BLAKE
Sisters of Mercy, Tarrytown, NY
1896-
1903(?)
Looking for information on my grandmother's birth siblings. On
April 20, 1896, Annie BLAKE (born Sept. 5, 1885), Thomas BLAKE (born Mar.
1, 1888), and Edward Joseph BLAKE (born Mar. 17, 1892) were placed with
the Sisters of Mercy in Tarrytown, NY. Their mother, Mary McDonnell
Blake, had passed away in March or April of 1896 and their father, Thomas
BLAKE, Sr. was unable to care for them.
Annie was discharged on Oct. 2, 1896 and according to the 1900 census,
she was living in the home of Wilson McCleave in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY
to work as a servant.
The 1900 census lists both Thomas and Edward still at the Sisters of
Mercy. I have no idea what happened to any of them after 1900.
My grandmother, Mary BLAKE, was too young to go with her siblings (only
11 months old at the time), so she was sent to the NY Foundling Hospital
in NYC. She was subsequently adopted from there. As far as I know, she
never saw any of her birth family again. She never told her children
that she had been adopted; they found out after she passed away.
I do know that my grandmother's aunt (her father's sister - Mary Blake
Spohn) sent a letter to the NY Foundling Hospital inquiring about my
grandmother and demanding to know her whereabouts. I have no idea what
the NY Foundling Hospital's response was, but it must have satisfied my
grandmother's aunt because there was apparently no more correspondence
from her.
My grandmother also had an uncle, Edward BLAKE, who lived with his wife,
Maggie, in Yonkers. They had a daughter, Annie.
If anyone has any information on this family, I would really appreciate
it!! Thank you!!

Birth 1927- november1927
I am looking for information concerning my adoption. My Mothers
name was Mary Beatrice Donnelly, Monroe County, Rochester, New York. I
was told she was unwed and sent to a home for unwed Mothers in
Binghamton, New York. Father unknown. I was adopted by Peter and Mary
Gilbert in November 1927 from an orphanage in Boome County,
Binghamton,New York. I may have some relatives in Rochester and would
appreciate any information. I was also told that my birth Mother was a
redheaded nurse in a hospital in Rochester. That is all of the
information I have at this time. I can't find a Mary Beatrice
anywhere.

Drain, Draine, Drane,
Drayne
Greeneville, PA, USA
1881 - 1889
My family has attempted to research my great-grandmother Laura
Drain (various spellings). Using the information given in her obituary,
(dated 12/1916, age 36) her mother died when she was just a few months
old. Laura and her baby brother were then adopted or fostered by a
family named Coruthers or Crothers in Greeneville, PA. Laura's foster
mothers name was Mary Coruthers or Crothers, born 4/1926 in Ireland. I
believe she came from Ireland through Canada. The 1900 census for Clare
County, Michigan stated she had been a U.S. Citizen for 14 years. The
census went on to say her parents were born in Canada and she was born in
Minnesota.
In another noterized, family affadavit prepared well after her death. It
stated she was born in St. Vincent, Minnesota, which is on the Canadian
border.
Laura was born 8/3/1880 and died 12/1916.
Can anyone suggest where to look for orphanage information between the
years 1881 and 1890 for Greeneville, PA or St. Vincent, MN.

Boggs
St.
Louis, MO
1852-1874
I am descended from Annie Louise Boggs, b. Mar 2 1852 in St.
Louis, MO (according to her death certificate). She first appears with
Harry & Louisa Boggs in the 1860 St. Louis census. Harry's 1869 obit
lists Annie as adopted. 1880 will of Harry's brother John also refers to
Annie as adopted.
Annie always listed her parents' birthplaces as PA & OH, which were
Harry's & Louisa's birthplaces respectively, so I don't know if she
knew who her biological parents were.
Any info or clues on where Annie originally came from would be greatly
appreciated!

Kott, Kot
St. Vincent De Paul Orhpanage (Detroit, Michigan & Mt.
Clemens, Michigan)
1926 - circa
1938
My father was born 1921 in Hamtramck, Michigan. His father was
Frank Kott (aka Francis Kot), a Polish immigrant. His mother was Viola
Bella Urquhart, a Canadian. In March 1926, my father (George Edward
Francis Kott) and his siblings (William, John, and Mary Ellen) were made
wards of the court and placed in the Detroit St. Vincent De Paul Society
Orphanage. The boys were placed in foster homes in the Detroit area.
Mary Ellen was place in home in Macomb County (probably Mt. Clemens),
Michigan. She died of the measles and pneumonia in April 1926.
Their parents were not dead and the children were never given up for
adoption, but the nuns refused to give my father or his siblings any
information about why they were placed in the orphanage or what became of
their parents. Even as adults they were unable to obtain any meaningful
information. We have learned that Frank Kott was a resident of Eloise
Hospital for an undetermined length of time. We would like to know why
our father was placed in the orphanage and what became of his parents.
Does anyone know where and how to locate the records from the Detroit St.
Vincent De Paul Society? Or the records from Eloise Hospital?

November, 1930. Our parents were James (Everett or Edward) Chance and

were just babies when we were placed in the Iowa Soldier's Orphanage.
Dorothea was adopted,
but I was not due to medical reasons. When I was a teenager my father got
me out of the orphanage, located in Davenport, Iowa. We were never able
to find Dorothea, due to privacy restrictions. At 73 I would finally like
to find her. We have searched everywhere, and just hope someone out there

Alice FLEET - born 1862 - was living with William H. Frank family

(ON HER DEATH RECORD IT STATES:
"Father: Abraham FLEET, born TN.
Mother: UNKNOWN
NOTE: The only Abraham FLEETS I have found came
from FLEET families in New York.
There was also an Abram FLEET on Jasper Co., MO.
1870 census. I am unsure as to who he was.
Eli (or Ely) Allen FLEET (shown on death record as E. A. FlEET)
was living with Eli Rippy family - Eli eventually
married Eli Rippy's niece, Mary Ellen Rippy & they
also eventually moved to Hunt Co., TX.
I believe there is a big chance these Fleet sisters & their brother
quite possibly were Orphan Train children.
I also found out most citizens of Laclede Co., MO. went to the
ABO CHURCH. Eli Rippy has also been listed as a judge/or justice of the
peace on some censuses & documentation.

(conflictin records) it became Utica Catholic Academy, a girl's school.
I am looking for physical information on the building and also
information from residents who lived there.

Mernick or Mernich
Foundling Home in Manhattan, New York
1940-
42?
I am looking for information on my mother. She was placed in the
foundling home at the age of 2 by a young mother who was unable to take
care of her. The mother's older sister had too many children of her own.
The mother supposedly died young of kidney disease and the father was in
the service. The child was adopted by a couple from Connecticut and
lived there. Supposedly, the judge's records burned in a fire. We only
have a birth registry with the last name on it.

Douglass/Douglas
San Francisco area in

ca-1875-1884
I am looking for the orphanage in the San Francisco Area.
My Great Grandmother Mary (French) Douglass died abt
1875 perhaps later, however it is said she died in childbirth.
That being the case it would have been 1875 when Addie's
brother Robert A. Douglass was born to Mary and Robert
Douglass in the city of San Francisco. However it has been said that
the father Robert took the children after her death and placed them in an
orphanage as he wanted to go mining. He would not tell any of the family
where he placed them for some unknown reason. If I could have the names
of orphanages in that area or close by I would be most
appreciative.
Thank you,

Interesting Site. You've done a nice job with graphics. My
brothers and I were all in three different orpanages in CT, USA. I see
you have St. Francis Roman Cath listed for 1900 - nothing for mid 1900's
yet? My oldest brother was in St. Francis but in 1947-?. My next
brother was in St. Anthony - either in Ne Haven or Hartford. I was in an
infant orphanage having just been born, nammed St. Agnes in Hartford,CT.
They are all out of existence now. St Agnes's building has even been
knocked down.
Good luck in your continued work. You are helping a lot of people I am

Kelly
Newark New Jersey
unknown
My great-grandmother was born in Elizabeth in 1872. According to
my "family history", which leaves too much unsaid, "One
day whie their mother was at work, the priest from St. Mary's came and
took Ellen and Mary to an orphanage in Newark, the other children ran and
hid in the bushes. After a short while at the orphanage, Mary ran away
and asked a man on the street for carfare which he gave her and she came
back home to Elizabeth by trolley, but Ellen had to stay there for three
years." My grandmother married in 1888, so this must have happened
sometime around 1880-1882, since she was able to find her way home.
Could this be the St. Mary's Orphanage on South Orange Street? Does it
still exist? Where could I find records from that time period. Any help
would be deeply appreciated. Also, does that story sound
likely?

We want her to know that we want her. That her mother wanted her. We
want her to know that she has a sister who would very much like to get to
know her. Dorthy Alice was born April 11, 1930 to Ethel and Gilmore
Shaft in Walworth county Wisconsin. The story is that Ethels uncle Dell
Warner told her that she had to give the child up. And took her to the
sheriffs station to do so. If this is true I dont know. But if you have
any information that can help us locate Dorthy it would be greatly
apreciated. And Dorthy if you see this. Its time to come home now. We

Mexico Home for Old Folks and Orphans, Mexico, Indiana,
USA
1912 to 1915
I have the record books Vol I,II,and III for the Mexico Orphanage
and Old Folks Home in Mexico, Indiana. These records were compiled by
Mary Ettinger in 1989. They are available at the Kosciusko Co.
Historical Society in Warsaw,IN but I would be glad to do lookups for
anyone if this source is unavailable to you. All volumes are indexed by
last name and contain information about birhdates, parent names, who they
were farmed out to for labor, when they were admitted and when they
finally left. Some of the information is not accurate such as birthdates
but it does contain a lot of information not found anywhere else.
My mother, her sister, and brother spent varing times in this orphanage
which was run by the Dunkard Church. My mother had many stories to tell
about her time spent there--most of them not good.
I also have 2 pictures of the orphanage with children in front of it.
One picture has my mother in it so I know it was taken between 1912 and
1915 so the orphan you are looking for may be in that picture. The other
picture is on the cover of one of the volumes and I have no idea of the
date for it.

Milyo
Lackawanna County, PA
1906-
1942
I have a petition form for my ancestor, to the Lackawanna Co.
Orphan's court, filed in 1942. It requests a delayed special
registration of birth, stating the birth was not before made in a public
record "in accordance with the act of July 16, 1941."
The form states the place and date of birth, and parents' names and
residence of the family at the time of this birth...which was Clearfield
Co. PA. His parents were deceased at the time of the filing of the
petition.
My question is...does this mean my ancestor was specifically an
"orphan" or was the birth registration assigned to the
"Orphan's Court" because of the delay in filing?
I have read the orphan explanations in the web site introduction and am
trying to understand this particular scenario. HELP!

which side or how close of a family member (sister, aunt, cousin?).
Natalie once told the story of when she turned 18 she went to seek out
the records but the orphanage burned down prior to that and she was
unable to find anything because at that time the records were not sent to

New York State, possibly Ogdensburg
1903-
?
CLARENCE BRUNNER, b. Dec 14, 1899, place unknown. Parents thought
to be ALBERT BRUNNER, HELEN FLEMING. Placed in home, possibly in
Ogdensburg, NY at age 3 yrs. (1903?) Was never adopted. Placed in several
foster homes and returned to orphanage. He ran away and crossed the
country where he enlisted in Army at Ft. Logan, Colorado at age 16. Can't
find his birth in NYS. Some stories that he might have been part French
Canadian. Maybe he was born in Canada and brought across the St. Lawrence
and placed in Home in Ogdensburg. Can anyone help? Many thanks and best
of wishes to all looking.

phillips
Arkansas
1915
My grandmother Ovedee Phillips and maybe some of her siblings
ws placed in an oprhanage in Arkansas due to the fact their parents
passed away.
Their father was killed on a train in Sikkeston, Mo going to
California to get a job and when he got there he was suppose
to send for the family but he was killed.
Then she loaded the children up in a covered wagon and brought them to
Ar. from Tompkinsville, Ky. I don't know how long she
was there when she died of pneumonia.
Her parents names was William Phillips and Lillie Belle Harris
Phillips.
Grandmother ws suppose to be adopted by a couple in Manila, Ar.
by the name of Mr and Mrs Frank Crane. But Mr. Crane passed
away and his wife sent my grandmother back to the orphanage
saying the adoption never went thru and then there was a rumor
by his family later on that she done it due to the fact she
was afraid she would ahve to share his estate with his family,
and that is why she put her back in the orphange but like i said it was
justa rumor.
But if you can help me with this matter it would be very much
appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Betty

Cunningham
Vine Street Orphanage, Chattanooga, Tennessee
Aprox. 3
Hello, I am looking for any information regarding my grandfather,
James Cunningham. He was born in 1873. Aparently, his mother died in a
fire when he was 9 years old, and he and his brother, John, were sent to
the Vine Street orphanage in Chattanooga Tennessee. We are not sure of
his birthplace, but we think he might have been born in Germany and came
to America as a baby. The family might have settled in Stevenson, Al.
before the death of his mother. We are not sure what happend to his
father.
We do know my grandfather was adopted by John McMahan of Trenton Georgia.
There is very little history regarding my grandfather, except that he
married one of John McMahan's relatives, Elizabeth Christian.
He died in 1935 in Birminham Al. He worked for Frisco Railroad in
Memphis, Chattanooga, Birmingham and Atlanta.
If anyone has any information regarding James Cunningham, also known as
"Jimmy Mac". Please get in touch with me.
Thank you, Linda Foley

Albert Krebs
Wisconsin
1895-1904
I'm searching for information about my grandmother's
brother, Albert Krebs. He was placed in an orphanage when their parents
died. My grandmother and her sister went to live with other relatives.
However, the youngest child, Albert, went to an orphange. He was born 22
Sep 1892. He was placed in the orphanage sometime after 1895, and stayed
there until he ran away when he was 12 years old (1904).
I don't know where the family was living at the time their mother
died. However, likely places are Franklin, Jackson County, WI; Iron
River area in Bayfield County, WI; or around the Menominee, WI area.
Does anyone know of a list of orphanges in Winsconsin that would have
been operating during this time period (1895-1905)? Does anyone know
where such a list could be found?
I appreciate all help and any suggestions that you can provide.

ALLEN
TIOGA OR POTTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (and surrounding

around 1906 or 7
I am not an orphan from a home, but i have been searching for one
for quite a while. My problem is that i do not know the name fo the
home(s) that the people i am searching for were in. I am looking for
anyone who may have information on Nathan Allen and his sister Kathryn
(any variety of spellings) Allen. They were left on church steps in Tioga
or Potter county somewhere around the years 1906 to 1909. the children
stayed together in the home they were sent to for some time then kathryn
was sent elsewhere and Nathan never saw her again. I am searching for
this information for my boyfriends father. He is the son of Nathan and
would really like to find his fathers sister. If anyone could help me
with the names of the homes in these areas or maybe someone finds the
names of these people familiar i would really love to hear form you. We
have no idea where the family comes from and it would mean so much for us
to find Kathryn and/or her descendants. Nathan was about 5 yrs old give
or take when they were left on those steps and his sister was still young
enough to be left in a basket (probably a year or less) We have a birth
for Nathan saying born in 1903 but it is only a typed record from the
orphans court, not a regular birth certificate, so it may not be totally
correct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. thank you Lynn

between late 1900, because Annie was on the June 1900 census for Greene
Co, GA, aged 8 mos old w/ her mother, Ellen Jane LANKFORD. Guy was not
born yet.
When Annie/Guy's father, ________ LANKFORD/LANGFORD [unknown first
name] either died or disappeared, their mother, Ellen Jane
LANKFORD/LANGFORD remarried in Oct 1907 in Oconee Co, GA. Her new
husband's name was William Judson "Jett" LANDRUM. He took
Annie/Guy out of the orphanage and gave them his name, LANDRUM. They are
all together on the 1910 Morgan Co, GA census under the name LANDRUM. So
that puts Annie/Guy all being in the orphanage until about late 1900 to
Oct 1907.
Names/places/dates are below:
Annie Marie LANKFORD/LANGFORD [my line]
b 9-24-1899 Lincoln Co, GA
her brother:
Guy Charles LANKFORD/LANGFORD
b 3-23-1902 GA
child that shows up w/ Jett, Ellen, Annie and Guy in 1910 census:
Sam LANDRUM
b ABT 1903 GA
The mystery child, Sam LANDRUM is unknown to the family. We don't
know if he was Annie/Guy's brother or another kid in the orphanage
that Jett took in. Sam was never mentioned at all by my great
grandmother.
I don't know of any orphanage names or rosters or anything to look
all this info up in. I would so appreciate any help!!

Jessie Mae (Rosa Cole)
Rogers
Cleveland, OHIo
born
1883
I am desperately seachiing for my great grandmother's (Jessie
Mae Rogers)biological family.
She was born as ROSA COLE? in April 1883 and was place into a Euclid Ohio
Orphange(may have been a Jewish school). She was adopted by John Raphael
Rogers and Clara Ardelia Saxton in 1886. He name was changed to Jessie
Mae(May). She was then taken to Berea, Kentucky. It is said that her
biological younger sister Sarah Louise was also adopted at that time due
to Jessie's insistance.
There is some speculation that John Rogers may have been Jessie Mae's
biological father. It is also speculation that her biological
mother's last name may have been HAMILTON. I've also been told
that she had been previously adopted and returned for unknown reasons.
Unfortunately the Orphange she was at burned down and the records
persummed lost. Can you help me?
Thank you very much!

WADDELL/WEDDELL, Margaret, was placed in an orphanage on December
27, 1888. For names of mother and father on her death Certificate it is
handwritten: "no way of finding out infant, taken from orphanage in
childhood". She was raised by Wm. & Hattie (Hackett) Stephenson
at Tuscola, IL. Family believes she was taken out of the orphanage at 4
days of age. The Stephenson's never adopted her and referred to her
as their foster daughter. I have no further information on her
childhood. She is listed on the 1900 census as being 11 years old in the
household of the Stephensons. She died at the age of 43 of pernicious
anemia. My mother's family knew nothing more about her, that they
would admit anyway. It was a hush-hush topic in the family. I wrote to
City of Cincinnati for her birth record and they referred me to the
Probate Court in Hamilton County, OH. I have not yet done that. This a
long shot I know, but would anyone have any further suggestions?

