Using Divorce Records in Your Search
Even in history, not every marriage lasted. Your relative may have had a divorce in his past. Finding genealogy information on that person through their divorce records may be helpful to you in your family tree research.
If you are sure your relative was divorced, try doing a search in the county the divorce took place. Look through the county's divorce records. You may find a lot of useful information for your genealogy research. You may find the date and place of the marriage, the name and ages of the children involved if they were minors at the time of the divorce, where the two lived after the marriage and the date of the divorce when it was granted.
Be prepared to find some great information if you are researching your ancestors divorces.
