Family Records

Question: Can you assist me in finding my marriage license? I was married on a military post in Alaska in 1953.

Answer: These records are maintained by the Alaska Division of Vital Statistics. You can find information about how to request a search for a marriage certificate and/or a copy at http://dhss.alaska.gov/dph/VitalStats/Pages/marriage/default.aspx. You can email them at BVSResearch@health.state.ak.us with any questions. This web page also includes a link to information on obtaining military records.
