The information in this list was extracted from two sources:
	1.  Notes on original marriage licenses filed with the Mineral County Clerk's office.
	2.  Mineral County Court Decree of Divorce book.

Each record of divorce contains varying pieces of information.  Every attempt has been made
to provide the pieces which will most likely aid the researcher.  It is uncertain as to
whether the surnames of females listed in the pre-1905 records are maiden names or inherited
names from their first marriage.  It also can not be ascertained if the pre-1905 names are
the plaintiffs or defendants.
  
Although great care was taken with the spellings of names, we accept no responsibility 
for accidential omissions or misspellings.
