They divorced in 1910. The website (Alachua County) is really a great site. I emailed them asking if they had a record and they answered back with a yes and the amount of money needed to have the papers copied and sent to me. It was court archives. If the site of the county you are interested in doesn't have a lot of information on it, write a letter (enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope) and you might get a good reply. Some times it can take a long time to get an answer as some places are really swamped. Good luck, Toni in Michigan ]Juanita wrote: > X-Message: #4 > Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 20:28:09 -0500 > From: "juanita" > Subject: Re: [ROOTS-L] Re: WWI records > > Thanks so much, Sharon, for checking this for me.