Upon her removal Matilda was 'fostered' by Mr and Mrs NEWTON of
Nova Scotia.
Circa 1870, Mr and Mrs NEWTON relocated to England taking Matilda JOHNSON
/ JOHNSTON with them , although Matilda recalled that Mrs BINNEY
requested that she remain in Nova Scotia with her, Matilda declined
preferring instead to relocate with her 'foster' parents.
Mrs NEWTON perished not long after their arrival in England, on her death
bed however she confided to Matilda JOHNSON / JOHNSTON that Mary BINNEY
nee BLISS held information pertaining to her parentage.
Matilda JOHNSON / JOHNSTON married William WRSTACOTT circa 1880, they
immigrated to Australia in 1889.
To date I have been unable to locate any information relating to my gg
g'mother in either Canada or England and therefore would appreciate
any assistance or advice on relation to my search.

Thompson Orphanage-Episcopal Child Care Services
15
I was raised in an Orphanage in Charlotte, NC. Thompson Orphange
I stayed at the Orphanage until it became Episcopal Childcare Services -
on Margaret Walleace Road.
I then was placed in a group home in Greensboro, NC.
I am trying to reach two groups of folks anyone form the Orphanage,
Children's Home or Group Home.
I am also interested in contacting my relatives especially siblings,
timmy, Jackie, Jeffery, Jody & Suzy - from Michigan
I was a victim of Child Abuse - so I know who my Mother is although we
have only spoken twice in 30 years she has made it known that bthe name I
carry is not my real father. MY real father was probably a Marine,
stationed at Camp Lejune in Cherry Point NC.
I would just like to touch base with anyone who might be able to provide
some information or just share with others who knew me then.

After doing dozens of keyword searches for my ancestral family GOBITCH I
finally came upon this link:

/pennsylvania/1900/lehighpa00.htm
However, I do not know how to, or where to begin a foll-up on this. This
(Frank Gobitch) is the only reference to my original family name that I
have ever been able to find. My Grandfather and my Father immigrated to
the United States from Kishenev, Roumania somewhere around
1923.

I am trying to do genealogy for my Mother's side of the
family. She was born Ardella Lee McMinn, 13 Oct 1934 in Chester OK,
Major County. We believe her parents names were Glen W. McMinn and
Thelma Myrtle Puckett. She went into foster care in the Spring or Summer
of 1935. The families she lived with were Jack and Alvina Hobbs, a
family named Swearingen and Gertrude Dyess. We are not sure if her
parents died or if she was abandoned. Any information that we could get
would help us. Thanks

1920's
My grandmother, Gertrude Conard-Manz was born August 18, 1913 in
Burlington, NJ. She stated that her parents could no longer care for her
so she was placed in an orphanage. She recalls attending school until
she was 9 or 10, so we are assuming that was the time she was placed in a
home. We have absolutely no other information. We would like to know
how we could find out where she was placed, when, for how long, any
additional siblings, etc. Any additional information would be most
appreciated!!!!

Mary....children Charles, Mary, Elizabeth, Lucy, Hattie and Robert
Countess/Countiss. Robert ended up in Canada approx age 21. Lucy,
Elizabeth and Hattie show up in Michigan. Lucy not before 1860. It is

Daly
Unknown name, Catholic Orphanage, San
Francisco, California
1905 - 1917
(approx.)
My grandfather, Francis (Frank) Daly was born out of wedlock to a
woman in 1900. She is reported, through family history, as being Mary
McMahon from Ireland. He supossedly is named for his father, Francis or
Frank Daly, also from Ireland. I am unable to locate his birth
certificate, as it was detroyed in the fire that followed the Earthquake
of 1906. His mother kept him until he was 5, and due to unknown
circumstances (marriage? finances?) surrendered him to the care of the
orphanage. He was always reluctant to go into further detail - evidently
he did not have a happy life in the orphanage. Since he died in 1987 I
have lost any chance of getting more info from him.
1) Can you tell me the name of a Catholic orphanage in opperation in San
Francisco at the turn of the 20th century?
2) Any hints or suggestions as to how to approach a search? I have
checked census records for both possible parents' names for 1900 and
find few concrete leads. I have also checked some newspaper files and
archives for leads (birth announcement, marriage in proximity to
surrender). All have been dead ends.
Any suggestions or leads?
Thank You,

Berst/Burst/Boerst/B�rst
Brown or Clermont
Counties Ohio
1850s
I am searching for an orphanage or asylum in which my great-
grandmother, Catherine Berst, might have been placed by her father,
Jacob, ca. 1850s. Possibly it was "The Children's Home" in
Brown County? If so, where was that located?
According to The Revised Statutes of Ohio by Curwen, which provides
insight about the law as it stood in 1854 with regard to
"orphaned" or unwanted children it was customary for unwanted
children to be placed in orphanages until TOWNSHIP clerks (not county
officials) or overseers of the poor cound place them in an indenture
situation, where they might learn a trade (and earn their keep, I guess).
I plan to search township records when the various clerks can accommodate
my request.
Catherine's father lived in Campbell County KY (1850) and in Miami
Township, Clermont County (where he remarried in 1854.) Catherine seems
to have been indentured to a Ludwig Braun/Louis Brown in the Village of
Arnheim in Franklin Township, Brown County. She was enumerated with this
family and several other unrelated adults in the 1860 census.
I searched the 1850 and 1860 (page by page) census of Brown and
Clermont counties and did not find an orphanage, or a large group of
unrelated children enumerated together.
If a certain Children's Home in Brown County was in operation in the
1850s, can someone tell me which township it was in? I guess I missed
it. It might provide me with a link to where Jacob Berst might have
placed Catherine before she was "bound out."
I have looked into the placement of children in Ohio, but I don't
know if I was able to get back far enough:
In "Child Placing in Ohio," which was published by the Division
of Charities, Dept. of Public Welfare in Columbus Ohio in 1928, I read:
p. 42:
"BROWN COUNTY, POPULATION 22,621
"Brown County, a rural county of about 22,000 population,
stretching along the Ohio River, with the county seat at Georgetown, was
the first county to take advantage of the foregoing law in the
abandonment of the Children's Home. This institution, a large
rambling brick structure, built many decades ago, was in such bad
condition
that the commissioners were faced with abandonment and rebuilding a new
institution or adopting the other plan of appointing a Child Welfare
Board which would proceed to care for the children in family homes.
"The latter was done after the old institution was legally
abandoned and closed in 1922. A placing agent was secured and home
finding became an active concern of the board and placing agent. One
family licensed to board as many as six children has served for the past
few years as the receiving home where children first come and stay
temporarily until they are placed in other foster homes.
"Since the Child Welfare Board has taken charge of the work in 1922,
they have had 71 wards who have been cared for in this manner."
And on p. 10,:
CHILDREN IN INFIRMARIES, JAILS AND REFORM SCHOOLS
"In 1853 township trustees, overseers of the poor, and certain
public officers were given legal rights to "bind out" orphan
children to any orphan asylum incorporated under the laws of the state,
the children to remain in said orphan asylum until the trustees should
find suitable homes for them when they might be indentured at service.
Thus the dependent, neglected child was either "bound out" to
the few private orphan asylums then existing with the possibility of
placement by the trustees of the asylum; was indentured to a private
family directly by the township trustees or overseers of the poor, or was
sent to the jail, infirmary, or an overcrowded reform school.
For years thereafter and until the County Children's Home system got
under way, most of the dependent children were tragic objects of
humanity, swarming the infirmaries that housed the dregs of adult and
senile society. There were 2273 children under 16 years of age under
care in the infirmaries during the year 1877 (Annual Report of Ohio Board
State Charities, 1876, p. 103) ."
On p. 6,
"That placing dependent children in the care of private families was
early practiced by Ohio institutions and agencies was brought to light
time and again by the old Ohio Board of State Charities after its
creation in 1867, with general inspectional powers to ascertain the
conditions in all charitable institutions. It was not, however, until
1913 that the care and protection of the dependent children of
the State became an active and specialized function of the state
government."
Thanks to anyone who even reads all this!

Smith
Atlanta, Georgia

Looking for info on orphan home in Fulton County (Atlanta
area)Georgia where a Dr. Benjamin T. Beasley may have been affiliated.
The person we are searching for info on is our Mom, Lethia (Alethia)
Smith. We believe she was in an orphanage between at least 1924 and 1929
before showing up in the 1930 Murray County, Shuck Pen Twnsp, Georgia
census as living with a Smith family --- the name could be coincidence or
she could have been a relative. The only document we have is a medical
examination record (with no institution listed)listing Dr. Beasley as the
physician. She did not have a birth certificate, but we believe her date
of birth was 10/28/19 and that her parents were possibly Labon Smith and
Frankie Berryhill Smith. Thank you for any info you may have relating to
these sketchy details.

Orwigsburg, PA
My brother and I were put into Saint Francis Orphanage in
Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. We are in our mid forties now without much
recollection of who,what, where, when, and how we were mangaged at this
facility. Since we were in our formidable years at the time there is no
one to help except those files. We are and were always treated
indifferent to this day.I would like to know if there are public files to
help bring closure to some personal issues surrounding our stay at Saint
Francis. My family is in denial, and there is inconsistancy in there
verberage. All I have is my brother to hold on to, and I am troubled for
him today because of the resentments he bottles up.
Please help me, I know there are former orpans out there that struggle
with uncertainties and why they behave the way they do. Is there an
organization that helps former orphans with bringing closure to the
resentment of not knowing?

Good, Oartman or
Oatrman?, Melser
Brooklyn, New York?
I'm trying to help a Daniel Melser get ahold of a birth
certificate. He thinks he was born around 1943, and that he was born in
Brookly New York. He doesn't know anything for sure because he was
put in a home (foster or otherwise) as a child, and then sold to a
family. He's worried because in order to die in the United States,
you have to have a birth certificate. He thinks that his biological
mother's name was Myrtle Good, and that his father's name was
something like "Amasa Oatrman". If anyone has any information
that they can disclose to me, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Looking
for this person to respond to their 4/16/01 message. I went to college
in Batesville at Lyon College, formerly Arkansas College. It was said
that there used to be an orphange located on that spot that had burned
years before. You might want to check with the college or with the
Independence County Court House in Batesville for more information. Good
luck with your search!!!
Moore, Myrtle, May
Catholic orphanage/Jefferson county/Louisville, Ky
1903-
I am looking for my grandmother, Myrtle May Moore born in 1896
and sent to a Catholic orphanage around 1903. She had a sister (older, I
think) Emma Margaret Moore-Watts who wasn't sent, I don't think.
Their mother, Emma May Serrett/Sarrett either died or there was a
divorce. Their father, Charles Harold/Harould Moore remarried.I
understand they were supposed to inherit some Pecan Groves, which is why
the step-mother sent my grandmother to an orphanage. I am not sure what
happened to the sister or the possible brother, Charles Harold/Harould
Moore, Jr.
My grandmother went on to marry a Mackey Dorrie/Dorry Pendergrass, then
Urless Ewing Beck. She died in 1987 in TN.
A big family link is missing here and I really would appreciate some
help. I have been in contact with two known Catholic Orphanages but to no
avail. Any help would be appreciated!!
So glad there is this site to post this message to. Hope it helps me,
then I can perhaps help someone else.

"All three children were committed by Committee on Children
and admitted to St. Dominic's on October 6, 1909 address 1156 Third

Does anyone know: What is Committee on Children?
Family did not live at 1156 Third Avenue...does anyone know
what Cathoilic church related place may have been there in 1909?
Been searching for these three Burke children and their parents for 23

I was very happy with the friendly and helpful response from the
folks at St. Dominics's Home when I inquired about the time spent by
2 of my Aunts and 1 Uncle at St. Dominics. They sent me
copies of what appears to be all the pertinent records of these relatives
including the court papers when they were "assigned" to
St.Dominics. Entwined in all this data were numerous leads to finding
more information about my relatives.
I contrast this to an attorney in Florida who was in charge of the estate
of another one of my relatives who wanted $350 before he would start to
search his files and couldn't promise me anything!

Charles Winters
The New York Juvenile Asylum, Englewood, Ill.
1897
Searching for info on Charles Winters, my husband's
grandfather. He had in his possession a book, "Doctor Will" by
Jennie Harrison, Copyright 1880 by American Tract Society, 150 Nassau St.
New York. The following inscription was handwritten in the front:
"Charles Winters, Dec. 25, 1897". Stamped on the opposite page
was "Presented by The New York Juvenile Asylum, Englewood, Ill. Dec.
25, 1897." Family legend said Charles was found in a basket on the
steps of an orphanage in New York and somehow ended up in Illinois.
However, I wonder if over the years the legend was misconstrued from the
New York Juvenile Asylum in Englewood, Ill. Charles was never adopted and
in 1897 at age 17 he left the orphanage and a farm family near Marengo
took him in as a farm hand. I have tried to find records of the New York
Juvenile Asylum without success. I would welcome any information. Please
e-mail [email protected].

very new at this and I don't know how to go about tracing my family
heritage on both the maternal and the paternal side. I do know that the
orphanage was run by the Roman Catholic Church. My grandfather had two
siblings that were also left at the orphanage with him and their names
were Casey Abbott and Mildred (Milly) Abbott. I also know that their
names were Americanized from Abote to Abbott. HELP!!!

late 20's when her husband abandoned them. My mother lived there

Charity ran the orphanage. Would like to know more information about the
orphanage.
Lupin-Taylor
Honolulu, Hawaii
1939-1950
I am looking for my father's (William Edward Lupin Taylor:
born William Edward Lupin on June 3, 1936 to Annie Grace Lupin)
biological sister (Blossom - think she was about nine years older than my
father) and/or relatives and/or the family that took him out of the
orphanage in Hawaii (Scott and Tina Wolfe). My father's mother (Annie
Grace Lupin) died when he was very young. His maternal grandmother took
him in and other relatives took his older sister, Blossom. My
father's grandmother died also and he was placed in an orphanage, but
I don't know the name of the orphanage or the year he was placed.
Scott Wolfe worked for the Federal Aviation Administration sometime
around 1950 - 1980 in Honolulu and had five children of his own (George,
Debbie, ...) but he and his wife took my father out of the orphanage to
raise with their children. I'm not sure whether they were related to
my father or not. I found out that Scott died sometime in the early
1980's, but I was unable to find any information on the whereabouts
of his surviving family members. I think Scott and Tina were originally
from Ohio, more specifically, Cincinatti, OH.
I do know that my father went to visit his sister, Blossom in 1962, and
she had moved to San Jose, CA. She married an Italian man by the surname
of "Giamaco" - spelling may be off since I am sounding it out.
When my father visited her, she had a son by the name of ?Jack?. I
believe she may have had more children but I seem to remember the name
Jack and Steve. Steve may be her husband's name. Her husband did
not like my father particularly care for my father. I think race was an
issue. My father is of mixed heritage. None of this is etched in stone,
but to the very best of my recollection, it is as accurate as I can get
it. PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY
HELP ME FIND SOME KIND OF CLOSURE, YOU MAY CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL AT:
[email protected]. ANY TINY PIECE OF INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY

1902-
1916 ?
I have been searching many years to find the Children's home
my grandmother, Lillie May Estes, had lived in. She knew that she lived
with the Tim Moore Family, but didn't know where. I have recently
found the home, but have not found her listed in the census. I've
also found the history of the home.
It was first founded in 1902 by Rev J. O. Mcklurkan as a Pentecostal
Mission Bible School. By 1906 it was called the Pentecostal Mission
Training home for girls. By 1908, Mrs Tim Moore was the superintendant of
the home. I am still trying to locate more information but would also be
willing to do look ups for anyone thinking they may have someone that
lived in this home.
It was located on McFerrin Ave in East Nashville. I have a photo that was
taken, I'm guessing on this, between 1908-1910.
I hope to locate someone with the records from this home. I will
eventually as I have time transcibe the 1910 and 1920 census, but I
don't see it happening this summer.
Thanks for this web site, it was much needed. Sue

In a West Texas town called Abilene Texas in the early 1920's and the
late 1918;s there was a man called Dr. W.A. Nicholas. Later on he became
known as Rev Nicholas. This man help organize an organization called West
Texas Children Aid and Welfare Association. He would travel by horse,
wagon, train or how ever he could to locate babies and children who were
not wanted. Then he would go and place the children in homes. Last known
record was 1955 .
During his time he placed over 1500 children into homes..
You can see the web site http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/adoptee//. Or
type in West Texas Children Aid This event will be help in Abilene Texas
August 9th and 10th.2003
Who knows what can take place. I have many pictures of babies he placed
and no names. Many people he placed have pictures of their infant and
just maybe some one will see the picture and know who is who.
I am asking for help to contact people all over the country on this and
writing every one that has a similar story. If you have any information
you wish to share please let me know. Any one is welcome to come to the
meeting which place will be announced later.

Franklin
Children's Home, Paris, Edgar Co., Illinois
possibly 1899 - 1916
My Great Grandmother lived in an Orphanage in Paris, Illinois. I
have post cards mailed to her dated 1910 & 1914. The cards are
addressed to her c/o Children's Home, and one has c/o her Mother,
Estella Franklin at the Children's Home.
John Franklin married Estella Miller 1897 they had possibly 12 children:
Callie, Earnest, Leona, Sarah, Mary, Hattie, Martha, John, Edward, Ervin,
Homer, and an unknown last child. It is unknown if all these children
lived in the orphanage. Some of them may have died at a young age
because our family has no record of them.
Acutally our family only has a record of 5 of the above children. 4
traveled to Baltimore, MD with their Mother in 1916, and one was adopted
in Illinois, and remained in Illinois.
I'm hoping someone knows where this orphanage was located or where
their records may be so that we can contact them to see if they have
information on the children so we can update our family records. If you
have any infromation, you may email me directly at:

Thompson
Christian Children's Home? Jersey City, NJ
early 1900's/1910's
I am starting a search for my grandmother's brother/family.
My 7 year old has sparked everyone's interest. The story goes like
this: My grandma JENNIE THOMPSON and her brother JIMMY THOMPSON were
taken to Christian Children's Home in JERSEY CITY, NJ when their
mother died. Jennie was about 7 and Jimmy maybe 12 at the time. Jimmy
had to leave when he was 16 or so and when he did he joined the circus.
(or so the story goes) and as far as I know, was not heard from again.
7-8 years after the children were left, the father died. (name unknown)
my grandmother took the train to the funeral in BROOKLYN, NY with another
orphan-my "Aunt" Agnes. They were the only 2 at the funeral
and the funeral director cried. Maybe that will spark some memories of
the family. My mother was born in the mid 30's. Her mother had her
children somewhat later for the time, making her time at the orphanage
during 1910-1915? Really don't have much to go on, but any
information at all would be so appreciated!! Also, any help as far as
where to start. Thanks.

