I'm am trying to secure information on my father Robert N. Morgan DOB 11-18-1903. He was married 3 times. I don't know the name of the first wife. Second was May Weitzel, third Louella Weitzel. I've obtained the marriage records for he and Louella but the court says they don't show any others. Robert was a truck driver for Cleveland Transfer for many years. I believe they are no longer in existance. I'm in the process of trying to find divorce records from the court for the first wife and May. His parents were George and Margaret Connick. He was born in Ashtabula. It is my understanding that with his first wife he had children that would be my brothers and sisters. I would love to be able to trace to them.
