---------------------------------------
The Sidelight article illustrates a very complicated problem on one page. My thought was "I'm sure glad that I didn't have to sort that one out!" What an amazing document they found in the Civil War Pension Files that illustrates several cases of "marriage" without the convenience of divorce.
This issue had excellent articles that touched on different record types illustrating difficult research problems in several localities. It's no surprise that most articles are written by Certified Genealogists. Reading these articles provides excellent food for thought about my own research problems, and those of my colleagues.