I am searching for information on three relatives, Elizabeth,
Genevieve (Jennie) and James Simpson. Their parents were Catherine (nee
Farrell) and James Simpson. The three children were placed in an
orphans'home after 1885 and up to 1910 in St. Louis Missouri. The
children were born in St. Louis but their parents were born in Ireland. I
have little other information other than James moved to Elsberry in
Lincoln county Mo. and married Birdie, who was a widow. Elizabeth married
Michael Joseph Walsh and had two children in St. Louis. Genevieve
(Jennie) never married and lived in St. Louis. She was the eldest of the
three and may not have been placed in the orphans home for very
long.

STAFORD
My grandfather was John Thomas Stafford born 1879. He was placed
in an orphanage somewhere in the south along with his brother
Charles/Charlie. They were placed there about 1885-1890.
They were placed in the orphanage by their uncle after their mother and 2
sisters died of malaria and then a while later their father died from a
fall from a wagon.
John was told his brother died at the orphanage but he believed he had
been adopted and they didn't want any trouble fom him.
John settled and married in Lee County, Mississippi. So I feel the
orphanage was close to this area. Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas,

adopted by George Morr in 1900 in Auburn IN. I do not know their birth

believe the Morrs picked the children up from some sort of an agency in
the Plymouth IN area in 1899 or 1900.

St. John's Orphanage Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 1952
I was placed for adoption in 1952 by my birth parents. I was
adopted by Lawrence and Juleen Schmidt of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was
told my birth date was April 8, 1952. My adoptive parents told me little
about my birth parents, except that they had a number of other children
and could not afford me. i am not sure if this was true. They also made
other comments about them of which I have never been able to verify. To
their deaths, they would discuss nothing of my real parents of whom I
would like to know what they were like and if I did have any other
siblings. If anyone may be looking for a sister born in 1952 please
contact me.

My maternal grandfather was born 7/1/1887 with one of the above
surnames. It is presumed that he was born in the Buffalo/Lockport area.
As a young child, he was placed in the Windom Orphange.
A younger sister may have accompanied him to the orphanage.
He had two older brothers, who may or may not have been placed in the
orphanage. In their teens, the brothers worked with horses/mules on the
Erie Canal.
By 1892 he was adopted.
Any information on the Trautmann family or the orphanage is sincerely
appreciated.

My great-grandfather, Augustos F. Wiler, is on one of the Orphan
Train lists. The only information given on it is the location of Indian
Territory, Bryan County - now Bryan Co., OK. He was born in Germany,
April of 1840. I have found an August Wiler living in upstate N.Y. in
Chatagua Co. in 1850 - A Wiler Family in the 10th Dist. of New Orleans
with a son named August and an August Wiler in Bastrop Co., Texas on the
1860 Census alone. The Wiler Family on the 1850 New Orleans Census may
possibly have been his parents. Unknown what happened to them. Would
love to hear from an ancestor related to the New Orleans Wiler family or
others who might be related in any way.

Matthews is the surname, Lonetta, Donnie, Lester, and Homer were
the siblings
unknown for sure, but thought to be
Dallas TX area
early 1900's
My grandmother and her siblings were placed in an orphanage in
the early 1900's. My grandmother's name is Lonetta Faye
Matthews, her brothers were Lester (a baby) and Homer, and a sister
Donnie. Donnie was the eldest, then Homer, then Lonetta, then Lester. I
have a letter that Donnie wrote home to her mother, Dexter D Smith
Matthews, asking her to get them out of the orphanage, she thought she
was about 9 yo at the time, she has since passed on, but couldn't
recall the name of the orphanage. She remembers her mother coming to get
them and riding the train home, said it wasn't very far and home was
East TX, Alba area, and she thought the orphanage was in Dallas, TX. My
grandmother was born in 1912, so this would have been in the early
1900's.
If you have any information on these children, which orphanage, or
anything, please let me know. You can write me at [email protected].
I've just begun my search on the Matthews, so I know there's not
much information, but maybe something will come from this. Thanks so
much!

Life Line Orphan Home, Wyandotte, Ks.

?
I am trying to find some information regarding a census record
that I found on my son's grandfather BENJAMIN STROBEL. He is listed
with sister EVELYN on the 1930 census of Wyandotte, Ks Township Shawnee.
He is listed as an orphan, and the sideline of the census is hard to
read, but it looks as though it says "Life Line Orphan Home".
I know that technically he wasn't an orphan, because his father
didn't die until 1974, but I also know that the children were either
taken away from their mother or she died. Maybe Julius had already left
or divorced her. If anyone has any information about this orphan home,
or knows where I could inquire please respond.

I am looking for information on Charles Ames, born March 20, 1812

1822-1830 in Canterbury, CT but I assume he was in an orphanage until
that point. Any orphanage info (what orphanages existed at the time, and
where) would be appreciated. He could also have been born in Boston, so
orphanages there are a possibility, as well.

I am trying to find out information about the orphange that my
grandmother Honora Emily Fitzsimmons was sent to after her mother died
giving birth to her.We were always told that it was in Ogdensburg NY. It
was a catholic orphange possibly run by french nuns. I have looked
everywhere and cant seem to find it. She did not talk much about this.
All I know is where and that she left to go with cousins when she was
around 10 years old. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very

Brown

I was told that my Grandfather Joseph Anthony Brown was adopted
and that his birthname was Millet, not sure of the spelling, but this is
the one I remember.
I ordered his Social Security application and he filled out James A.
Brown and Flora Dupree as his parents. I'm assuming they were the
adoptive parents, because I found them (I think) on the 1910, 1920 and
1930 censuses, and he was not on them. He wrote he was born October 11th
1910 in Southbridge (Worcester County) Mass.
Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone even reads
these!

Norma Ayer (This is probably
her adopted name)
Somewhere in Vermont
Probably 2-7 years
Anita L. Westcott -
Mother's orphanage location - September 29, 2003
I am looking for information from anyone who might have known my
birthmother after her adoption in 1930. She probably was in an orphanage
in Vermont before her adoption. She was born in 1923 and I am not sure
if her first name was Norma or if that was the name given her by her
adopted parents. I would also like to find out where I can get a list of
the orphanages that were in operation during the 1923-1930 timeframe. My
mother would have graduated High School in 1940 or 1941. Her name was
Norma Ayer. She went to NY and joined the Navy WAVES and I think she
attended Hunter College for their program there in 1943. I was born in
NY City in January 24, 1944 and was given up for adoption in 1945. I am
at a loss because I don't know if she went back to the Navy or if she
got married or if she now lives in Vermont where she was from. It is not
often that you have one adopted person looking for a mother who was also
adopted. Talk about deadends! Please, if anyone knew this young lady
when she was growing up, I sure would appreciate an email.

Rogers
West Virginia
Unknown
We are working on my husband's genealogy and do not know
enough about his father. All we know is that he, Harry E. (Earl Rogers,
was born on April 28, 1915 somewhere in West Virginia. We have also been
told that he had a brother named Raymond Rogers, whom we have no
information on. Sometime during their childhood, they were placed in an
orphanage, not sure if also in West Virginia. We have unconfirmed
information that their father's name was Fred Rogers and their mother
went by the name of Katie Longenecker. We do know that Harry died in
1983 in Atlanta, Georgia. We have no knowledge of whether Raymond still
lives or not and, if so, where.
If anyone has any information or think they may have information
regarding Harry and/or Raymond Rogers, we would truly appreciate hearing
from you.

Louise Peach
Pirtle
Williamson Tennessee
My Grandma was raised in a foster home. Her name was Louise Peach
and she married Jesse D. Pirtle on August 15, 1929. I happen to come
across this site while doing some genealogy searching. She was raised by
a Jessie Bates from Tennessee. Her husbands name I believe was George
Bates. They had a daughter and her name was Irene Bates. My Grandmas
parents were Lou Dorton or Darton Peach and her dad was Oscar Peach. Her
mom remarried and her husband didn't want to raise her children and
his to, so thats how my Grandma ended up in a foster home. If anybody
knows any web sites that have to do with foster care in Tennessee in the
early 1900's I would really appreciate it. My Grandma also had a
brother his name was Russell and a sister but I don't know what her
name was. Please help me if you can.

Raymond Leroy
Ehrhardt
Chicago, Illinois USA
1915+
My Grandfather Raymond Leroy Ehrhardt along with his sister Ione
Ehrhardt were orphaned by the Eastland Steamship tragedy on July 24th
1915 in Chicago, Illinois.
I'm searching for the orphanage that he was in after that time. I was
told it was "Boys Town" but through my searching I found out
that it did not exist until 1917 and it was in Nebraska. Which does not
seem logical since there were many orphanages in Chicago at that time.
I would like to hear from anyone knowing how to locate a listing of the
1920 census for orphanages in the Chicago Illinois area? And whether
Raymond LEroy Ehrhardts' name appears in any of them?
Thank you!
June 1957 - May, 1958
I am currently writing a book on The Children's Home, that
was located on 141 Oakland Ave. Uniontown, PA. I along with my twin
brother, John, lived there 11 months. We were placed there by our
biological mother. The matron at the time was Mary Connelly. This was a
very loving home. We were taken very good care of and given the love any
child would need. The home closed July 1958. We were adopted into a very
wonderful family. If anyone has any information about this home or lived
there please contact me. Our lives have been a success story. It
actually had it's roots in the County Home during the late 1800's
then moved to Highland Ave, then to 80 McClellandtown Rd. then to 141
Oakland Ave. All residences were in Uniontown, PA. I know the whole
history on this Children's Home.

NICHOLS-NICHOLSON-NICHOLES-
NICHOLAS
WV-OH-PA-NY
1896-
1907
Looking for anything on my grandfather - Robert Nichols(on).
Claimed his name was Nicholson, changed it to Nichols later in his life.
Spelled it "Nicholes" and "Nicholas" a few times too.
He was born August 1896. Supposedly had 2 brothers and they were all
given up to an orphanage together. Mother left them, father gave them
up. Story is he was separated from the 2 brothers because of abuse at
the original home they were left at. Then he ran away.
Earliest true record I have of him was 1907 - he was picked up by a
Sister of St Joseph's Orphanage/Church in Wheeling WV. Told the
sister he was wandering from state to state for a while - I take that to
mean anything in PA-OH-WV. (he was only 11 yrs old!) In mid-60's he
returned to Wheeling area with my grandmother and eldest son to try and
find any records of his brothers. He was told the orphanage was
destroyed by fire and the records were lost... Found his transcripts
from Father Bakers' Victory Home in Buffalo, NY after his meeting in
1907... But where was he before that??
He never talked about it again so details were lost before I was old
enough to ask! He passed away in 1974, and I would love to find his
family to put it to rest...
Thank you for any help you can offer.

I am seeking information about my orphan grandmother, ELLEN
FRANCES KLINE (CLINE) b. 2 Jun 1903 in DC, d. 26 Sept 1996.
She was at St. Ann's in DC from 29 Jun 1903 - 9 Oct 1910
She then was at St. Vincents in DC from 9 Oct 1910 - 19 Feb 1917.
She was discharged to Mrs. Leo Cohill of Hancock, MD.
She married William Henry Kratz in 1927.
If anyone can help at all, please email. I have checked with both
orphanages and have been unable to turn up much. St. Ann's cannot

records saying she came from St. Ann's. Strange.
I am at a brick wall. any suggestions where to look would be appreciated
too.

Easiest way of making money ( $20,000 to $50,000 ) in 4 - 6
weeks!
From: [email protected]
AutoWorldDiscussionBoard: Just post the article
Date: 31 Jan 2003
Time: 05:19:29
Comments
ahbliss here.
I am having enormous success with a program that I would like you to
investigate.
Just have a look at what I received in the first place, that is this the
original message, that I have changed a bit before forwarding it to you,
you will have to do your bit of changes before sending it further.
. .
Make from $20,000 to $50,000 in 4 - 6 weeks!
By using a simple secure internet account called Paypal that takes only
seconds to join and seconds to get you started instead of the time and
effort it takes to send it by post. JOIN Paypal at:
https://www.paypal.com/refer/pal
(This is my referral URL, you will get a similar one of your own once you
have successfully signed up at paypal. For each person signing up using
this URL I will get $5 deposited to my account. I�m being honest here.
The same would go for you as well. Once you have got your referral URL
replace this URL with yours and any body signing up using that URL would
mean additional $5 added to your account )
I�ve actually taken the 10 minutes it requires to join this wacky bunch
of optimists and I�m hoping that there are others out there who will
spare the change to try this.
READ ON. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. "A
little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars
within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought,
"Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was
curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to
each of the 6 email addresses stated in this article. You then place your
name and address at the bottom of the list at the #6th position and email
it to as many people as possible, by advertising this page in as many
ways possible, and posting this message (with your email address in the
list) in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that
was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I
thought about trying it. I figured "what have I got to lose except
$6.00, right?" SoS I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!
Within days, I started getting money coming into my Pay Pal account! JOIN
at:
https://www.paypal.com/refer/pal
I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept
coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00 which means that 25
people joined the group after they saw my posted messages. By the end of
the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I
had over $10,000.00 and it�s still growing. This is now my fourth week
and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it�s still coming in
rapidly. It�s certainly worth $6.00, and the 5 seconds it took to join
Paypal. I have spent more than that on the lottery!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.
Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
information off of it, as you need it. I promise you that if you follow
the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you
thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire
message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple
directions and watch the money come in! It�s that easy. It�s legal. And,
your investment is only $6.00. IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is
not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk- it really
works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will
receive extraordinary dividends. AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE: Follow these
directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days.
This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of
the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to
the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In
this business your product is not solid and tangible, it�s a service. You
are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations
are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1:
Take 5 seconds 2 join Paypal. https://www.paypal.com/refer/pal
The Internet's most trusted Internet banking system for your future
income. When creating your Paypal account make sure you use the same
Email address as your user name in the list below so people can send
money to your account. Once you have a Paypal account running, use Paypal
to post $1 to EACH of the 6 Email Addresses below because you pay people
with and email address in Paypal. To do this you may need to use a credit
card, which is very easy, and secure so nobody but Paypal may see it. If
you don�t have a credit card show this great lucrative offer to someone
that has one and get them to help you pay the $6. What you are doing is
creating a service. This is absolutely legal! You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a
little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all.
But I looked around and did some homework and found it was perfectly
legal.
Here are the 6 individual Email addresses that you have to send $1 to
through Paypal for this to work properly and for you to receive money.
(If you don't send the money and decide to post the message with your
name in it anyway, Paypal will instantly pick this up and terminate your
account. If you did this you could get into serious trouble because it is
fraud. So follow the instructions and post the $6 and you will make lots
of money with no hassles). referral program fee
1.) [email protected] 2.) [email protected] 3.) [email protected] 4.)
[email protected] 5.) [email protected] 6.)
[email protected]
STEP 2 Now take the #1 Email Address off the list that you see above,
move the other Email Addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and
add YOUR Email Address as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3 Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close
to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least
200 newsgroups (there are 24,000 groups to submit to). And email your
message to as many people you can. But remember, the more you post and
email the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any
doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal lottery
laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need
money, you can use it again and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering
to the directions. You are simply paying into a money making chain of
participants and if the chain is broken you are screwing someone else out
of their fair share. So, as each person who joins the family and the
directions are followed, six members will be reimbursed for their
participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. You then insert
your Email Address into the list and it will move up geometrically so
that when your name reaches the #1 position you will have potentially
received thousands of dollars in your account!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above). To
begin, please send your joining fee now and then add your own Email
Address to the list and you�re in business!
DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS, GUESTBOOKS AND FORUMS
STEP 1- Copy and use this same letter to make your own posts in other
forums and newsgroups. Just drag your cursor from top to bottom and right
click your mouse to cut and paste it to a word document or notepad file.
STEP 2 - Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try search for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, Discussions).
STEP 3 -Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message
by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting �PASTE� from the
edit menu. Fill in the Subject, (this will be the header that everyone
sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group),
click the post message button. You�re done with your first one!
Congratulations That is it! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it. It will take
about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200!
That is it! You will begin receiving money in your account from around
the world within days! JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.
Now The WHY Part
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example).
So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with
my name at # 5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, this
is an additional $25.00 for me. Now those 24 each make 200 minimum posts
with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each. This brings in an additional
$125.00. Now those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with
my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional
$625.00. Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a
MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each.
That just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per
200 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an investment
of only $6.00!! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you
just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another
$6.00 to Email Addresses using Paypal on the list, putting your name at
number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is that
thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and
reading these articles everyday. JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW!! So, can you
afford $6.00 to see if it really works?? I think so! People have said,
"what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So
what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new
honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and
newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? : Anyway, it is
only $6.00 for a chance at thousands. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000
new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.
There's no use trying to cheat for only $6.00
. .
So this was the message.
I found it to be a pretty easy way of making money. I joined it a week
ago, you can even see the first letter that I had sent at a few business
news groups, since then I�ve had 718 dollars deposited to my paypal
account (that includes the one dollar mails under this program and 5
dollar mails under PAYPAL referral program) which is not at all bad as
compared to the investment I made in the beginning that is $6.
Give it a thought.

Pennsylvania, upon reaching work age he worked as a miner prior to
enlisting in the military. To help me find out the history of my father,
I am trying to identify his home town or county.

1891)and Harry Monroe (bn 4-11-1888), daughter and son of Eugene B.
Monroe & Rose McDaniel Smith Monroe, were placed in an orphange in
Aug 1897 by her mother, Rose Monroe. Eugene Monroe died abt 1896. We
feel the orphange was in the Yankton area of South Dakota because the
mother was in the Yankton area in 1900 per the S.D. Federal Census,
however this could be wrong. We have information about the mother after
1897 and no where is Rose Jane mentioned. We know the outcome of Harry
Monroe however, can find nothing about Rose Jane Monroe. Does anyone
know the names of orphanages in the Yankton or surrounding counties?
Does anyone know of Rose Jane Monroe? Thank you in advance for any
information you can supply.

1920-1940
I'm looking for information about my father Daniel A. Pieper
and his siblings,Glen, Robert, Ruth, Mildred. I believe they were placed
in an orphanage in the years listed due to the fact that their mother
passed leaving them to be raised by the father John Pieper. The mother
was Nellie Neice/Niece. Is there anyone with this information out there?
I think it's this area because it's where my dad entered the
service, Navy, and attended high school, Oregon h.s. Oregon, Illinois.
His Navy records list Quincy and Elgin as residences as
well.

