The office also has copies of marriage certificates, if the original application was filled out in the Town of Southeast. It does not matter where you were married, only where the application was filed.  Please note that marriage certificates are only available to the persons listed on the certificate.  After 50 years, a marriage certificate is available for genealogical purposes and only if the parties are deceased.
