Court records are not the only place to find divorces. Notices of divorces can be found in newspapers. The laws of the time required public notice in “a newspaper of general circulation.” In the early newspapers, they can be found almost anywhere. Our department has a divorce index based on newspaper accounts starting in 1822 and going through 1930.
