How do you know what page to go to? I would like to look up my parents and also my aunts and uncles who were in Detroit at the time. I know the street for one uncle. I don't remember but would recognize the street for my parents. I don't have any of the old street numbers, but I think my cousin can tell me his parents' old address. Is it possible for me to use this directory? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My experience has been that the Wayne County Clerk does not have divorce records prior to the middle 1940's. I was told by a clerk last winter that they had sent all of these records to the State Archives in Lansing. At that time the State Archives could not verify this. The Archives does have divorce indexes on microfilm from 1897-1923 and 1924-1977. I located the index record for 1923 and took the date and certificate number to the Michigan Department of Community Health, Vital Records office and obtained a copy of the certificate of divorce. I have not been able to locate the divorce files from Wayne County Circuit Court. http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0,1607,7-132-4645---,00.html Good luck, Al Wakenhut www.GenealogyGenius.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 1:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MIWAYNE] Divorce index for 1932 through 1938 Hello, I am looking for a divorce index for the above years.

Try the Grosse Pointe News, courtesy of the Grosse Pointe Public Library. 1940 to the present is digitized. http://digitize.gp.lib.mi.us/digitize/newspapers/gpnews.htm Since Brys is the name of a street you will get a lot of hits if you search brys without a first name.

Thank you Al. I'll check with the State Archives. I do have another divorce file I would like to find but haven't had any luck with the City. Was told the film is in storage off site but they can't seem to get it other then to tell me the file number does not correspond withe the names in the computer and year. I have come fairly close to giving up with this one. So will try again. You just never know. Would you have a phone number call?