Hebrew Sheltering Guardian Society
Westchester County
1920 and maybe
before
I am looking for a possible twin to my mother. My mother has
passed away in 1961 and it has come to light she may have had a
twin(likely passed away by now)
My mother was born in 1909 in Boston, MA and may be one of a twin. The
twin may have ended up in New York at the Hebrew Sheltering Guardian
Orphanage, Westchester County, New York.
She was there in 1920 age 11 but don't know when she actually went
there or was discharged.
Her name was Ethel Cohen but her last name at birth was Shenker.
So it was changed at the orphanage or by someone else.
My mother's name at birth was Ethel Anna Shenker or Anna Ethel
Shenker.
If this rings a bell with anyone please contact me.
Thank You

I'm looking for information on my grandmother, this is the only

one she could rebember her speaking much about was sister named Maggie.
They were all placed in an orphanage. I don't know if it was because
the death of her parents or just that for what ever reason, they
couldn't take care of them.
she was 4 or 5 or so and didn't remember a lot herself. Also, she
had been adopted out.
She had that she remember at lease one foster family prioir to the
adoption. She had originally celebrated her birthday on the
grandma's of her adopted family's as she didn't remember own.
They disowned her when she married my great grandfather
Charles Emery McIntire, so she took his birth as her own.
I believe the year is right (1890). If anyone knows any information
please contact me. thank you Jaye

just out side of Houston Tx I think it was around Dayton Tx

early 1930 until 1946
My grandmother and her siblings where put in a orphanage just
outside of the Houston area.my grandmother was born in 1922. I was told
that when her mother died or just before they were all put in this
home.My grandmother would have been around 10. I was told that this place
was in the Dayton TX area. which is not far from the Houston area. I am
not sure how many places that was around this time period. Im sure not
many. The other siblings were Leroy Hancock - Dorothy Hancock-Hubert
Hancock. The fathers name was Hubert Alonzo Hancock and the mothers name
was Dora Lee Brown.I was told that the mother at the time was placed in a
place for people who had TB .this was the cause of her death. She was
only 33 at the time. If you might know about this place it would be
helpful also.I am not sure how to search for this kind of place.But my
main search is for this home.and some records of such a
place.
Hirthey
Protestant Orphan Asylum of Pittsburg and Allegheny
1900
Amelia Hirthey is my husbands Great Grandmother. I have had
trouble finding her name listed anywhere. I just decided to type her
name into the MSN search engine (after taking a long break from
genealogy) and the link came up to that particular orphanage. Rather
surprised the months matched up for her birthdate and the site gave a
year of 1883 which I did not have. The year seems to coincide with the
age of her husband. She died rather early on in life and I have a death
date. The location I have for the husband is Wolcott, Wayne Co., NY and
also Cleveland Ohio. It will take a bit more research before I am sure
this is the person. But I have good feelings. Thanks for all the
hardwork. Julie Hester

I have a long story, please take time and read about this puzzle
that I'm trying to solve.
On my Dad's side of the family, I started with Dad's parents and
sisters, which I have never meet and they never meet me or my brother.
One of my puzzles is this:
My Dad kept in his wallet his SS card and the stub to the card. On the
stub he wrote his mother's maiden name: Mary Brown and then he had
Carl Hodge and Philadelphia. Something doesn't sound right with this.
Why would you write your parent's names and your place of birth?
I went to the SS office and they gave me this information about my
Dad's SS number:
Date Issued of the card is 11/1956 in Florida
Dad's name = Frank Carl Hodge
Parent's names are Mary Brown and Carl Hodge (Dad's SS number is
261-60-8971) Dad's DOB 1-25-1928 in Philadelphia, PA. DOD - May 1988
in Charleston, SC (I
knew my Dad all my life.)
I wrote for my Dad's birth certificate, but they had no record of
birth for the names I provided.
On my Mom and Dad's marriage certificate I have this:
Dad's parent's names are Bill and Irma Hodge living in Detroit,
MI.
Dad's address in 1956 on the marriage certificate is Sumter, SC.
Mom and Dad married in Lincoln, NC on May 17, 1956.
The story my Mom told me was that my dad did something to where his dad
was
going to turn my Dad in to the police, so they got into a fight and my
Dad's Dad kicked my Dad out of the house. Mom said Dad told her he
had gotten into a car wreck in his teens and was in hospital awhile. (I
don't know where.) All of this was in his teens.
My Dad was traveling with the fair at the time Mom and Dad met and
married. My Dad at one time worked were they took taxes out and that was
in Florida in 1956. Dad never worked anywhere else where he had taxes
took out. My Dad would either travel with the fair or had night clubs
here in Charleston, SC. All my Dad's clubs were in my Mom's name.
Dad couldn't or didn't want the drinking license in his name,
etc. Dad was good at covering his tracks. I do know one thing when
traveling with the fair back then everyone had Alabama tags because you
didn't need car insurance. As you see I have nothing to go on without
a birth certificate, etc.
Thank You, Linda Hodge Davis

SUE
Siegel
Louisville, Kentucky
My grandfather, Edward F. Siegel discovered that he was adopted
when he was about 70 years of age (ca. 1975). He was looking for a birth
certificate copy and could not find one. A relative of his mother told
him that he was adopted. He was completely shocked. Apparently, his
mother, Theresa M. Ochs Siegel "just came home with a baby" one
day! I am reasonably sure that he was adopted as an infant, as he was
extremely close to his mother. My mother recalls stories he told about
often being taken as a child to visit a family named Sullivan and thinks
perhaps there was some relationship (maybe an illegitimate child of a
Sullivan daughter?) between the family and my grandfather. The birthdate
that we have for him is 2 October 1905. So far I have been unable locate
a birth record for a male child around that date with a single mother
named Sullivan or for a male Siegel child.
Any clues or research guidance would be appreciated.

Rosanna Margaretta Dehaven (she

Maryland -- believe Baltimore
vicenity
Iam researching my paternal grandmother's family. She was
born in 1897 in Harford Maryland to Charles Dehaven and Ruth E. Stewart.
She and her younger brother John (born 1899)appear with their parents in
the 1900 Census for Harford County. In 1910 she appears in Somerset
County as a "servant girl" on the farm of Samuel Robinson, a
single man whose father was a local physician.
We know from family history that she and her brother John were both in on
"orphanage" sometime between 1900 and 1910 -- and we believe
that it was in Baltimore. We do not know where they were or why they
were there.
After the 1900 Census, we have been unable to find further traces of Ruth
Stewart. We know that Charles lived until 1911, passing away in Harford
County. His obituary and death records do not indicate a wife.
We would like to know what happened to Ruth: did she pass away? (there
are some family stories that she died in childbirth. Did she leave
Charles for some reason? (there are no family stories to this affect,
but my grandmother and great-uncle never gave any hint of knowing about
their father or mother -- although there is at least one picture of the
adult Ruth). Did she and Charles divorce? (have not located divorce
records up to now). Did she remarry and have another family?
As an adult she talked to her children about having "half
borthers," one of whom attended my grandmother's funeral dressed
in his military uniform. Family is not sure of the names of these
siblings, but everyone believes the half brothers were Dehaven's
(that is children of Charles and second wife, not children of Ruth and a
second husband -- although no one living today is sure). At least one of
the half brothers lived in California circa 1950 at the time that my
father passed through there on the way to military service in Korea.
Dad, too, believes the brother's last name was Dehaven.
As part of understanding my grandmother's story, we would like to
know which orphanage she was in and whatever information that source
might convey about the changes in her family.

Johnson
Orphan Asylum Society of Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY
1895-1899
I am trying to trace my Great Grandmother's family and have a
letter she received in 1941 in response to an inquiry about her
parent's. Her name was Bessie Johnson and the letter says that she
was dropped off and picked up by a Mrs. Pentz on a private arrangment.
She was there from 6/26/1895 until 3/1/1899. Bessie (Elizabeth) was
listed of having a birth date of 5/12/1888.
I am confused because I have her mother living with her and her husband
in a census and the mother is listed as Anna Sofia Johnson from Sweden.
I also have a marriage certificate for Anna Sofia Johnson and her husband
Johan Johanson (John Johnson) also from Sweden. I also have a lot of
other information about the Johnson family.
My main question is if it is possible that the mother was only listed as
Mrs. Pentz and was actually Mrs. Johnson? If not, is there a good place
to find out additional information.
Thanks,

was Mary Smith born in NY and her father was Geo. Burnett-porter born in

told me that she came from St. Ann's Orphanage. I have been unable
to confirm this though. I think maybe she may have been place through

Jay Green
Pike County Kentucky--no orphanage that I know of-- was taken in
by a Green Family
1888-??
Ok, I'm researching one of my great grandfathers. The only
known name the family has for him is Jay Green b. 1886 in Pike County
Kentucky. According to family legend, his mother died during childbirth,
and his father raised him until age 2, at which time his father was
killed in a logging accident. Now, he was taken in by a family with the
last name of Green. It is suspected that this family adopted him. But,
was his bith name Green and the family a relation or was he born under
another name? Who were his parents? I'm not sure of the first names
of the people who took him in. I know that at the age of about
24..around..1910 he married my great grandmother Gracie Smith. If anyone
knows how I can find this information, or if there is a relative of the
family who took this child in, please, please contact me.

Looking for information on Duranty Family, Littleton NH. Or
orphanages run by nuns in Bostong between 1890-1925.
My mother was born in September 1920 or 1921 in Littleton NH to a women
with the last name Duranty. My mother was given the name, Winnafred
Duranty as noted on her birth certificate. However, She had been placed
up for adoption and possibly sent to an orphanage (run by nuns) in
Boston, MA. No information was given as to the father.
She was placed for adoption to Mary and Joseph Kirby (Jamacia
Plains,Massachusetts) Her name was then changed to Mary Louise Kirby. We
have correspondence from the lawyers to the town clerk stating that they
wanted the birth records to be changed to reflect the adoptees name.
(Kirby)
Any info on Duranty family or names of Boston Orphanages (Catholic?)
during the period 1900-1925 would be helpful.

Crandall

Ward
1870 (bef and aft)
My Great Grandfather Oliver W. Crandall was listed in the 1870
federal census as a resident of the Orphan's Asylum of New York. He
was four years old. Family stories tell of his parents both dying. He
lived with family for a while and then was put in the orphanage. He
supposedly had two sisters. One story told that these sisters were the
ones who put him in the orphanage. I don't know if there are records
from this orphanage still available or where I might find them. I also
have no information on the sisters. By the 1880 census Oliver Crandall
was living and working on a farm in Marysville, Kansas with the Alexander
family. I would appreciate any information that any one might have of
this orphanage and/or Oliver's sisters.

Roman Catholic Orphanage of Alton, Illinois
1923 to around 1937
I am looking for information on my mother's maternal and
paternal side of our ancestry. I have found some info on her maternal
side, but am having no luck finding the paternal side. Her name was
Frances Louise Mahoney and she had two brothers, Hamilton Eugene and
Gerald Fitzpatrick who were in this orphanage with her. Her mother's
name was Pearl (Plasters) Mahoney, born in Illinois on Jan. 11, 1890 to
Melissa Plasters who was a widow in 1900. Pearl had one full blood
brother, Harry H. Plasters. That family lived in Nadosha, Wilson Co.,
Kansas in 1900. My mother's father was Eugene Fitzpatrick Mahoney,
born in Cork Co. Ireland. I know nothing more about him except that he
was married either before or after Pearl and had at least one child, Mary
Ellen Mahoney Marion. Mary Ellen lived in Jacksonville, Il with her
family until her death sometime in the 1970's or 80's. My
grandfather died in Alton, IL, I think somewhere around 1942-1945. Can
anyone help with anything they know about this orphanage and where I can
get better records? Thanks for any help you can give.

Looking for information on my Grandmother, Viola May Kirby, b.
May 1, 1897. She told a family member once that she was born in Dallas
Texas & grew up in an orphanage. Another family member said that they
thought she had mentioned growing up in a Louisianna orphanage. Other
than that, she would not talk about her past at all. On her 1st son's
birth certificate, June, 17, 1917, the place of birth was listed as New
Orleans, LA., which would give a LA. connection. On her Social Security
application, she listed her parents as John KIRBY & Alice CRENSHAW. I
have never been able to find anything of their existence, so I don't
know if this was really her parents or maybe she made it up to keep from
listing unknown. She married 1st Ray Clarence LACK in LA. & 2nd

in Archer City, TX. This is my biggest brickwall. Any help more than
gladly appreciated. Thanks!
Dorothy Muriel HILES -
NELSON
Catholic adoption agency in Milwaukee
WI
1921-23
For information regarding my mother's natural parents, my
natural grandparents - Dorothy HILES and Russel NELSON.
On my mother's 1921 Birth Certificate, Dorothy HILES gave her
birthyear as 1902, her birthplace as MICHIGAN, and her profession as
Telephone Operator in Green Bay WISCONSIN
For Russel NELSON, the document gives a birthyear of 1898, a birthplace
of PENNSYLVANIA, and a profession of Linotype Operator in Ft. Yayes,
NORTH DAKOTA
The spelling of 'Russel' (NELSON) may or may not be accurate on
this record. Dorothy HILES may have moved to OHIO following the birth in
Milwaukee WI. One or both of my natural grandparents was, to some degree,
NATIVE AMERICAN (this is a certainty). And one or both may have been
educated in a Catholic or public Indian Industrial School (this is a
speculation).

age 4 adopted by Cyril Parkinson and Edith Turner in Milwaukee or Madison
County, Wisconsin. If there are any researchers or someone that have
access to the adoption records please help. Possibly girls are Clarice J.

1930 census. Birth date is correct in the census but year isn't
perfect. I believe that birth year was changed when adopted.
This is very important to me.
Lauri
WICKS
Lawrence County South Dakota
Not
Sure
Starting in or about 1910 My grandmother MERTIE WEAVER started
placing her children in the South Dakota Childrens Home.
The firs placed was Mary she was b. in 1926 and eventually adopted. Then
Robert about 1911 b. April 24, 1905. Then in 1912 She placed Harold and
Gertie. Harold b. in 1902 and gertie b. 1903. She stated that her husband
Frederick Wicks was dead and had been for a few years. I know that Robert
lived in Deuel South Dakota with a family named Elliott. I believe
Harold was placed with a family named Benson. He is on the 1920 census as
lliving at Mare Island Navel Ship Yard Holspital and in 1930 living in
spearfish with wife Mamie. Gertie I do not find until 1930 living in
Pasadeana California.
These are bits and pieces that I remember as a child.Some told to me by
Robert (my legal father. Gertie eventually moved to Sonoma and she
refused to talk about her early life. As for Mary she was so young that
she didn't remember who she was. From 1912-1930 I have no idea what
happened. I know that Mertie is burried in sonoma, but not under the name
of Wicks.

LOOKING FOR AMERICA
I'm not sure how long I was in the Rose Keller Home Orphanage in
Lakeland, Florida.
Several policeman had come to my Granny and Grandpa's house and took
me to the orphanage. I over-heard them telling the matron that I had been
removed because my Granny had been beating on me almost on a daily basis.
The school teachers, across the street at the Dixieland school, had told
the police that they were afraid that my grandma might beat me to death.
The next day, one of the matrons at the orphanage took me to see a
"special doctor" because I had not been able to speak for
almost a month. No matter how hard I tried, no words would come out of my
mouth. I couldn�t even make any sounds.
We returned to the orphanage after the trip to the doctor�s office. One
of the ladies who worked at the home started yelling at me for no reason.
I was sitting on the top step of the stairs, just like I did everyday;
all day long, just minding my own business. She told me that I was going
on a trip to see America. Still I refused to move. All at once she
grabbed me by the legs and started pulling me down the stairs. My head
bounced on every step as she drug me to the floor below. I was taken
outside and placed into the passenger seat of a waiting car. Then off we
drove.
We rode for what seemed to be forever. She smiled at me, nodded, and told
me that, "We are going to see America together."
We drove for a long, long time. Suddenly she looked over at me and asked
if I liked to eat fruit. All of a sudden she pulled off the road and
turned into a small fruit stand. As she got out of the car she instructed
me to wait and to not touch anything.
I looked over at the wooden stand and saw little American flags all lined
up in a bucket. I climbed out of the car and picked up one of the pretty
flags, waving it around, from side to side, over the top of my head.
"I'm going to see America," I told everyone who would
happen to walk by.
This old man took the flag from my hand and placed it back into the
bucket. Then he picked up a large American flag, almost as big as I was,
and asked the lady how much it cost. She smiled and told him the price.
He reached into his pocket, took out his wallet and paid for it. Then he
handed me the Flag.
"Welcome to America, little boy. This is a wonderful, wonderful
country," he stated.
The lady and I returned to the car and continued our drive to see
America. Again, we drove for hours. Finally she slowed down and we turned
into a set of big white, wooden gates. There were lots of great big high
metal fences around the entire place. All at once she stopped in front of
this big, white, brick building.
This strange looking man and a heavy set woman came walking up to the
car. The man yelled at me, "Don't just sit there. Get your
little ass out of that car!"
As I got out, the man immediately snatched the American Flag from my hand
and threw it onto the ground. I ran over as fast as I could and picked it
up. I began shaking the dirt off my flag.
I told him, in a very stern voice, "The American Flag was never
supposed to touch the ground, and now I would have to burn it like the
rule says."
Once again he snatched the flag from my hand, broke the staff in half,
and threw it back onto the ground. I stood there staring at that
man's mean old face.
I guess I had finally found that "wonderful, wonderful America"
the man at the fruit stand had told me about. I guess our journey to find
America was finally at its end.
Little did I know that even a great country, like the United States of
America, had its own form of terrible concentration camps. Special hidden
little places that people called orphanages. Homes especially built just
for little boys, and little girls that nobody else in the world wants.

Sylvia Meisenger (or Messenger,
Messinger)
Home of the Friendless, Baltimore City,
Maryland, USA
1920 for certain
Wondering if anyone knows of an archive of the residents of the
Home of the Friendless in Baltimore? I've been searching with no
luck. My great-grandmother was a resident there as confirmed by the 1920
census along with her brother John. The last name is recorded as
Meisenger. There was another brother named Frank who at one point was
adopted and changed his name. This apparently ocurred before 1920 since
he does not appear on the census. Other spellings of the last name
include Messinger, and Messenger, however the only documents spelling
I've seen is Meisenger.
I am trying to determine who her parents were. A family member has told
me Juo, and I've also seen John Henry, but no birth/marriage/death
record to corroborate it.

grandparents took care of them, or possibly another family member. If
anyone could possibly help me find what became of these two children as

with Viola Chapin. I have been told that all or some were placed in
either George Junior Republic and/or Children's Home of Cortland.
Also, the first wife of Benjamin,Mabel or Mary,was stricken with a
crippling illness and she was left to a home in this area. Please help,

I am looking for my mother's birth mother and family. My
mother is still alive;
living in Middletown, New York. She was born in 1946. She is now 59.
She would search herself but she does not own a computer. The details
that she was told about her life are as follows: her birth mother was a
school teacher(consequently, so was her adoptive mother, who died a year
ago), her father was in the Navy or Merchant Marines. My mother was born
in White Plains New York. My mother's birth- mother gave her up
because she was unwed. My mother's name was changed to Phyllis Anne
Hultslander when she was adopted. She had blonde hair as a child, a high
forehead, grew to be approximately 5'5'' tall, has a
prominent ridge that runs down the tip of her nose her upper lip. I have
this same trait as does my 9 year old daughter. She
has brown eyes. Her teeth are quite crooked. She has broad shoulders and
slender hips and, again, my daughter and I share this distinctive
feature. Her
feet are a size 8. She was always athletic and strong for a female.
Genetically,
she has always been slender. She is healthy but takes blood pressure
medicine.

