Moldova Marriage Records Index

In Moldova, marriage documents are essential for both historical research and genealogy, reflecting the country's complex history and shifting borders. Historically, marriage records were maintained in church registers, dating back to the 18th century. After the region became part of the Russian Empire in the early 19th century, civil registration was introduced. Following World War II, Moldova became part of the Soviet Union, which led to the establishment of centralized state records. After Moldova gained independence in 1991, civil marriage certificates became the primary official documents. These records are crucial for genealogists, providing valuable insights into familial connections, social structures, and the impact of border changes on the people of Moldova, especially considering the fluctuating ties with Romania and Ukraine.
