>Checking North Carolina Vital Records I found divorce records go back to >1958 only. >What happened to them before 1958. Would they be in the Archives? Surely >someplace in NC has records of divorces before 1958. > Divorce records have been kept at the county level in NC since 1814, as part of the records of the Superior Courts in each county. Prior to 1814, and for some divorces between 1814 and 1835, they were recorded at the state level. The state archives in Raleigh has an index to these records. -- Elizabeth Harris ncgen@mindspring.com NCGenWeb project: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/ Winston-Salem NC area genealogy: http://www.fmoran.com/
