If your relative indicated they were divorced, make certain that you have searched for: Records of all local courts that may have heard a divorce case. Look for a separate maintenance case as well–there might have been no legal divorce, just a separation. Look for land records on the couple for any property they owned. Look for any property settlements (even of personal or chattel property) in the local land records. Consider the fact that the couple was not legally divorced.
