In 1987 the Hempstead County Clerk's office released to the Hempstead County Genealogical Society all the loose marriage certificates that were not picked up by the couple after marriage was recorded. This is not a list of all marriages in Hempstead County, just the loose marriage certificates. There are over 4,000 certificates and I will try to list them all over the next few weeks. Descendants seeking one of these certificates may write HEMPSTEAD COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY P.O. Box 1158 Hope, AR 71802-1158 or Sharon Goldman, HCGS Librarian 136 County Road 142 Hope, AR 71801 Please enclose $2.00 handling fee for each marriage, in a check made out to the society. If the original has already been claimed, a photocopy will be mailed.
