Good Day To All, Divorce Records: Well, I never knew until about a year before my Mother passed away that, my Grandfather was married prior to my Grandmother.........Mother did not know her name - she was never told........so one day while at the courthouse looking for old marriages I found my Grandfathers marriage to his first wife......I was wanted to know more.........they were only married for five years........ So, I nect went into the divorce records....since I knew when Grandad married his first wife and then when married Grandma I had an idea of the year...........I was happy I did ....In the Divorce records my Grandfather had three children...Wilber...Helen and David (Weaver) in which to this day I never found.....Mother stated she had "heard" things between conversations of her parents but never knew her siblings...... My WISH is one day to find their families....not to cause problems but to see if they had good lives ! Divorce records can explain alot.........I am VERY happy I found my Grandfathers..........
