Thanks so much!!! I had a difficult time even trying to reply, as I had to change my Ancestry account options. Anyway, Harold C. Ekdahl was married to my mother on 20 October 1962 in Joliet, Illinois/Will County. I have their marraige papers, but find no reference as to when/where her last marraige was dissolved. County Clerk is no help, I just get the run around that records starting in 1962 are at State offices but will not offer any other help. This year I found the record of Harold's death, October 1992 in Joliet, along with some other records. In your experience, is it always this difficult to locate marraige records.....no living family to consult. Judy
