Hello All, Since I haven't yet managed to work around the 100-year embargo on access to my people's 1923 divorce records, I'm searching newspaper notices in the Brooklyn newspapers. Back in 2001, a lister copied to the list such a Bklyn Standard Union 1922 notice. That's what gave me the idea. That notice was published 6 Oct 1922, it said the petition for dissolution was to be presented to the court on 29 Nov 1922, and the phrase "Dated, New York September 29th, 1922" appeared at the end, just before the attorney's name and address. At fultonhistory.com I've browsed several issues of the 1923 Bklyn Daily Eagle, and I've learned that divorce notices do not seem to be in a similar place in every issue. Rather (and this makes sense), these and some other notices seem to be inserted wherever the editor had space to fill. To speed up my search, I need ways to pinpoint more precisely the publication dates to focus on. For my people's divorce, according to a certification from the King's Co. Clerk: * On 19 June 1923 the interlocutory decree of divorce was filed in the King's Co. Clerk's Office. * On 28 Sept 1923 the final decree of divorce was filed in that office. Here are my questions: 1. In a divorce process of that era, what kinds of notices about events, prior to or after the final decree, were published in newspapers, either by mandate or by custom? 2. Were there specific deadlines by which such notices had to be published? For the Standard Union notice, the notice was dated 6 days(29 Sept) before the publication date (6 Oct), and publication was 54 days before presentation of the petition to the court (29 Nov). Therefore the attorney dated the notice two months before the court proceeding. I don't know whether a notice of the final decision was published. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions. Pat