WEBER
Pittsburgh, PA
1938-1943?
Hi! I'm searching for anyone who might've known my
mother, Mary Lou WEBER, who lived at a Catholic orphanage in Pittsburgh,
PA from approximately 1938 (upon the death of her mother, who I believe
was named Bridget) until approximately 1943. She was 12 years old at the
time (I think) and was placed there by her father, George Byron Weber, as
were her siblings. I'm not sure how many siblings she had, but they
all would've been born between 1928-1938. I know one was named
Barbara; and there were two boys, George and Jack. If any of this sounds
familiar to you, or if you know how I can determine exactly which
orphanage my mother was in, please contact me. (Is this info available
via the census?) Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make
contact with aunts/uncles/cousins who might have stories to tell. My
mother has passed away. Thank you! Kate Siegel, [email protected] or

of it. Ever. All I know for certain is that she grew up there. When she
turned of age she changed her name to Judy. I have conflicting stories
from my Father, as he is aged and his memories have diminished. I believe
that she had siblings, but am unsure if they were also placed in the
orphanage. I have a desperate yearning for any information. Any
information or resoucres will be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Northern Home for Orphans of Soldiers &

1867?- before
1880
James (g-g-grandfather), Jeremiah & Mary Shea (sometimes
spelled Shay) were placed in the Northern Home for Orphans of Soldiers
& Sailors in Philadelphia after the Civil War, but mother was still
living, we think. Mary stayed and played piano/organ & taught at the
orphanage for many years. Jerry was still a resident at the 1880 census,
but James was gone by then. We'd like to find a record of his
parents' names, & of course any other info about this family.
Does anyone know where the records of these orphanages are to be found? I
understand the Presbyterian Church eventually took control of these
institutions, but they don't seem to have any records in
Philadelphia.

Thomas
Brandon
unknown
born
1912
Thomas Brandon was born 02-17-1912 in Los Angeles, California.
I think he was adopted at age 8 yrs. He was on a census with adoptive
parents in 1930 at age 18 yrs - but not on the 1920 census with them.
He had black hair, green eyes, grew up to over 6 feet tall...
Does anyone know ophans homes in L.A. around that time - how do I
proceed?
Any help appreciated since I know no medical info on his family or him -
due to the fact he died in a car accident in 70's.
Thank You
Compton
Orange Orphan Home, East Orange City, New Jersey
1900
I have been searching for a number of years for the descendents
of Walter Joseph Compton, b January 19, 1860 in
Frome, Somerset, England and his wife Mary Hedrich . Walter immigrated to
America sometime after 1881. My records show they had three children;
Alice Isabel Compton , Margaret Emma Compton , and Edward Hoyle Compton
before Walter died in 1894 leaving his wife and three young children with
very little money. Walter's sister, Alice Lucy Compton, went to the
USA (from England) to help her sister-in-law with the children. The
income of the family was made up of Alice Lucy setting up a school and
Mary Hedrich Compton taking in laundry. They made a success of this and
Alice Lucy returned to England, but was persuaded to return and set up
another school, which she did in Paducah Kentucky. I did find a record of
Alice Isabel Compton teaching in Alice Lucy Compton's Paducah school
in 1908-1909.
Just this week I have found in the Twelfth Census of the United States
(1900) a Margaret E Compton b Aug 1892 , and Edward H Compton b Sept 1891
together in the Orange Orphan Home in East Orange City, NJ. I cannot
confirm positively that these are Walter's children but because the
names are sequential in the census, I assume that they are brother and
sister. The probability that both a brother and sister other than
Walter's would have the same first name and middle initial to my
other references is slim. Also the birth dates are in the right time
frame, therefore I for now am assuming these are Walter's children
and that Mary Hedrich Compton was forced to put them in the Orphan Home
sometime after Walter died in 1894. Any suggestions on how I should look
for the orphan records would be appreciated. I searched the Internet and
that's how I found the orphan website. I would appreciate any help
anyone might offer.

searched and cannot find anything on that particular Home. He also said
there was a fire which destroyed all the files after he left, so it is
not known where or with whom he went to live (maybe a family friend).

Connor/Conner
Oklahoma, possibly Tipton
apx
1941
I have been trying to find information about Grandma's
family. Estelle Connor was born in 1929 as well as a twin that died. Her
mother was Flora Mae Manning Connor and her father was Ernest Gahmo
Connor. They had four more children Mattie, Billie, and Laura, and the
last in 1940 died at birth, as well as Flora due to complications. They
lived in Amarillo Texas at the time. Ernest tried to care for his four
children, but was persuaded by the social department to put the children
in an orphanage becuase they didn't feel that he was capable of
caring for the children alone. He then took the children to Oklahoma
where he had family. His mother was unable to care for the children and
no one else offered to help so he finally put the children in an
orphanage in Oklahoma. If Grandma and her sister are remembering
correctly they believe they were put into an orphanage in Tipton, OK.
Ernest also signed paper requiring that if anyone was interested in
adopting any of the children that they must adopt all four. They children
were never adopted and after Ernest remarried he returned (unsure when)
to take his children to their new home in Arizona. We are hoping that if
we find any information on them that it might help shed more light on
their mother Flora Mae Manning. No one knows who her family was. Any help
would be appreciated.

I am trying to trace any information on GEORGE NELSON GRANT,
Born 1870, Derby England.

been placed in a childrens` home and then sent to Canada, most likely
from either Perth or Edinburgh in Scotland
Any information would be welcomed, thank you

Not really a query, just wanted to share an experience. In 1922,
my great great grandfather became seperated from the family never to
return. No one alive today knows much about him, so I have taken it upon
myself to find him. Through orphantrainriders.com I discovered he came
from the CAS New york. I sent them a letter and they not only responded
with lots of info, they sent me a copy of a letter he wrote them almost
100 years ago! Also they sent me a photo of him, and a letter they wrote
to him. This has helped me greatly. If anyone else has ancestors that
were at the children's aid society NY I encourage them to write and
ask for info no matter how long ago, you never know!

Any information will be appeciated.
I was not an orphan, but am looking for one. As a child my
parents cam to know a brother and sister, Joseph and Mary Martin. We
would celebrate holidays with them and take then on our family vacations.
Their father would not let them be adopted as my parents tried to adopt
Joey. He and his sister were apart of our family. I would like to try to
find them as my mother is still alive at 87 and i know by seeing them
again would do her good. If anyone can help Please contact me.

FOULKS
New
York State
1830-1853
After 3yrs of research into my "Foulks" family, it
occurred to me that the six children of Edward Foulks b 1808 d.1850 and
his wife Eliza b 1814 d 1853, were ages 2 to 14 when their parents died.
And they were possibly either put in an orphanage or "other"
place.
I have the bible of my g grandfather Peter V. Foulks with most birth and
death dates. My search has been mostly around western NY State, nw PA and
ne Ohio eastern MI. This seems to be the areas that Peter inhabited. I
did find an Edward Foulks (oldest) in the Utica area in the 1800's,
butnot much information on him except his burial place. I don't know
if he is the correct Edward at this point. The following are the names
and birthdates of this family:
Edward G. b 12 Sep 1836
William S. b 2 Nov 1838
Peter V. b 14 Feb 1841 (my g grandfather)
James R. b 10 Mar 1843
Moses S. born 28 Aug 1845
Emily J. b 15 Aug 1848
They were all born in NY State. If anyone has any information about any
of them I would greatly appreciate the info. One of the MI census says
Peter's parents came from Holland, but I can't verify this. Than

appears that were a number of other brothers and sisters and that he was

them after their father's death. ALSO! I have a handwritten list of

Myrna
Knootinn
Protestant Orphan Asylum of Detroit, MI
I was wondering if anyone had any information on the Protestant
Orphan Asylum of Detroit, MI. My great grandfather lived there before he
was adopted and we would like to find out who his birth mother is. My
great grandfathers birth name was Robert Knootinn, and his birth mothers
name was Rosalie Knootinn (Not sure if that was a married name or if it
maybe was even a false name.) He was adopted in 1910 by Emil and Emma
Pohl and they then changed his name to Elmer Pohl. Any information would
be helpful. Thank You

William Wilton
Protestant Orphan Asylum of Pittsburg and Allegheny
? Listed in 1880 Census
I've just found my great grandfather, William Wilton, in the
1880 census. He was living in the Portestant Orphan Asylum in Allegheny.
He is listed as being two years old. A 4 year old Eliza Wilton is listed
with him. He is listed as being born in Penn., and his parents as having
been born in England
My questions:
1. What information exists pertaining to his history in this facility.
2. Do any records contain information on his parents?
3. Would his and Eliza's names be their birth names? or were they
given names? The reason I ask is because Willam's death certificate
lists his parents as Richard Searles and Elizabeth Parson, both of
England. However, I have found death certificates very unreliable.
It is so sad to think of a two year old in such a place. Thank you.

Helen Caroline
Brown
Wisconsin Home Finding Society, taken over by
Orphan and Rescue Home, Green Bay, Wisconsin
February 21, 1924
I am searching for my maternal grandmother's adoption
records. She and I have tried, to no avail, to find the records, her
search dating back to 1949. GHranny was adopted in 1925 by Erwin Louis
Rohloff and Nora Esther Raddant Rohloff.
Born Helen Caroline Brown, February 21, 1924 at the Clara Barton Hospital
in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The mother, Helen C. Brown, was born at
Marshfield, Wisconsin, American by nationality, and baptist by church
affiliation. Occupation was a nurse, residence was Marshfield.
On June 5, 1924, Helen Carolyn Brown was placed in a foster home by the
name of Groenevald. Later she was placed in a foster home with Erwin
Louis Rohloff and Nora Raddant Rohloff, later adopted in on February 5,
1925.
The mother kept in contact, three letters inquiring about the welfare of
her daughter are mentioned in the letter Joyous received from the State
of Wisconsin Department of Public Welfare.
In August 1924, the mother wrote that she was a nurse in Milwaukee and
wanted to continue to remain in Green Bay, but moved to Milwaukee to find
work.
In November of 2004, I received a reply (and a check that cleared the
bank for 75 bucks, for nothing)from the State of Wisconsin Department of
Health and Family Services stating that no information was found, that
"it appears the original Wisconsin Home Finding Society and Orphan
Rescue Society records were destroyed".
My leads: 1). On February 12, 1924, a woman named Mrs. S. D. Moseley
wrote to the "Children's Home at 702 South Webster Street, Green
Bay, Wisconsin, explaining that there was a young lady of her
acquaintance who needed help because she was pregnant. She asked whether
it would be possible for this institution to help her. I looked for the
Moseley family in the census, the Head of house hold ws Seldon D.
Moseley, wife was Caroline, three daughters, Helen, Emma, and Inez. Odd
coincidence that the mother and daughter were named Caroline AND Helen.
Could Helen have been married to a Brown, maybe got divorced, or gave
birth out of wedlock and used a different name?
Lead 2). Helen Brown listed as single and a nurse in Milwaukee in 1930
census, working aat Milwaukee Asylum for the Chronically Insane. Helen
Moseley cannot be located without a marriage record.
Anyone with any information on these Orphan's Societies, or on an
adoption in the Brown or Moseley families, please contact me with
ANYthing.
Thanks!

Rogers/Rodgers - foster name:
Tribble
Knoxville, TN or Jackson County,
AL
1875-1880 abt
My Grandmother: Janettie Rogers/Rodgers by birth was born in or
near Knoxville, TN in 1875 or 1876. Only known facts are: she was
"orphaned as an infant or young child" and raised by another
family and used their name as her maiden name up until her marriage. She
was fostered by Benjamin and Nancy Tribble of Jackson County, AL, was
raised by them and was eventually married in that county. Family lore
has it that "something happened" to her biological
parents....we do not know their first names......we have come up with
many possible scenarios, but simply do not know how she got from
Knoxville, TN to Jackson Co., Al or at what point, at what age she was
when fostered. We do find her with her foster family in 1880. There is
a possibility that she was in an orphanage before being fostered, but
have no idea who to contact. Also, she may have had a brother, one year
older whose name was "James". She was called
"Jennie". If you have any information or suggestions, please
email me: [email protected]. Thank you.

Kane, MacKane, McKane,
O'Kane
Brooklyn or Schenectady, New York
USA
1888-1908
I have reason to believe my grandfather George Andrew Kane was
orphaned in Brooklyn, NY and later transferred to and upstate Catholic
orphange near Albany or Schenectady. As far as I know he was born
somewhere in Brooklyn during Sept 1891 to George A. Kane and Roselyn
Mearns (Nearn). The year 1891 shows up on several legal documents
however he was known to use other dates in the 1890s and 1888 for some
reason. I have never been able to find any information concerning his
birth in Brooklyn nor information regarding his parents. This leads me
to believe he may have been born out of wedlock. He mentioned to some of
his children being in an orphanage with Catholic Fathers early in his
life. Sometime during this residency he was befriended by Helen Cunard
later Helen "Nell" Riely which he called "his
sister". She was married to Frank Riely and resided in the Troy, NY
area.

Klina
Indianapolis Orphan's Asylum, Marion County,
Indiana
unknown
My grandmother, Marie Klina, is listed on the 1910 US Census as
an "inmate" at the Indianapolis Orphan's Asylum. She had a
brother William Benjamin Klina and a younger sister, possibly
"Catherine". The story I have been told is that all were put
in the orphanage because their mother could not care for them alone. I
found William in the 1910 US Census living with an Aunt and Uncle, George
W and Bertha Bell in Cass County, Eel Township. I understand that baby
Catherine was adopted out and I do not find her on any census. My
understanding is that my grandmother stayed at the orphanage until she
was 18 then married my grandfather, Johnie E Carson in 1921. Anyone with
information on any of the Klina's, William Benjamin, Marie Irene, or
"Catherine" in the Indianapolis Orphan's Asylum please
contact me. Thank you.
Fred Smith
New York state to Springfield, MO
1881-
1893?
I am looking for the parents and any other relation to Fred Smith
born 22 Jul 1881/1882 possibly in New York. The birth date is an
estimate made by himself and his family as he had no birth records.
He was part of the "Orphan Train" children who ended up in
Missouri, where he was not adopted so I am assuming he retained his name.
He married and his wife bore 8 children. He worked for the Hazeltine
Apple Orchard south of Springfield. He died 13 Dec 1942 in Springfield,
MO.

soon.
Downey, Thomas
Francis
St. Louis, Missouri
1908
I am desperately looking for any information on my Grandfather
who was adopted by the Downey family (Bernard & Mary) and I am unsure
of what date. He was born in 1908 but I can not find any of them in the
1910 Census. I find the Downey's in the 1900 & the 1920 Census
but I cannot find them in the 1910 Census. They lived on Parin Street or
Pahin Street in St. Louis in 1900 and they lived at 6911 Nashville in
1920. I believe if I could find them on the 1910 Census I would at least
know he was adopted before he turned 2 years old. I do not know what
orphanage he was in, however, I believe he later remained friends with
someone named Charlie Mahoney (or Maloney) into their adult lives. So
maybe this indicates that he was not in the Downey household in 1910? He
was also raised in the Downey house with an older brother, John Downey
that was born in 1899. I have no clue where to go from here to figure
out what orphanage, or what household. There is an old family story that
says he was in the orphanage and his biological parents put him there,
and then later came back to get him after they got on their feet. Does
this make the Downey's his natural parents? Where do I go from here?
I am lost and confused. Any help, suggestions, hints would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

Cooke/Cook
Virginia
1686-1747
I'm Looking to see if possibley , our Robert Cook/Cooke was a
orphan, he was known to be born in Brunswick Co Va, , his death was in
Brunswick Co, Va St Andrews Parish 1747 will probated in 1748. Birth date
is abt. 1702. I beleive that his father was William Cook who was from the
Cook line that came from England, However this William Cook married as
listed Rebecca Jones, but do not beleive that Rebecca was Our Roberts
mother,It is possible that with all that I have found that Robert was
what they considered a Bastard child since the record that I have found
with this William and his wife, does not list him as child, however
William Cook b. 1677 died in 1740 in Surry Co Va, it is my thought that
he and Robert parted ways and that is why he is not listed in
William's Will. I have seen Orginial Papers from the this Cook line
that suggest that Robert was the son or Brother of this William but,it
would be impossible for him to have been a brother to this William.I have
not been able to link for sure , Any help would be greatly
appreciated

My grandmother, Alta McKelvy and James Penwell, from Ireland and
England had 5 children, 2 girls and 3 boys. After the birth of the last
boy, all the children were put into an orphange in Chambersburg, PA. My
mother, stayed there for 4 yrs and then was adopted by a Judge Alex
Simpson from Philadelphia, PA. They changed her name to Peggy M. Simpson
and lived in Overbrook, PA My mother was born Dec. 14, 1916... it would
have been around 1920- 1924 that she was adopted. Her mother had died
after the last baby and her father was unable to care for his 5 children.
All were adopted out to good homes and I had the pleasure of meeting 2 of
my uncles when I was a teenager. I had one uncle who died on the beaches
of Normandy, WWII, 1945. He is buried in Chambersburg, between his birth
parents and his adopted parents. I have always wanted to know more about
the orphange where my mom had to live for 4 years... I have come across 3
cousins from my mom's side of my family. They are in Chambersburg,
PA and in Baltmore, MD... hoping for some, any info or news, thanks...

