOT have allegati records for them and I have 
found a few for documents that were missing from the original birth 
documents that have helped fill in the gaps.  Some of them have already 
been transcribed into the database for the earlier years.  I have found 
some documents.

The allegati records were the proof that the couple were eligible to be 
married.  They contained the births documents of the couple (or 
baptismal if the person was born before the civil records started in 
1820), deaths of previous spouses, deaths of parents and of the 
grandfathers, marriage banns, marriage contracts, residency statements, 
marriage banns from other towns (if the bride or groom were from 
somewhere else).
