Find Marriage Records

The internet is seeing many services like this arise, and with the ease of access to such information (practically anyone can get these records) - privacy concerns are becoming more of an issue. There are obviously benefits to these types of services, but they also allow for people to gain information about you and your past that maybe you did not wish to reveal. People can also use this inforamtion to stalk, harras, threaten, or blackmail you. Although what they would be doing is wrong, the victim would still suffer. Thoughts?