Catherine (Kitty) Simms

Cortland, NY.
1840-1900's
My great grandmother Catherine Elizabeth (Kitty) Simms Campbell
was believed to be born in Middlesex, MA. Her mother had another child a
boy whom she kept. Kitty was adopted by Elizabeth (Jane) Simms and
Thomas Simms from Cortland, NY. She later married Richard Campbell and
moved to Miami, FL. She divorced him and married a Mr. Parsons whom I
believe was from Cortland, NY. Later moved back to Florida with Mr.
Parsons after great-grandfather Campbells death. I am trying to find any
information relating to finding her original mother and brother. She was
born in the 1840's and lived into the early 1900's. Appreciate
any assistance as to where to start looking for any records.
ROBERTS
BOSTON, MA, US
20
My grandfather, Thomas A. Roberts, was born March 2, 1910 in
Boston, MA. He had an older sister, Mary Roberts born in 1908. Within a
few months following the birth of my grandfather, both children became
wards of commonwealth of Boston, MA according to a letter I have from
1950, however there is no information as far as which orpahange the kids
were placed in, if/when they were sent to foster homes, etc.
The parents of both children were Thomas A. Roberts, Sr. who resided in
Boston, MA at the time the children became wards of the state with his
brother, Andrew Roberts on Webster St. However, the letter clearly
states there was no info available about the mother, M. Roberts.
Any information or directions you can provide with respect to checking
resources would be very helpful. I am in Florida, unable to travel to
MA, though I would be willing to look up info in FL as an exchange.
Please write if you can think of any leads.
Thank you for your time,

I just have a question about this orphan stuff what if a mother
has signed a mans name to the birth certicate but at the time the man
that she signed his name thinks he is not the father? At this time the
child was adopted but the papers say orphan on them the court house where
we are located said they are closed.
I found out after my mother died this past May, 2006 that I have
a sister that would have been born in 1948 or early 1949.....her birth
mother would have been Helen Mae Dawes and she was at a home for unwed
mothers in the Kansas City area...The baby may have been adopted to a
family from Jefferson City MO and her name may have been Judy. My mother
was from a small town called Stockton and returned there after having the
baby. This was a family secret until my mother died.

Need advice on what steps to take next,
G,grandfather, Frederick John Hurley was taken in as a farm hand. First
seen in the 1900 population census for Litchfield Twp., Litchfield Co.,
CT, listed as a farm hand for a John Hurley.
He supposedly had a brother , Arthur, and sister May/Mae.
Family story: parents died young, Frederick was taken in by John Hurley,
never adopted, but took his surname, and never knew what became of his
siblings.
Of all records searched, Fred was born in May, 24th or 26th of 1882-1886
in New Haven, CT. (these are all records prior to 1900 census).
Mother's maiden was supposedly Mary Curry.
I have searched everywhere!!

We need some help. My brother and I just found out that we were
"dropped off" at a place that we remember as "Mrs.
Billings" house. There were at least 40-50 kids there of all ages.
We remember the place being big, boys side and girls side playgrounds. We
think it was either in Denver or Colorado springs and we were there in
late 1963 and 1964 (maybe even 1965) I remember it was a terrible storm
outside on the election night with Goldwater. We are trying to find out
anything about this place. Any help would greatly be appreciated.Our
mother did finally retrieve us in 1965.

Colburn Coburn
Indiana or Michigan or Wisconsin or possibly Ohio
I am trying to find the parents of my great grandfather, Alonzo Colburn.
Alonzo was said to have been born in 1853 in Ft. Wayne, Allen Co., IN.
The history that we have is: Alonzo was orphaned at an early age. A
minister gave him and his siblings to different families to raise. If
this is true, his parents must have died together or close in time, to
have made no provisions at all for the children. I believe he had two
sisters named Emmaline and Sarah. Alonzo didn't care for his living
arrangements, and at about the age of 12 years, he set off on his own. He
ended up in Menominee, MI where he married Elizabeth Kinney on May 28,
1878.
On their marriage license, he lists a Joel Colburn as his father. This is
all we know about him. There is no record of him that we can find in Ft.
Wayne or anywhere in Indiana. I have found a reference to a Juel Colburn
(may be misspelled) in Ohio once. If Alonzo did leave at such an early
age on his own, Ft. Wayne may just be a place he remembered and thought
he was born in.
He and Elizabeth had the following children: (Some of the names they gave
them may have been from siblings he remembered)--- Chester Arthur (my
grandfather); Orville; Estella; Alonzo, Jr; Albert; Emma; Margaret;
Grace; Alice; George; Laura; and Francis Laurence. Does anyone have
anything that may be a clue to this part of my family? Or a direction to
go in? I would desperately like to find some answers and some siblings
for Alonzo. They may have even come down from Canada, we don't know.
But we think his parents came into New York from Ireland in the early to
mid 1850's. He was Catholic, we think. He married a Catholic and the
family on that side has stayed Catholic.
Thanks for any help. Jane Limerick Monroe Littleton, CO
Annie Stanley
Dublin or Kildare
1870-1880
My great-grandmother Annie Stanley was an orphan who came from
Ireland to Lancashire, UK. She marrried in 1892 (in England) and was born
around 1869, I think in Dublin, but she had connections to Kildare
(probably Naas). Does anybody know where I can find details of orphanages
in Dublin (or possibly Kildare), as I think she may have been in a
convent here before coming to the UK?

Casley
Mobile AL USA
cir 1879 to circa 1886
My g-grandmother, Mary Frances McQuillen (numerous spellings)
died when my grandmother, Mary Estelle 'Stella' Casley, was about
one year old. Stella lived in a Catholic Orphanage in Mobile AL from
circa 1879 to circa 1885 and was adopted when she was about eight years.
My mother began working on her family genealogy during the 1970's and
I have continued this project for about 25 years. We have tried to find
records of my grandmother during the period when she was at the
orphanage. We have a death certificate for Mary Frances McQuillan,
Stella's mother.
The story told to my mother was that after Mary Frances' death, John
Casley, Stella's father, went to seek a job in Boston and temporarily
left Stella with a friend in Mobile AL. John Casley died before he could
return for Stella. I believe the friend took her to the Catholic
Orphanage. The 1880 Census record for Mobile AL indicate that Mary Stella
Casley, age 8, had been adopted by Mr. James Peeples, and also that she
was a boarder. My mother indicated in her genealogy work that her mother,
Stella, never told her that she was adopted, only that she lived at the
orphanage until she was hired to do housework for a family. Around 1900,
Stella married Edward Walter Holt. Walter's mother died when he was
nine months old.
When I was a child, my grandmother and grandfather lived in our home in
Montgomery. I remember my grandmother walking to church daily. My mother
also told me that Stella worked at home as a milliner.
If anyone can help me find the records for Mary Estelle Casley, my
grandmother, during the period she was in the orphanage in Mobile AL, it
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Patricia Newton
daughter of Edna Mae Holt,
granddaughter of Mary Estelle Casley.

I am looking for more information about an Andrew Lewis Weedall.
He was orphaned due to his father, Lewis/Louis Henry Weedall, dying in
WWI of disease in France and his mother, Maud (Middleton) Weedall, dying
of the influenza epidemic in 1919. I believe his birth was December 1916,
although his medical death certificate states it as 1906. Later, he was
married to Florence Lott and had two children, Robert Weedall and Dennis
Weedall. If you can give me anymore information about either the
orphanage in Normal, IL or Andrew Weedall, I would greatly appreciate
it.

Isabel Hague

census
Her parents were Margaret Ross born 1863 Virginia City, NV and

Hague born 11/3/1887 in Storey Co, NV. Her uncle Robert Ross was living
in Tombstone AZ in 1880 and her grandmother, Isabella McKay Ross Norrie
was living in Carson City, NV in 1900. WHy was she in an orphanage is
San Francisco? I cannot find her in any later census records so far.
Would like to talk to any descendants about the Ross family from Maine
and England and possibly from Canada. If her grandfather is the correct
William Ross born 1825-1830 in England, Maine, or Canada(it's
complicated) she may be my grandmother's second cousin.

Austin
North Carolina
b: Nov 27
1930
I am looking for a woman who was born Nov. 27 (give or take 2
days) 1930 in Unionville (Goose Creek), North Carolina. She was named
Hazel Lee Austin and was the daughter of James Clyde Austin and Lela (or
Leila) Rogers Austin. A few days after Hazel was born, her mom died. Her
father, feeling overwhelmed, gave Hazel to family and left for Florida.
He promised to send money back to support Hazel but didn't. So..the
family adopted Hazel out. I dont' know if she kept her last name
(Austin) or if she took up another name. All I DO know is that she later
got married. I'd sooooo like to unite my mom (who is 77) with Hazel.
They would be cousins. I have heard from family members that Hazel is
still alive. But..these "family members" can't seem to
remember what her last name is and where she lived last. They lost touch
with her after she was adopted out.(They are very old and have problems
remembering.) Please, can you help me somehow??

Andrew J. Lutz (Adopted
Name)
Pittsburgh, PA
1892 -
1900 (Approx)
I am trying to find information for a friend. Andrew J. Lutz,
was her father. He was adopted by the Lutz family from an orphanage in
the Pittsburgh area sometime around 1900. He never knew his birth parents
or their names.
I would like to know how difficult it is to obtain records that are 100
years old. I know some records in Pennsylvania are closed. I have
printed out rosters from several orphan homes from this website but not
knowing his birth name it doesn't help much.
Andrew J. Lutz was born August 15, 1892 - his military records show his
birth place as Hayesville (McKeesport), PA He later lived in Homer City,
PA and married Myrtle Bair and they had several children.....however,
none has ever persued research on on Andrew's real birth parents. My
friend, Sarah Lutz Keeno is curious to find out what their family name
would have been.
Any help on locating an orphan original birth certificate would be
appreciated.
This website is wonderful.....at least I was able to find some rosters.
God Bless every person trying to locate family members. The orphan
stories are heart breaking - it would be interesting to know if some
original notes posted received results.

I am trying to locate my uncle. My grandmother who has passed
away was Edith (Julian) Lee, she gave him up for adoption when he was
born in 1934 in Knoxville, TN. The only thing that I have heard is that
his birthday may have been in July and that at the time of his birth my
grandmother called him Billie Joe or Billy Joel. My mother, died in
1994, she was 2 years older than her brother and I made her a promise
that I would try to locate him. Mom said that she was told that he had
been adopted by a preacher and his wife that possibly lived in Kentucky
or North Tennessee. This is all hearsay. Would love any info on
him!!!

1919-????
Looking for any information on my father CHARLES ANTHONY SEMPRICH
or STANLEY ANTHONY SEMPRICH, my UNCLE ANTHONY WILLIAM SEMPRICH and my
AUNT JANE MARIE SEMPRICH that were orphaned in 1918 when my grandmother
died from the Flu Epidemic of 1918 and my grandfather John Egnatious
Semprich abandoned the three babies ages 2,4,6 on the streets of
Cleveland,Ohio. It has been said that my Aunt Jane went to one of the
Catholic Charities and nothing about my dad and uncle. What I have been
able to research shows my grandmother Mary Semprich dying in 1918 and
finding nothing on the children until 1930 when they all show up at the
Fitz Brothers Dairy Farm in Castalia, Ohio. Up until then nothing is
found, so I would like any and all information on Catholic Charites
Orphanges and all other orphanges in the Cuyahoga County Cleveland area.
Also, maybe out there is someone who stayed at the same orphanges my dad
and uncle and aunt did that would contact me. I really need help in
finding where they were at that time and with who. Also if anyone knows
anything about my grandfather who came over here from Austria, Poland
John Egnatious Semprich, and married my grandmother Mary Pryzbylski and
from what I know always lived in the Cuyahoga County, Cleveland area
until 1940 when he married Ida Mae Quinn and went to Florida, retired and
died there. I know very little about him. All help and information is
greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much

Her parents were Robert Montgomery and his wife Mary (Wilson). We have

happened to them. Are there any records still existing from the
Orphanage? My recent contact with the Philadelphia Gov't was handled
with extreme rudeness (bad day at the office I suppose)and proved
fruitless. Thanx in advance for any suggestions concerning my Maternal
grandmother.

Seeking info on Robert William Pegues/Smith (b. 5 May 1878
Dallas, Dallas Co., TX) and his sister, Alice (b.1875 Dallas, TX-d. ca
1891 Aurora, Lawrence Co., MO). Parents' names were William and
Mollie(?) Pegues, from Dallas, TX (listed in 1880 Texas Census)
About 1886, they were moved to Aurora, MO., and the home of Mr. J H Smith
(who supposedly ran a shoemaking industry, and possibly took in
foundlings and orphans).
They lived there until Alice died from TB and pneumonia (she is buried in
the Smith family plot somewhere). Robert left to go west.
Did Smith run a business, or a workhouse? Where is he buried? How many
other children lived there (I know of at least one other girl), and why
were William and Alice sent east to MO?

approx. 1915 - 1917
My father, Harold Agger, was placed in Fairchild Home for
Friendless Children in Watervliet, NY about 1915. At some period he was
sent to Port Arthur, Ontario (now Thunder Bay),where he was raised by a
family named Killins. I wonder how and why he was sent such a distance.
Perhaps he was one of the "orphan train" children, or is there
another way children moved betwen the two countries? I was unaware of an
adoption, but found a bible inscribed "to our son, Harold, from
Mother and Father Killins". Dad returned to the states at age 19. He
shared little information about the early years, which leaves many
quesstions unanswered. Appreciate any information. Millie

My dad Charles,(Stanley)Anthony Semprich along with his brother
Anthony William Semprich and my Aunt Jane Marie Semprich were orphaned
after my grandmother died during the Flu Epidemic of 1918 and my
grandfather just up and left the three little kids on the streets of
Cleveland. I know they went to all different orphanges and my aunt was
placed in the Catholic Charities orphange. I cannot find out the name of
the orphanges that were there in 1919-1929 and any help on the names
would be greatly appreciated. My dad never talked about his childhood, so
I know very little except he had it really bad.
I really need to find where they were and for how long as this is a part
of my history and no nothing about it.
My dad is gone now and only have myself to depend on to find out
anything.
Please pass on some information to get me started as I am really up
against a brick wall.
My grandmothers name was Mary Przysbylski
My grandfathers name was John Egnatious Semprich
They could have been placed in any orphange in and around Cleveland,
Ohio.
Thank you

I am looking for information about my great uncle Alva Self. He
was taken from an orphanage in Carrolton, Missouri. He later changed his

from the orphange by James Arvil and Bertha Flo Young McDaniel and moved
to Richland, Missouri. If you have any information I would appreciate
it.

Michael's Home, Staten Island, NY
7
years
St. Michael's Home
- Staten Island, NY
I lived at St. Michael's
Home on Staten Island from 1970 to 1977 - I was in Michael's Group,
St. Jude�s Group, and Kennedy Cottage...
I remember (among others):
Lillian Rivera
MaryAnne Tintorello
Joseph Tintorello (died in about 1980)
Tommy Roberts (my best friend)
Frankie Miranda
Willy Sigarra
Nadine Fuller
Celeste Lee
Keith Robinson
Mimi Rivera
Miguel Santos
...and many more...
St. Michael�s had a profound impact on my life - it has affected the way
I see the world, it is responsible for my incorrigible optimism, and for
my confidence in the persistence of humanity.
Above all there were the counselors who went home every evening and left
us there � when in fact, they stayed with us more than they could ever
know.
I remember:
Above all - Kenny Phillips - who taught me to question blind patriotism,
who educated me about the beauty of "brotherhood" and who I
think about often...
And there was Chuck...
Darrel Taylor - who I know died in the WTC on 9/11
Karen Andriano - who was the kindest human being I've ever met -and
who Lillian Rivera adored...
Ron Pegano
William Cunnngham
�and many many others...
What an age it was - from the death of MLK to Vietnam and Watergate...I
was among the first generation of truly free Americans ever...Black and
Rican - all New Yorkers parked across the street from the biggest dump -
the Arthur Kill landfill, on the planet. Devoid of parents, exposed to a
tumultuous age and innocent mentors, we were indeed, a blessed lot.

I am interested in finding out info about this
school/orphanage/place for difficult girls, etc. My grandmother had a
friend there, also named Agnes, who had one or two sisters there at that
time (1904/05-1910). I would love to hear from anyone who had a relative
there at the same time as my grandmother who could tell me more about the
place. I believe it was run by Sister's of the Good Shepherd. A
Dominican nun who befriended my grandmother placed her there until
Grandmother graduated in 1910. From what I have heard, Grandmother kept
in touch with her friend, Agnes whose last name was either Bailey or
Baylor. This could have been her last name after her marriage or her
actual name at the school. In any event, the two visited with each other
as adults.

DUNN
LOUISIANA / RAISED BY DIFFERENT FAMILIES / 1 IN ORPHANAGE IN
BATON ROGUE
1904 - UNKNOWN
I am looking for information on my Grandmother�s family. My
Grandmother is Cora Lee Dunn. She was born in 1908 in Pineville (Rapides
Parish) Louisiana. She was orphaned at a very young age. Her parents were
Valentine Dunn and Letty (Vestal) Dunn. I recently found out that she had
three sisters, Letty, Irene and Beatrice. (Letty was born in
approximately 1904; Irene approx. 1906; and Beatrice approx. 1911.) I
believe her mother's given name was Laulette. Laulette's parents
were William and Jennet. Beatrice was raised by the Henderson family and
married Hubert Craig. They moved to Cincinnati, OH. Irene was in an
orphanage in Baton Rogue in 1920. (I found this information in census
records.) I haven�t found anything about her other sister, Letty. If you
know anything at all about Valentine (Tine), Laulette (Letty), Letty,
Irene and/or Beatrice, please answer this inquiry. I�d truly appreciate
any information you may have, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
Thank you. Cyndi Henze [email protected]
baby girl
abbott
born in april 1930 in portland,
tennessee
1930
My husband's grandfather, Leonard White, had a sister named
Mary White who married Carl Abbott in March 1930 in Portland, in Sumner
County, TN. She gave birth around April 8, 1930 to a girl and then died
about 4 days later about April 12, 1930. The father, Carl Abbott, could
not take care of the baby girl and Mary's mother had also died a few
years earlier. There were no women to help take care of the baby.
Mary's brother Leonard (my husband's grandfather) always said
that the Red Cross came and took the baby and that he always wanted to
find her but called the Red Cross in the 1970's and they told him
they did not have services like that in the 30's where they would
take babies. It is possible that the baby girl of Mary and Carl Abbott
was adopted and could still be alive somewhere. I cant find any death
certificate on her mother and her father disappeared off the federal
census after 1930. I do not know where he moved to or when he died. Do
you have any information that may help me find where orphans went in
sumner county, tn in 1930???????

Florence Marie Wells McKenzie
November 23,1930-June 25,2005
St. Mary's Home for Girls, Mobile, Alabama
My Mother, Florence Marie Wells, was born in Memphis, Tennessee November
23,1930 to William C Wells and Florence Marie Dumble. She was placed in
an orphange in Memphis and relocated to St. Mary's Home For Girls,
Mobile Alabama in 1934. She was never adopted and lived at this Home
until she graduated from Bishop Toolen High School. The nuns at St.
Mary's always told my mother never to look for her mother as
something terrible had happened and she would be best to leave it alone.
What I have found out so far is that she was an only child of Florence
Dumble, however in the 1930 census a 14 year old stepson, William C Wells
Jr., was listed as living in residence with William and Florence. I would
love to have some childhood photos of my mother as well as hear any
stories about her as a child as well as contacting any extended family to
find out why a 3 year old child was put into an orphanage so far away
from her ancestral home.

