Divorce Record

Divorce Record

How do I order divorce records that are displayed on an index in Ancestry.com, but not available through their ordering process? I need a copy of a California divorce record and in my research I have found out that I need to contact the county where the divorce was filed. I don't know how to find out which county that was, though. I have attached a sample of the California Divorce Index in the hopes that you can help me decipher this information. Is the Co column where the county is listed? How do you determine which county is represented by a specific number? Please let me know. Thank you.

The county is indicated by a code number under the "CO" column. You can find a list of number codes for California counties at http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/FAQ/CA_Codes_Table.html

In the sample image you linked, the underlined names George Kozlowski and Tommie Wells show that the county code for their record is 19, which is Los Angeles County. Note there is a separate code for the CITY of Los Angeles (which is also true for San Francisco, San Diego, and Alameda cities.)
