In El Salvador, marriage records are an important part of the country's historical and genealogical landscape. Historically, the Catholic Church was central to marriage ceremonies, and religious marriage records were the primary source of documentation. However, with the introduction of civil registration in 1859, the government began issuing official civil marriage certificates, providing legal recognition. Today, genealogists can access both church records and civil registration documents, which are essential for tracing family lines. These records typically include vital details such as the names of the spouses, their ages, and parental information. For researchers exploring Salvadoran ancestry, marriage records are invaluable in constructing family trees and uncovering historical familial ties.