I would like to hear from anyone who knew the five Layman
children. George, Bill, Edgar, Mildred and Evelyn. George was my
Father. He was never adopted but remained in the home until the age
they turned them out to live on their own. He died at 32 years of age
the year I was born, 1940. Due to his bitterness over being placed in an
orphanage, he changed the spelling of his last name on my birth
certificate. I was given the name Lehman, rather than Layman. I had
limited contact with Mildred when I was a little girl; she died in the
1960's. I would appreciate any information anyone has on this group
of children. I am almost 67 years old and have wondered about them all
of my life. Thank you.

Hi Debra,
I was reading on of your letters and yes I remember Elise Vasquez, (tall
skinny feckles on her nose, she also had an older sister but I can't
remember her name) Evelyn and Elise Moreno (sisters) they also had a
little sister who's name is Lillian Moreno, (who was at the home),
Maria and Nellie Gonzales (sisters), Mary Belini, Debra Hodges, Angie, I
remember a kathy but I am not sure if it's your sister. Me and my
sister Margie always hunged out with Elise Vasquez, Evelyn Moreno, Elise
Moreno and Nellie Gonzales. In the late 80s early 90s I use to bump into
Nellie Gonzales. At the time she was working in a meat market where she
and I lived. Her children was going to the same school as my children. As
a matte of fact when her daughter became a teenager she was hanging out
with my son (Hector) who is now 28 years old. I have sad news to tell you
but Evelyn Moreno passed away. Elise her I hear stuck up sister married a
wealthy man and lives in Long Island. I heard that Evelyn used to call
her but she did not want to bother with her. Sad, right.
I moved out of my old neighborhood and lost contact with Nellie.
She's the one who told me that Shoreham was going to be a nuclear
plant and that Maria lives in Puerto Rico. I hope to hear from you so
that we may talk more about the home.
PS I e-mail Lillian, Carmen but did not post my letter. If you are
reading this e-mail my name is Carmen Medina, my sisters were also in the
home and their names are Margie Medina, Migdalia Medina and Angie Medina.

Haverty
St. Francis Industrial School in Philadelphia
1910
I am desperately searching for the names of the parents of
William Joseph Haverty and his brother Aloysius Haverty of Philadlephia.
I can find Aloysius ( born in 1895) attending St. Francis Industrial in
1910 and William Joseph ( born in 1893) working at a hospital as a
messenger the same year. These brothers were orphans, I believe, but I
can't find any proof except for the 1910 census. Both brothers moved
to New Jersey and later died there. I can find out everything about them
after 1910 but absolutely nothing earlier than that. Does anyone out
there have anything to share about these people? I am trying to help the
youngest son of William Joseph find his ancestry. He is 76 and has never
known any relatives except his Uncle Aloysius. William Joseph died when
my friend was 12 in 1943. No mention was ever made of grandparents so I
believe they were orphans since Aloysius was at St. Francis.
Can anyone help me, PLEASE? I've been searching for several years. I
will greatly appreciate any help.

Kate Siegel, July 26
2005
I'm actually following up to my
previous post about my mother, Mary Lou Weber.
I have a photo of her outsider her orphanage, which I've just
forwarded to the Catholic Diocese archives in Pittsburgh. They've
been kind enough to tell me that they believe the photo shows her outside
St. Paul's orphanage in Crafton. If anyone would like to see the
photo, taken circa 1942, I would be happy to share it.
I have yet to connect with anyone from the orphanage at the time, or with
any of my mother's family.
The diocese will not give me any further information until 2008, which
will mark 70 years since my mother was put in the orphanage. I certainly
wish they would be more flexible about this issue. If the orphan has
passed away, and you could prove it, why would they not want to share all
information they have? It's confounding. Still, I'm happy they
have an archive and were willing to talk to me at all.
Good luck to all of you seeking info & answers.

My great grandfather was left at the Five Points Mission, along
with a brother and sister by either 1 or both of his parents. He was
evidently the youngest. I have traced him to the House of Refuge and his
records from there indicate that his older brother and sister were sent
West and he was sent to Randall's Island Nursery. I have found him
on the census for the Nursery on Randalls Island in 1870. I believe he
was sent there in 1869 or early 1870. I can not locate records from this
nursery. I do not know what his parents names were. He was born in New
York in October 1863. He was 6 years old on the 1870 census. I took a
trip to New York and went to New Jersey and looked at the records for the
Five Points Mission which they have at the Methodist University. They
are missing many of the records and of course they are missing the
records from the years I need. He was eventually put on the Orphan
Train, from the House of Refuge, they only had him 1 day at the Childrens
Aid Society so they don't have any information on him except where he
was sent and who took him. I need records from either Five Points
Mission 1869-1870 or records from the Nursery on Randalls Island 1868-
1874. Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you for taking the time to
read this rather lengthy message. If I can be of any assisstance to
anybody looking for records in The House of Refuge or records I did find
from Five Points Mission, please free to contact me. Venita

Bales
Argenta, Macon County, IL
1830-
1835
John William Bales was born April 19, 1830 in Argenta, Macon Co.,
Illinois, and died May 10, 1903 in Kankakee, Kankakee Co. Il. He met
Anna Marie Meade January 16, 1853 in Vermillion Co., Il, daughter of
Nathaniel Meade and Anna Crane. She was born October 11, 1836 in
Conkeytown, Vermillion Co. , Illinois, and died May 7, 1918 in Fithian,
Oakwood Township, Vermillion County, IL.
The place of birth of John William Bales is uncertain, apparently
southern Illinois or Tennessee. The mist of history surrounding John is
referred to in the Bales family history by Shirley and Richard Harris,
that John's parents died when he was young and he was raised by
relatives in Georgetown. An unsigned marriage certificate states that
John was 'of Tennessee'. One reference states that 'he was
born near Georgetown. His parents died when he was quite small and that
he was taken by relatives to Georgetown to be raised."
We are trying to find out the names of his parents. These were pioneer
times, so if someone in your family took in a boy orphan between 1830 and
1840 in this area, and you think it might have been John William Bales,
please contact me.
Porter
Rhode Island Catholic Childrens Orphan Asylum
1895-1915 approximately
Does anyone have any information about the orphans that were
here? My grandmother is listed as an 8 year old "inmate" on the
1900 census. She hunted for years to find her "roots" with no
luck. I understand the catholic church still has some records for this
facility but that they are not open to the public. What suggestions do
you have for me?
knepp
Clearfield County Pennsylvania
1989
A woman signed a mans name to her daughters birth certificate. In
return the man signed his rights over to the woman. The paper we got from
the judge states Decree of Orphan does this mean the child was indeed in
an orphanage? The child was born in 1989 was adopted in 1993.This
adoption I believe is closed as you can not find anything on it in the
local court house..

DENNIS
LONG
ST MARYS ORPHAN BOYS ASSYLUM OF NEW ORLEANS
LOUISIANA
1857-1864
I am looking for information on Dennis Long, my great
grandfather. He was in St Mary's orphan boys assylum of new orleans
but I can't find any records of him being there. The only thing I
have been able to find is where a M Hernandaz took him to an orphanage
when he was three, but it doesn't name it. He was also supposed to
have a brother, name unknown, and a sister named Johnanna. She would
have been in St. Mary's for girls. The story is that their parent
died on ship coming to America, but we don't know if this is true.
We would like to find a record that says he was in St Marys and also
his parents name.
He is a puzzle on our geneology and we really would like to find out more
about him. It was told that he ran away from the orphanage with his
brohter. I find him in Morehouse parish La later, and he married , but
then later she died and he married Liddie Buloock, my great grandmother
and they lived in Union Parish Louisiana.
I would appreciate any email that might help me with this .

Andrew Lewis
Weedall
Children's Home (Illinois Soldiers and
Sailors Children's Home (ISSCS)), Normal, Illinois, USA
(1919-1925)? - 1926
My grandfather, Andrew Lewis Weedall, was orphaned in 1919. I
have some records (letters and documents) from both the guardian of Lewis
and the orphange, Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Children's Home
(ISSCS), in Normal, IL, USA during 1926.
I am trying to determine what may have happened to Andrew between 1919
and 1926, when I have letters from. Additionally, I have found that
Andrew's grandmother, Maria Weedall (nee Jenkinson), traveled from
England after learning of both parents' deaths and tried to
"rescue" Andrew. However, she returned to England empty-
handed. Therefore, I am also trying to determine what reasons would
cause her to be unable to bring her grandchild back to the
family.
Arthur and Edward
Breen
between 1890 and
1900
Our family history goes like this: David Breen and Catherine
Goddard were the parents of my grandfather James Patrick Breen. Sometime
around 1890, when he was 12, they divorced and placed their two youngest
children Arthur and Edward in an orphanage. James and his older sister
Catherine made arrangements with the sisters (possibly Sisters, ie nuns)
to keep the boys while they earned enough money to get them out and
support them. I am interested in seeing if this story is true. The
children were born in Norwich CT, so I am assuming that the orphanage
would be in Connecticut. And the reference to "sisters" makes
me think it is probably a Catholic orphanage. I have checked the roster
pages on here with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Lucy Margaret Tacy
(Tessier)
Massachusetts US or Quebec,
Canada
1884- ?
Another request for verification: My grandmother, Lucy Margaret
Tacy was the daughter of Lewis Tacy and Maria Leno (Leneau?) and was born
in 1881. Her mother died approx 1884. Family oral history states that
Lucy and some of her siblings were placed in an orphanage, possibly in
Quebec (maybe Montreal or Quebec City) until her father remarried. At
that time, he took his children back to live with him. Other Tacy
children who may have been in the orphanage with her Clara, Delia, Rose
(or Rosa) and Lewis (may be spelled on roster as Louis). I think this
may have been a Catholic orphanage because there is reference made to
"Sisters" when the subject is discussed in our family.
Any information would be appreciated.
Sommer

appreciated.

Durand
Syracuse, New York, USA
apx.
1926
I am searching for any available records for my father, Robert M.
Durand, and my uncle Edward H. Durand. Their father died when they were
like 3 and 6 and were left in the care of their mother, now a widow. My
father and my uncle spent about 2 years in Providence House, a orphanage
for boys ran by the sisters of St. DePaul. I want to know when and why
they were there, as well as who put them there, their mother or
grandmother. The whole story sounds strange to me and the family has
different theories going around. I would like to get at the truth.
Anybody with information on Providence House or anything more specific
may e-mail me at [email protected].

Looking for a man named William Harry Durnell or Kovac. He was
born on April 20th or 22nd, 1947 to Shirley Joanne Durnell of Butler
County, Pa (possibly Meadville at that time) and Alfred Joseph Kovac
(Denny's Corner). Alfred was in the Army at the time he was born. I
do not believe that Shirley and Alfred were married at this poitn in
time. She was just 16 maybe 17 when he was born. Story says he was
taken from Shirley and place in the St. Joseph's Orphange on West 6th
St., in Erie, Pa. I have no idea what happened to him.
Please if any of this information rings a bell, please contact me
immediately.
I've been searching for him since I was 16 and I'm now

Creehan/Crehan/Crean
Ireland to New York 1847;
Clermont Iowa by 1870; possibly 1860
Hi..I do not have many details but I was wondering if my great
grandmother could have been in a New York orphanage after 1847 or so. I
also wondered about orphan trains, but I think the trains were not in
that part of Iowa at the right time. She came from Ireland, possibly
Clonmel, around 1847 at the age of 7 or 8..she came alone and never heard
from family again..they probably died in the famine, possibly in a
workhouse. We have no idea how she got here, how a 7 year old would
survive, if she came with relatives or neighbors, if she came with
children from a workhouse (I know they sent girls to Australia but I
don't know about America)..how the family afforded to send her or if
an agency sent her...how she made it to Iowa (where she apparently worked
for Henderson, speaker of house under President McKinley..she worked for
him in Clermont Iowa). My sister thinks she was adopted but I never
heard that, so Crehan could be an adoptive name. Does anyone have
generic information on Irish orphans ending up alone in New York, and any
idea how she ended up in Iowa..indentured servant perhaps? Than;ks for
any help. Mary Garvey

their mother was. Jesse and John are showed in the 1910 census in
Craighead Co. Arkansas with my great-great granddad (James H. Wells). But
there is no information on Jeff,Pearl or their mother. I know Jeff was
born in 1904 and Pearl in 1902? or 1903?. Please if anyone has any
information let me know.

Is there anyway I can find information on his presence there. I knew my

Bernice June
Foster
Born at home 2427 John R. St., Detroit, Mi on
9-27-26
1926-first half of 1927
I have been searching for over twenty five years for my
mother's younger sister, born Bernice June Foster on 9-27-26. Her
birth certificate says she was born at home, 2427 John R. St., Detroit,
Mi., to Rose and Jasper Foster. They had two other daughters, Margaret
born in Jan. 1924, my mother Bonnie Jean Foster born 5-9-25, and the baby
Bernice June. Rose and Jasper split up sometime the first half of 1927
and Jasper took Margaret to live with relatives in Ky. or Tn., Bonnie
Jean was left in the apartment building and found by neighbors and placed
in the Children's Aid Society in Detroit and adopted by James and
Katherine Goeldi around 1928. Bernice was apparently just given to
someone who lived in the apartment building. Jasper moved away and
assumed another name, William Yeager, and had four other children living
in the Lakeland, Florida area. I have spoken to three of the children,
grown now of course, and they never heard any mentionn of Bernice. We
located Margaret around 1991, but she and my mother have both passed
away. I continue to search for Bernice. More than likely she had a name
change, but could have grown up with the first name of Bernice June, but
probably married with another name. I have hired two P.I.'s over the
years and they could not find anything. Can anyone help?

Philadelphia Orphanage
Society
after 1920
I would like to know how to find the records of a Meta Roberta
Youngdale placed in the Philadelphia Orphanage Society in Delaware
County, Providence, Pa.
Her mother Meta Youngdale died sometime after Sept 1918 and before Jan
1920. She was living with her father and siblings in the 1920 census in
Philadelphia City, Ward 40.
By the 1930 census Meta and her siblings, Lilliane, Charles Jr were on
the census in the Orphanage.
I would like to know how to obtain the records. I need them to help me
know when she went into and also when her parents died.
I can't find any cemetary listing with either of them.
Thank you to anyone that can help.

Spina
Stoughton, Ma.
5
weeks
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to find any info. that is out there on an orphanage or
poor farm in Stoughton, Ma. in 1909. My great uncle (an infant of 5
weeks) was placed in a "home" by my great grandfather because
his wife had passed away just 7 days after giving birth and he could not
take care of the child himself.
Giuseppe Spina was my great uncle's name. His parents were Santo and
Carmella Spina. They were from Italy. Giuseppe also passed away. He died
on April 25, 1909. His death certificate said the informant of his death
was the "State Board of Charity". Is that the welfare system?
It also states he was buried in a Catholic cemetery in Stoughton but I
have looked on line and can't find his name.
I am about to solve a century old family mystery as to his location but I
need you help. Did they not mark an infants grave? I know he was buried
in Stoughton because I have the records. Please let me know if you can
help me finish this mystery. Our family would be so grateful.
Thank you so much,
Julie
Thomas Anton or (Antone)
Vandenack
Green Bay , Wisconsin
abt 1888
I'm trying to find my husbands great grandfather that was put
in one of the Green Bay, Wiconsin orphanage around 1888. I've been in
touch with the Diocesan Archives in Green Bay and they do not have record
on him, Thomas A. Vandenack. We think he was an illegitmate , maybe a
daughter of the house had him, and the family lived in Green Bay. He ran
away around 12 yrs of age to Oklahoma and worked, stared a family in the
early 1900's. He made up his dob as 12-25-1888, because he did not
know his real birthdate, we think the year is correct.
Smith
Ohio
Unknown
The family story is that my paternal grandfather Joseph A Smith
was raised in an orphanage. He was born in Athens County, Ohio on
06/04/1899 (as close as I can find for a date from census records) My
grandmother (and my father) were born in Virginia, but I assume that if
Joseph was born in Ohio he was in an orphanage in Ohio. I check your site
often for new postings, but have not found any info on a Joseph Smith
that fits my profile of him.

His mother passed away at the tuberculosis hospital in nashville
tennessee when he was 9 and his brother was 6. His father was an
alcoholic, and unable to take the boys. The last memory my grandfather

believes a couple from alabama "adopted" him. not sure if
legal or if he kept his name. my grandfather is very feeble and cannot
remember names. My grandfather's name is B L harris, his mother was
eva ethel harris. his father's name was william harris. any
information would be appreciated. i cannot find any records of anything.
North
Savannah, GA, United States
NA
My great aunt, Edna North is listed in the 1880 census as being a
resident of an orphanage, that I'm sure was located in Savannah, Ga.
She is listed as being five years of age at that time. Her three
brother's, Robert, Samuel and Adger (or possibly Edger) are listed in
the same census and I know that they were placed at Bethesda Home for
Boys. The administrative records at Bethesda burned in the 1950's and
I have no clue as to who their parents were. If I can locate the
orphanage or girls home where Edna was placed, they might possibly have
the names of her parents. Can anyone help???
Thanking you in advance.

