== Divorce Records  ==
[http://www.countyregistry.org/divorce-records/iowa/ Iowa divorce records] have been kept since about 1834, when the first [[Iowa, United States Genealogy|Iowa]] county was formed. They may provide: a person’s age, the divorce date, maiden name of wife, marriage date and place, occupation, childrens’ names, names of other family members, and places the family lived. Early divorce proceedings are in the district court of each county, and beginning in 1906, transcribed copies of divorce records were sent to the state.

*Prior to 1906 (a few counties)
