Submissions to the SMI are welcomed. Information is entered via an online form. There is provision to accept information about the birth date, birth place and parents of bride and groom and whilst this is encouraged, if this information is not known, a marriage may still be submitted. However, an entry MUST include the full names of bride and groom and the date and place of the marriage for it to be accepted.
Submitters must also provide their name and email address so that the index manager can contact them in the event of an enquiry. Where permission is given, an email contact link will be shown when the marriage appears in a list of search results. We also welcome a postal address so that in the event of a change of email address we are still able to contact the submitter. Postal and email addresses will at no time be visible to those searching the index.
