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.

Subject: [INMIAMI] Miami Co. divorce, 1883-1884
Hi -
I hope that someone can give me some advice. My ancestor was married in
Miami County in mid-1883, and married to her 2nd husband in Miami County
in mid-1884. After her second husband's death, she applied for a Civil War
widow's pension based on the second husband's service, and in her pension
application, indicated tht she had been divorced from her first husband.
I wrote to the Miami County Clerk's Office a number of years ago asking
about this divorce, and was told that one could not be found. However, I
spoke to some Peru folks since then who do genalogical research and told
me that divorce records from this time period likely are stored offsite
and are available to check by appointment only.
Can someone give me some specific advice about checking for this divorce
record, either myself, or by mail/email? Do I need to make an appointment?
Is the office where this record would be stored only open on certain days
of the week, etc.?
Thanks for any advice.
Dawne Slater-Putt
