U.S. Court of China

Patrick Weigel Feb 4, 2016 4:49 PM

I am looking for a case form the U.S. Court of China. I am not sure if these records survived the war, or if this would have merited permanent retention. The case was a divorce case, Cause No. 4216, Case No. 2095, Tatiana Ivan Petroff v Alexey D. Petroff, from 1937. The court published a notice of the intended divorce in the China Weekly Review in 1927. A scan of the notice can be found here.

Hi Patrick,

Record Group 118, NC-51 entry 27 - Records of the District of China, Case Files, 1934-41 (NAID 20761317)

Unfortunately, this entry contains only a sample of all of the cases that went before the court,
and the Petroff case was not among them. This entry contains a sample of cases regarding criminal activity, but no divorce cases.
