You give good information but you need to search the free databases, and then start the search from the last place you knew him to be.

Do you have an approximate age? You at least need to calculate that. Was he born in the U.S.? Family Tree Legends has a great free search for California natives at http://www.familytreelegends.com/records/calbirths and there are others like http://www.birthdatabase.com/ that may help to identify a birth date.

California is a difficult area to search divorce records because the State court system isn’t unified and only certain courts have public information. Databases can and are incomplete and often outdated. Search in the county you believe he may have last lived and check with the county courts there first.

You should also search this blog because Tamara is an expert and probably has some good information for you.

looking for information on my divorce parents.

Joseph Reine Duarte (father)

Gayle Ann Odell (Mother)

Divorce year is 1965 - 1970.

It is my understanding that the divorce was in california, other wise it would have been oakland county, Michigan.

I was raised by my mother, and all information about my father has been kept a close secret.

Looks like they were divorced May 1971 in county no. 30, and July of 1974 in county no. 4. Both entries say they were married in 1968.
