Here's the website for the County Clerk: http://www.rockwallcountytexas.com/index.aspx?nid=108 you can email them and ask what you have to do to get the copies you want. I'd start with the divorce decree and work backwards. The 1930 census is the latest census available at Ancestry. The 1940 census won't be available until next year. Good hunting. If I find anything else, I will post it here for you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
