Pennsylvania did not have a systematic registry of marriages before
1906. For marriages before that date, it is necessary to check
church records or compiled marriage records. Knowing the township
where your ancestor lived or their religious denomination will
help to narrow your search. To locate the specific church records,
use the Churches and Cemeteries in Lancaster County, LC
310.35 R579, 20 and the online catalog, 6. Fill
out a call slip and turn in at the reference desk.
The sources listed below are all
found on the Reading Room shelves.
