Apparently sometime between 1942 and 1972 my grandparents, James Henry Johnson and Minnie Eliza Jones Johnson got a divorce in either Shelby or Macon County in Illinois. Where would I look for a record to see if they actually got a divorce or just said that they did. On James Henry Johnson DC, 1972, that he was divorced; and on Minnie Eliza Johnson DC, 1978, it shows that she was divorced.

For divorces, you will usually need to contact the Clerk of Courts in the county where it occurred. In this case, you may need to write both counties.
