Divorce is not just a 20th Century phenomenon. At first, granted by
the State Legislature and then by the Courts, these are public
records. The case files can include marriage date and place, names
and ages of children, current and former residences, and affidavits
by the spouses about their marriage and reason for divorce. Clues
are in the Census, City Directories, Military Pensions, County
Histories, County Courthouses & especially in Newspapers. This
could be the reason for a "lost spouse".
