It did not provide much information on the 3 pieces of paper.At least I was able to get that record and now have an actually date of their divorce,Oct 27,1967 in wayne county Michigan. My search will continue and look forward to finding her.In the divorce record it did state that the court found my grandfather gulity of cruelty towards her,so that would explain why the way things happened, and just another side of the story I did not know of.Never met either of them so my judgement shall not be in a negative way.Any information on what I could possibly do know,would be helpful. I am really searching for a birthdate on Helen but that is very limited.I did a search at my local county building for a marriage licenses but after 10 mins of searching they say no record.But,went to another floor in the building and got the divorce record.Possibly,they married out the county they were divorced in.Or even possibly got married in another state.Thanks.....
