Slaves.... ....were not permitted to marry according to civil ordinance prior to emancipation; T. Newton Kurtz published a document of marriage for former slaves. The below certificate was issued in 1863. Freedmen's Bureau's marriage records are arguably some of the most important records available for the study of black family marital
relations before and after the Civil War. For the increasing number of African American genealogists and family historians, this unique body of marriage records may hold the only formal proof of a slave ancestor's marriage. Slave marriages had neither legal standing nor protection from the abuses and restrictions imposed on them by slaveowners. Slave husbands and
wives, without legal recourse, could be separated or sold at their master's will. Couples who resided on different plantations were allowed to visit only with the consent of their owners. Slaves often married without the benefit of clergy, and as historian John Blassingame states, "the marriage ceremony in most cases consisted of the slaves simply getting the master's
permission and moving into a cabin together." Reproductions of the Old Originals Tradition is being honored
today for family members, brides and grooms all over the country. Reproductions of these beautiful certificates are being used during ceremonies today
or proudly displayed on easels for all to see. These heirlooms can be passed on to the next generation. Wedding, birth, baptism or other family celebrations---obtain your own reproduction as a reminder of days gone by and set forth a good system of recordkeeping for your family heritage!
