Divorce records are difficult to obtain. Few states have digitized that information, even if you know what state AND county someone filed for divorce. Newspaper reports of a divorce are a source, but they aren't always published and even rarer they are digitized or microfilmed. Here is the divorce record for Orville Ilin Olson and Margaret (Chapman) Olson. This document is helpful as it does confirm the Olson's had 2 children as a result of their marriage. At this point the only information family have provided is that Margaret and Orville had two girls, one named Margaret and the name of her sister is unknown. As is common with genealogical research, this document does have an error. Orville's birthdate is correct, but his birthplace was Steward, Lee county, Illinois, not Minnesota. The date of the divorce is February 18, 1972 and was processed in Seattle, King county, Washington....
