* For those that have been frustrated in trying to find records of marriages in Europe this might shed some light why all marriages may not be listed in a civil registry office. Civil registration is important for genealogists because they are a primary source for names, dates, places. In many European countries Jewish records were originally included with the Church records until the specific country required separate registers for Jewish records.

The Council of Europe—which is comprised of 47 countries concur on marriage criteria concerning age, consent and kinship. The combined population of the 47 countries is about 820 million people. In Europe, religious and civil marriages are recognized differently. For countries where there is an established "state " religion, the civil register maybe signed as part of the religious ceremony, but there are countries where there is "tension" between the civil and religious entities. In France a civil marriage must be preceded by a civil marriage-since the days of Napoleonic Code and Separation Law. They are not the only country with such requirements. In some European countries, historically, if someone did not get a civil marriage but only a religious marriage, their children may have been considered illegitimate. After the fall of Communism In Poland a "concordat marriage" was introduced with a treaty with the Vatican requiring the marrying couple to obtain a "no-impediment" notice from the state registry office and the priest is required to complete and return within 5 days of the marriage. To read more about marriages and the religious aspects for different European countries see: https://www.ncronline.org/news/world/european-countries-distinguish-between-religious-civil-marriages

In Russia religious marriages have had no legal or civil status. "The Department of Registration of Civil Statuses, commonly referred to as ZAGS, began in December of 1917 under the decree that abolished the church order of marriage registration and handed the responsibility over to the civil authorities. In addition to marriages, ZAGS also registered births, deaths, divorces, changes of name and other "civil statuses." For those who chose to marry in a religious ceremony it has to occur in addition to the ZAGS registration. In a ZAGS registration ceremony people still exchange rings, sign a registry and are officially pronounced man and wife. To read more about the ZAGS ceremony and traditions see:

TASS, the Russian News Agency reports that the deputy of the State Duma (lower house of Parliament) is drafting amendments to the Family Code which would give religious weddings a legal status equal with that of civilian marriages of rights and civilian duties.
