Hi, Quite a while ago I found out there is an announcement about the divorce of my great-great-grandparents, Heinrich and Sophie Janicke, in the San Jose newspaper, I think in 1894. Unfortunately, something called me away from the computer suddenly, and before I had a chance to look for it again, I completely forgot where I had been looking. Weak-brained I know. But can someone tell me a good website to look this info up? Thanks a million. Marybeth Michaels
Hi Marybeth, I found the item on GenealogyBank.com: San Jose Mercury News July 11, 1890 Court Notes Sophie Janicke has brought action for divorce from Henry Janicke on the ground of extreme cruelty. She asks that the community property be awarded her, that he be compelled to pay the expenses of the suit together with counsel fees an a reasonable alimony. Archer & Bowden represent the plaintiff. Also: San Jose Mercury News September 17, 1890 Divorces Granted Sophie Janicke has been granted a dvroce from her husband, Henry Janicke, by Judge Spencer on the ground of extreme cruelty. Hope this helps, Anita C.
