Records</DIV>

<DIV>There are two divorces in question in Lane County. The first one
was between my Great Uncle and his first wife. Apparently he married her
five days prior to her 16 birthday and left her a year later to join the US
Navy. He was 17 years older than this wife at the time of their
marriage. She filed and according to court documents that I have she had
to publish the divorce in the local newspaper. The mystery is why did
they marry and why did he leave her. This question I may never no the answer
to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second divorce is different. It has to do with my Great
Grandfather and his second wife. She also filed and I have the 20 plus
pages from the court records. But again I did not see any response from
him.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was hoping to get some leads from this wonderful body of knowledge and
that I did. Some of the questions raised I did not think at the time to
ask. When I go back to Lane County later on this summer I will be better
prepared.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I thank all those who have responded.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

final decree? It could be that the divorce was not contested and that
is why there isn't an "Answer" from the defendent. Or it could be that
the divorce was never finalized? The other thought is that the person
did not know where the other person was. If that is the case, the divorce
filing would have had to have been published as a "Legal" in the newspaper
as a way of announcing to the defendent about the proceedings.

[or-roots] Divorce Records<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Recently I was going through the Lane County Court House records
looking for divorce records. I found some information but
in both cases all I found was one side of the divorce story. The
person requesting the divorce side. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Q-1) How do I find the other side of the divorce story?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Q-2) What happens to lawyer's records when they die? </DIV>
