As I mentioned in my post #1179, I was following along on the Plains Radio Chat room as they were discussing receiving the records and posting them - as it was happening. Ed Hale’s wife, Caren, was explaining that four pages would not be posted because of sensitive information that minors should not see.
I work in a courthouse clerks office, particularly with older records. I do a good deal of genealogy work. I am not a genealogist, but I’ve learned a lot. I have seen my share of divorce testimony and, as anybody knows, that testimony can be brutal. There is testimony about physical and verbal abuse, vulgar language, etc. I’ve seen stuff that would turn your stomach. Perhaps they felt the information therein was very sensitive in that way. But that information also gives places where stuff happened. The information in the testimony section has helped many a family historian make connections and fill in the gaps. It shouldn’t be a surprise that you can find a lot of information there. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found something pretty significant.
Still, I will reserve judgement. And Plains Radio always repeats their programs. I’m hoping to hear it myself if it’s posted today since I couldn’t be home to listen last night.
Ok. Thanks for the explanation/info. I’ll be tuning in as well.
