a great find!

I was looking for Oklahoma records today and came across a post leading me to this website:
http://www.odcr.com

It has access to an index, basically, of court records in Oklahoma. It's a variety of courts, but I was able to find marriage records of ancestors and able to get an idea of who my Grandpa's aunts married. :)
Myrtle Lavarnway married Oscar Martin on 12/07/1924 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma
Ruby Lavarnway married Willie Chapman on 10/01/1928 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma
Ruth Lavarnway married James Brady on 05/06/1929 in Okfuskee, Oklahoma, then married Clyde McCoin on 12/23/1939 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma
Virgie Lavarnway married Roy McConnell on 11/18/1931 in Bristow, Creek, Oklahoma

I also discovered a marriage listed for Levi Turnbow that I was not aware of. Because I just see an index, I do not know for certain this is my great-great Grandfather or not.
Levi Turnbow married Roxie Staton on 06/01/1913 in Salpulpa, Creek, Oklahoma

I also looked up Hardt in the index and Turnbow and Sullivan, finding my Grandma's aunts and who they married (though I did already have this info, it's nice to see it again).

I have so much work to do. I found a listing in the SSDI for Virgie L. McConnell who I believe is correct. Now to find these aunts in the census records with their husbands and children, so I can get names straight. :)

Wish me luck!
