Delving Into Divorce: Finding Family Details in the Civil Court Docket
Monday, October 28
Delving Into Divorce: Finding Family Details in the Civil Court Docket  (Monthly CTGS Meetings)
6:00 pm to 7:00 pm
More prevalent than most realize, early divorce records shine a light on dark times in our ancestor's lives. Many marriages ending in divorce were short-lived, lasting on average about six to eight years.
Consequently, the case files may provide a critical source of information about a family that formed and dissolved between census years. While divorce is an unhappy event, the records left behind are a happy silver lining for researchers. In this lecture, Susan Ball shares information that may be found in divorce case files and where these records may be found.
