Somehow this wound up as a draft and was never sent....
Thanks! The divorces I am looking for are Lucy Ellen Hurtt and Abel L.
Hurtt.

Laura:
I don't know how close you are to Peru, but I'm not far (less than 2
hours). If we get the "how," I'd be glad to check for yours when I look
for mine. I just don't want to take off work and drive over there on a
Monday, only to find out that you can only access those records on
Wednesdays, or something!
If no one on this list knows the answer, I'll try making some phone calls.

I also have a couple of divorces I would like to find about this time
period
in Miami county. I've never seen divorces on the Miami County web site,
in
fact, few counties seem to ever display them due to perhaps difficulty to
obtain or time to input needed for other records.
