My Great Uncle was Raymond Clyde Kinsey. There is a WWII registration card from 1942 that shows him married to Mrs Ida M. Kinsey in Amizy Ark. It would appear to me he married Ida before they went to California. Or perhaps after her previous husband died in Calf, she may have returned to Arkansas.

Because of the system used in Europe to divide an estate, land ownership was of prime importance from the very first settlement on the continent. Land grants were the big incentive to risk life and limb to cross the ocean. Because these records were more apt to survive, along with the tax records, land records are sometime the only way we can trace our ancestors. The courthouse is also keeper of birth, marriage and death records. When a person died, it provided for the recording of the person's will, which in turn contained the names of the heirs; the property the deceased owned - both land and household possessions, where the land was located and who was to receive it. Witnesses to the will may have been relatives or neighbors. Those are the most obvious of the courthouse records, but that's not all. It is rich in genealogy, if you know where to find it.
