Elizabeth has a question about turn of the century divorces: “I have found a handful of couples that around the turn of the century that had separated or divorced, but one or both of the people told the census taker they were "widowed". Until I realized this was happening I simply took the "widowed" at face value and moved on. Are there resources you might suggest for finding divorce information around the turn of the last century?” Marriage and Divorce, 1867-1906 Volume I by the Department of Commerce and Labor Bureau of the Census from 1909. This is an incredibly comprehensive book covering marriage and divorce statstics for not only the U.S. but around the world. On page 50 the report comes right out and states: “It should be remembered, however, that in th eUnit3ed States the number of divorced persons reported by the general census of population is grossly deficient, because many persons who are divorced, being sensitive in regard to the fact, report themselves as single or widowed.” Search “Divorce” in the Family Search Wki GEM: The Photo Detective at WDYTYA in London Interview with Maureen and some of the folks waiting in line Websites mentioned in this episode: http://www.maureentaylor.com/ http://www.whatsthatpicture.com Photos through the Ages using http://www.flickr.com) free signup Lisa’s upcoming appearances: The Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree June 9-11, 2011 teaching classes and presenting the Genealogy Gems Podcast Live! http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/2011jam-home.htm The Colorado Family History Expo June 24 & 25, 2011.
