True, this is an index only, not the marriage record
documents themselves.
The original image of the index is at Ancestry, and was not
created by
Ancestry. The index was created by the State of Nevada and
Clark County.
Rich is correct, Ancestry is NOT the originator of the
index, it is the
repository.

Rich,
Sorry, I disagree.
Whilst I agree that it is unlikely, it is just possible
that Ancestry.com
has changed the record created by Nevada.
The source, at this juncture, has to be what has been
viewed -
Ancestry.com - with mention of the sources they say they
are relying on,
until such time as the 'original' source is
personally checked.
Isn't Genealogy fun!!

I disagree. Ancestry.com is not the originator of the
database, Nevada is
that. Ancestor owns the photocopies and/or transcriptions
that it created
from the data. It charges for access to that file. But you
can go to Nevada
and make your own copies (plane fare and hotel room not
included). Use the
example for US census records, changing the obvious
differences.
