[or-roots] Marriage Certificate Vs Return of Marriage

She did leave her husband Asa M White as well for another man. I've looked 
for a Divorce certificate but didn't find one. She moved to Washington for a 
little while and hand another Daughter Bernice G. in the 1930 Census she was 
in Coos County, North Bend Oregon. They list her has being Married to 
William H Palmer. But from what a geneological source for the Asa White's 
side of the family says they never did divorce. I have done searches on both 
last names. The only reason I came across Lawalta in the 1910 Census is they 
had a Mary Lauretta Knowles listed as age 6. I looked at the image and it 
isn't Mary Lauretta, but Mary Lawalta Step-Daughter to Henry A Whaite in 
Kennewick Washington. So sometime inbetween 1910 and 1920 She started using 
her middle name.  I also traced her mother and step-father down to 
California in 1930 where her step-father passed later on. But I still can 
not find a trace of Lawalta aka Mary. I have found alot of Mary White's very 
common name, but it's hard to narrow it down. I just continue searching 
hoping I run into something I missed.

Some where there was a rumor that Lawalta might have had Mental problems 
since she did leave her 3 year old daughter and run off with another man. 
Does anyone know where I might be able to get indexes of asylums? It is a 
possibility to look into.

Think I'll upload my gedcom file, hopefully that'll help

I have to thank everyone again for all the help and ideas you are giving me. 
It is very generous and a blessing when you've been banging your head 
against the walls trying to figure things out! =)

Thanks
Carisa
