Below are many Marriages that I have collected from the Montgomery County, N.C. Office of Register of Deeds.  I hope that these may help someone as they have helped me.  These are transcriptions and some of the copies are faint and hard to read.  I was not aware of how faint some were until I had returned home.  I will do my best in transcribing them but would appreciate if anyone might know of a correction, to please contact me.   Please remember that this is a work in progress and please check back often as I will be updating this page as time permits.  I have many, many marriage records. To contact me please send email to [email protected]
