ABOUT
THIS DATA: Everyone has heard the tale of the 'Courthouse Fire',
no matter where they are researching, and Madison County, IN, is, unfortunately,
no different. All the divorce records existing before Dec. 10, 1880
were destroyed by various fires, but thanks to the efforts of Haroldyne Zook,
a compilation was made from the Madison County, IN newspapers that are on microfilm
in the area libraries. While all the records are probably not available,
the ones that could be found are listed to help researchers.
The
legal notices to which the page numbers refer may be viewed by visiting the
Indiana Room in the Anderson Public Library. You
may also e-mail, write or phone the Indiana Room and request information about
the articles, furnishing the Staff with the name, page and date and they will
oblige you with a look-up as soon as possible. Be advised that these
notices consist of small ads giving notice of the divorce filing, granting,
judgment or dismissal. There is no further information available,
except perhaps the name of the county clerk or the lawyer or other official
filing the case. The Staff at the Indiana Room will not be able to give
you any details about the divorces or children, etc. as none of this is listed.