Von Zur
Linde
St. Colmans Home, Watervliet, New
York

I am so desperate for some help. Somewhere during 1943 I was
adopted by George, and Lillian VonZurLinde. Shortly after they adopted
me, they put me in St. Colemans Home in Watervliet, N.Y, even though
everything started in Kings County(Brooklyn) N.Y. Lillian's maiden
name is Lillian Arendt, and her and George were married in 1941. When
they shouted at me one day that I was only adopted anyway, they then told
me that my Birth Certificate had been altered, and they had paid for it.
I know that when I was very small, that we lived on Long Island for
awhile. George had Brothers in New York, but I never met them Both of
them are now deceased, and would not tell me anything. Lillian's
social security number was 050-20-2903. My name is still Robert
VonZurLinde, even though I always wished I had changed it. I have
children, and grandchildren, and I can't give them any medical
history passed me. I now live in Jacksonville, Florida, and am in a
wheelchair, but still can get around a bit. Probably any relatives of
Lillian, and George VonZurLinde know that I have Brothers, and Sisters
out there. I am so desperate not just to get medical records, but to see
you, and we can find out why we were kept apart. If you ever knew of the
VonZurLinde's, than you are exceptional. There are no others. The
Grandparents were named Arendt, and her name was O'Tilda Arendt, and
she was an opera singer. His name was Charles Arendt, and he was born in
Germany, but lived here all his life(I think), and worked as a railroad
engineer. I know that George VonZurLinde had Brothers. Howard was one,
and then there was Otto. I never met them. They kept me hidden in
orphanages, and foster homes. Once I was told that my original parents
were very well to do for the time, and the VonZurLinde's wanted me
out of the way. I can't understand WHY they went through the trouble
of adopting me. The VonZurLinde's did have a daughter named,
Priscilla, born in 1946. She knows nothing, and we do communicate, but
can not come up with solid facts. I have albums full of pictures of when
I was a little baby, and Congratulation Postcards right up until I was
six. George, and Lillian VonZurLinde lived out their last days in
Gloversville, N.Y. I went to see Lillian at her nursing home, and still I
could get nothing. Why are so many people going so far as to hide me?
Please, if this trail ignites something you know, lets share it. You
could be my Brother, or Sister, and if you lived long enough, you could
be My Mother or Father. With name's like I have mentioned, someone
somewhere has to know the truth. Lets pull it together. I was Baptised at
St.Clement's Church in Saratoga Springs, New York. There is a family
in Saratoga named The Soloman's that knew who I was, but like I said,
I was hidden from everyone. Again, WHY would any adopt, and then toss a
kid away. What is the Mystery. What does it tell? If the names mentioned
mean anything to you, then please get in touch. Remember the names.
VonZurLinde, Von Zurlinde, Vonzurlinde, Arendt, even Deinken. My first
name is ROBERT. My middle name is Anthony. Last name Von Zur Linde.
September 10, 1943. Brooklyn, N.Y. Kings county hospital. My email
address is [email protected] I have emptied my soul here, as much as
I can in one little post. One more thing. Lillian told me that I was born
with an upside down stomach. They lied right to the grave. Also remember,
O'Tilda (Tillie) Arendt. Opera Singer, supposedly related to Richard
Wagner (Vagner). Charles Arendt, Howard VonZurLinde, Otto Vonzurlinde.

My great grandmother's name as I knew her was Mae Dennis,
althougth this was her married name. She was placed into an orphanage at
the age of four following her mother's death from cancer along with
her nine siblings. I know that two of her brother's names were Howard
and Rus, and that they are still alive somwhere, and that she had a
sister named Jermaine, who is dead. She was adopted by a woman with the
last name Fischer, who was apparently very cold blooded and mean. I would
like to find more information on her biological mother and father for my
own curiosity. The only thing I know about them is that her mother died
from cancer and that her father was a jewelry sales man, past that I do
not even know their names. Any one with information, I weould greatly
appreciate it.

Mary Mackey- orphan born around
1916-1917 adopted name Elouise Beavers
Souix City,
Iowa
1917, then unknown
Hello, I am looking for my grandmother's biological family.
She was born MARY MACKEY in Sept. of 1917 to mother Ann Mackey who had
her out of wedlock in Soiux City, IA. The biological father is Tom Harper
of Harper Apple Orhards in Nebraska.
My grandmother changed the spelling of her adopted name to Eloise Beavers
and her adopted birth date was Oct. 6th, 1917. She was an orphan in a
Catholic Orphanage of Souix City, Iowa.
Her Actual birth date was on September 28th 1917. Her Mother Ann Mackey,
did not marry Tom Harper. My grandmother's mother Ann Mackey had
family who left Nebraska and settled in the state of MO. She went to
Souix City, Iowa to deliver my grandmother, Elouise Beavers (Adopted
name). I am searching for the Mackey and Harper family that may know this
story. My grandmother was adopted from the Catholic Orphanage as a sickly
baby. Her adopted mother's name was Louise Beavers and father's
name was Earnest Beavers. Please contact me if you have information about
the family tree. 714-742-5784. A part of our life is missing without the
biological family history. My grandmother grew up as an only child, but
actually has many brothers and sisters from the Harper/Mackey families.
It is unknown who Ann Mackey (maiden name) married, we think his first
name is George, but we are unaware of his last name.
Thank you,
Oh, Mary Mackey (AKA Eloise Beavers) married Donald Michaelson and gave
birth to Donald Michael Jr., Diane Louise, Jon, and Lana Gay, Michaelson.
Diane Louise Michaelson gave bith to me, Rhonda Lynn Jernigan and Todd
Allen Jernigan. Jon Michaelson gave birth to Donald Jr. number two and
Lana and the eldest brother, Donald never had children or married. Don
Michaelson Sr. passed away at age 37 and Don Jr, passed away at age 21.
Diane and Lana are still living as of Aug.31, 2007. I Rhonda Jernigan -
Loughran have two boys, Ryan Neal Loughran and Chad Michael Loughran.
Todd Jernigan, my brother, has Dillon James, Lauren Claire, and Kelly
Diane. Please contact me if you have family information. God Bless you!

may have been adopted either in Hall Co., GA, or Stephens Co., GA,
sometime after he was born in 1877. Lonnie was raised by James B. and
Mary A. Boyd of Hall Co., GA, and he died in 1934 in Toccoa, GA. While I
knew for many years Lonnie was not directly descended from James &
Mary Boyd, I've only recently been told by an older relative that
Lonnie was adopted. I was told Lonnie's parents were both killed in
a buggy - train collision, but I don't know how old Lonnie would have
been at the time. I'd be grateful for info on orphanages in that area
would be very much appreciated as I know absolutely nothing about those
institutions. E-mail to me at [email protected], [email protected],

I am searching for my Aunt that was born around 1920-1926. Not
sure of the exact year but she was about two years old when she died!
Does anyone know where she was buried at. I believe it was in Haskell
County or Leflore County in Oklahoma. Does anyone know her name an where
she was buried at? Her parents names were Thomas an Dela Meeks from

Grissette,Grissett,
Gressette
St Vincents Asylum and orphanges for girls
and for boys Washington D C
Between 1890 and
1900
I am looking for documentation that my Grandfather Richard J
Grisssette, adopted by richard and bridget mcdonald was at this
orphanage. Their sister Cora Grisssette is listed at St vincents
orphanage in 1900 and I know that all of them were raised in an orphange.
Their names are Alice Grissette, Cora Grissette, Nonia Grissette and
Richard Grisssette. All I have to go on is Cora Grissette listed in the
1900 Census Washington D C and that my grand father was adopted. Alice
Grissette Kittredge was also in an orphange there in District of columbia
she married a Kittredge in 1915. She claimed to be an orphan
and raised in a catholic orphanage. On my aunts death certificate she
lists her father as J R Grissette and Margaret Blake. richard grissettes
adoptive mother was originally a Bridget Blake all born in District of
Columbia in the late 1800's. The sisters of charity ran these
orphanages and I understand from my research that the St Vincents was
moved several times. It just seems so unchristian for the Sisters of
charity to withold the records of these children in their care. It has
been well over a 100 years so posting their names would not be a
violation of privacy. There are I am sure many others like me who would
like to access those records and it is made easier online. But they
continue to fail to print those records. So I am asking anyone who may
have those st vincent lists from various years in the district to please
print them as it would sure clear up alot questions those of us need.
Thankyou Martha Hawthorne

WAS GERTRUDE THOMAS AND SHE WAS STABBED AND KILLED AND I'M ASSUMING
THAT WAS THE REASON HE WAS PLACE THERE. AT SOME POINT SHE LIVED ON ALVIN
AVE IN DAYTON BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS WHERE SHE LIVED AT THE TIME OF HER
DEATH. I THINK SHE LIVED WITH OR NEAR MY COUSIN'S WIFE, WILLIE KATE
BRYANT WHEN SHE LIVED ON ALVIN AVE. SHE HAD A SISTER NAMED JUANITA BUT I
DON'T KNOW HER LAST NAME COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN THOMAS WHO AT ONE TIME
LIVED ON BROADWAY ST ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD THAT ANTHONY MAY HAVE

Found out in Sept 2007 that I have a brother names Anthony Thomas
who was put in Shawn Acres Children Home (Now HAINES CHILDREN'S
CENTER), in Dayton, Ohio, some time after he was born in either 1958 or
1959. Hopefully he still has the same name, may have been changed upon
leaving there. Don't know if he was adopted out or not. His
mother's name was Gertrude Thomas and she was stabbed and killed and
I'm assuming that was the reason he was placed there. At some point
she lived on Alvin Ave in Dayton but not sure if that is where she lived
at the time of her death. I think she lived with or near my cousin's
wife, Willie Kate Bryant, when she live on Alvin Ave. She had a sister
named Juanita but I don't know her last name, could have also been
Thomas, who at one time lived on Broadway St. in Dayton about 40 years
ago. I was told that Anthony may have lived on Strawberry Row off of
Hoover Ave at some time but not sure. Looking for anyone who may have
been at Shawn Acres at that time who may remember him or any family
member who knows him or where he might be now. We don't want to
disrupt his life or anything, just want him to know he has 5 sisters who
would really like to meet him or any of his family. If anyone has any
information at all, no matter how little, you may remember him from the
children's home or remember his mother or that you may have lived
near him or knew him from Strawberry Row, please contact me at my email
address: [email protected] or call me at: 937-567-9657. I will post
information as I get it, hoping someone will recognize any of it. THANK

name was Elizabeth Dennis. There are only 4 left and they would like some
kind of closure. The homes that they were in were, Angel of Garden in
Brooklyn N.Y., St. Mary's Home Syosset Long Island, and St.
John's home in Brooklyn. These homes are where the boys stayed as far
as my father-in-law remembers. Anyone that can help us out would greatly

different possible birth dates. His confirmation name is Robert Charles

Colean, Gerard
Eugene
Weir City Kansas
1918
Am searching for Helen Colean who was the birth mother of my
father Gerard Eugene Colean.. He was adopted by Anna and Lawrence Tobnic
in 1920 and his name change to Shirley Lawrence Tobnick at that time.
Looking got any information on this family that would help fill in some
gaps on my family tree.
Miller
St.
Louis, Missouri
1919-1945
I am looking for the biological family of my father, born 3-4-
1919 at St. Ann's Maternity Hospital in St. Louis to Caroline Miller,
who lived in Valley Park, Missouri.-His father's name is unknown.
Info we have recieved is that Caroline was an 18 year old unmarried girl
sent to the St. Ann's Maternity Home/Hospital for unmarried woman to
have her child. After his birth, my father was sent to German St.
Vincent's Orphanage, also in St. Louis. He was adopted at age 2 1/2
by Pauline and John Kuehnlein.
Hale, Hail, Rowe,
Roe
Kentucky
Late 1800s
I am looking for a list of orphanges that would have existed in
Kentucky in the late 1800's. There is very little known about my
great grandfather, and for whatever reason my grandmother who passed in
1999, would give very little information-not sure if she knew. It has
came to light that he was possibly in an orphanage. His birthname was
Aron (could be aaron, arron, ern) Hale. He was the son of a 13 year old
girl that was possible raped. He was raised by a family with the last
name of Rowe and took their last name (unable to find names on them
either). He was born approximately 1883. He later married Berta Roark and
they had several children-Lawrence, Elsie, Delphia, Dellie. If anyone has
any information on my family or pictures--we were never even able to get
a birth certificate for my grandmother born April 6, 1906- at least this
is what was guessed as she wasnt sure of her birthdate (Elsie). My email
address is [email protected] Thank You
Also looking for anyone who was related to George Allen of Virginia. He
married Elsie Rowe in early 1900s. He was a preacher they had several
children---the story is she left because his family was trying to take
the children. (He passed away from some sort of fever--) I am sure there
is some lost relatives her that could be reunited. Especially with my
uncles and aunts who are aging.
Joslin, Joslyn

Kitchen/Kitchens
Tennessee-possibly Obion County,TN, USA
I am wanting to research my great-grandmother's ancestors but
have no info on her past. All I know is the following:
Name: Viola James(?) Kitchen/Kitchens--don't know if this was her
birth name or adopted name.
Date of Birth: August 11, 1885
Place of Birth: believed to be Obion County,TN
Marriage: She married William Walter Gentry 9/9/1904 at Union City,TN.
If anyone has any info on her, I would appreciate it.
Orphan
Orphan
1961
As a purported so called orphan from an unknown place, there can
be no family. Anyone that alleges family is creating some co-dependency
on my existence that I do not need. They assume I need their connection,
their lies, their meddling, but what of that would I need? My number was
on my bed, I was three years old standing in my little standing space
going to sit down to read a little book. I was three. The olders, or
the elders if you believe that acceptance of education is not acceptance
of facts or truth, as I do, only normalizing into the system, were not
there. Perhaps they were outside hung upside down over hot coals baking
in the day, who cares? I stood there. I had no name. There are others
co-dependent other orphans that grew up demanding that they should have
and would have families to hold to grow to love to keep, but what keep
was it that I needed then or now? For now I am as old as I am now,
whatever that age. For the circumstances of societal norm, I have
acquired my academics, my experience, but only in the world as it is a
system. I only understand the system, nothing more. I can not believe I
was a non-system, how could that or why would I care? What tree growing
in a garden cares from where the water comes? Only that the water is the
feeding. What tree cares the membership? I see no genetic biological
physiolgical truth to birthing or reproduction. If anything, it is there
is a hope in the scriptures but only as it is not a created lie to live
and die for, only as it is an interpretation. Who could sell to me that
they are or were some family? Why would I care? I would not care. I do
not want that and never, not ever shall. I accept the who of it as far as
I identify in some system. The system that harasses, that educates, that
undermines, that god damns me is all I know. The system that fed the
lies the half lies, the discolorations of the "oh I only told me
thats!" Who in the hell in any orphanage growing up there
associated to some accumulative "me" or "I" or
"myself" or "we"? Wasn't it enough to answer for
one when the demands fell down crashing upon the things that appeared
like things to hope for? Is someone coming to see you? What caring
community would not send in some relief, but what fairness is there to
the lies. I knew nothing of Cole then and nothing of Joan, I know
nothing now.

worker was Sue Clark. The birth mother is Shirley Ann Baude/Huff (Huff
is the maiden name)and she was born on 3 May 1936 in South Bend, IN. The
names of the siblings are Lori Ann Baude/Huff, Douglas Baude/Huff, and
Elizabeth Baude/Huff. Lori Ann was an infant and was adopted by a couple
that were within a 30 minute drive from South Bend. Doug and Elizabeth
were placed together and may have been adopted by a family around the
Granger, IN area, on a farm. They both had red hair and Elizabeth was a
year or two older than Doug. I believe that all three children were born
between 1961 -1963. The whole family would love to restablish contact

Anderson/Lewis
Steubenville, OH
early
1920's
I am researching information regarding my uncles Lyman and
Kenneth Anderson Lewis. After the death of their father, their mother
Mabel Soles Anderson placed them in a children's home (we think) in
Steubenville, OH. Mabel later married Luther Lewis who got them out of
the home and adopted them. Mabel died in 1926 and Luther later married
Mary Stocks.
I don't know the name(s) of any children's home in Steubenville
and consequently do not know where to even look for their records. I
recently learned that the Soles family was from Allegheny Co, PA
(Braddock, PA) and wondered if they might have been in a home there.
Any suggestions of who to contact to find out what home they were in
would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know where to begin to
find their information. Someone at the courthouse said we were not
entitled to their adoption information (which may have occurred in Brooke
Co, WV).
Any help and suggestions are appreciated!
THANKS!

Mother was "boarded" in an Orphanage run by either a

McLeod
Ireland
51??
All I know is that I was born Nash Garrison McLeod, and I believe
my birthdate is sometime in 1956. I have done some research and found
that during the period 1950-1973 thousands of Irish babies born out of
wedlock were shipped across the Atlantic to the USA. I do not know the
port of call, but I have been told that I was part of this group of
children. I have been having problems trying to find a manifest of the
names of these children and would like to be able to regain my original
name and birth certificate. Does anyone have any information of these
children, how I might find a listing of names, or any clues as to who I
really am??

Tredo
Erie
Buffalo New York
Im searching for my mothers aunt, her name was Edna Tredo and
she is listed in the 1920 cencus, from what I understand before she
turned 3 something happend to her. Im not sure if she got sick or she got
hurt but we were always told that she was put in a hospital until she
died a few years later. Then they researched her body and then returned
it to the family and she was buried in Pine Hills Cemetery. We dont know
what year she died or why she died but most likely she was orphaned
because she was sick. We cant find any vital records on her and Ive been
looking threw orphan listings and still no luck. Its sad but anyone who
knew anything about this has passed away. Tredo is the name Im mainly
looking for and Van Patten was my great-grandmothers name. My great-
grandfathers name was Norman Tredo. Edna Tredo was born in 1917, and
like I said in 1920 shes listed with the family but not in 1930. If you
have any info I would appreciate it.

Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, Ohio and
surrounding areas to Venice, Ohio...Fitz Brothers Farm
1920-1930
Would like to find anyone that was orphaned in the Cleveland,
Ohio area that was either placed in Catholic Charities through the
Catholic Church or placed in orphanage and in summers would be farmed out
to work in fields of Fitz Brothers Farm in Venice, Ohio along with my
dad, Charles Anthony Semprich, Anthony William Semprich and Jane Marie
Semprich and Peter Lang (all orphans). I do know that Parmadale Orphange
(Cleveland) sent orphans.... along with the Catholic Charites in
Cleveland. Every summer orphans would come and work the fields at Fitz
Brothers Farm.
Fitz Brothers was not only a farm but a Dairy and delivered milk to
surrounding areas including Sandusky, Huron, Castalia and Venice, Ohio.
The time period would be a span of 10 years from 1920-1930 or shortly
thereafter.
They did take in a lot of orphan help in summer and would like to find
the names of any of the boys. Any and all help is so greatly appreciated
and very much needed. Fitz's always needed help in the summer, so a
lot of orphans worked there.
I would very much like to contact any of the orphans that might have
worked at Fitz's along with my father, uncle, aunt and Pete Lang.
Thank you very much

have a seperate list of orphans which lists Eugene Robinson. I recently
found the county orphans record book, at the Utah state archives bldg. in
SLC, on 300 So Rio Grande. (The old train station). They would only let
me have information on our family members. They blocked out the other
orphans information and copied the pages for me, however the first names
of the other orphans are visible. There is a Eugene R. in the ledger
with quite a bit of additional information. I would be happy to share
what I have with you.
My uncle Chester Roy Dodge born 20 Sep. 1916 was placed in the same
orphanage in 1918 along with his siblings Hatti, Glen and George(my

to him, but my Dad remembers them taking him away, and he was told that
his brother had been adopted.

About
1922-1929
I am looking for records of two little girls -- SMITH, MARIAN and
MAXINE, who were placed in an orphanage in the Everett, Washington, area
in the early 1920's. In fact, I have been able to ascertain that
Marian was place at the Deaconess Home in Everett on January 6, 1922, by
her mother. There is no record of Maxine there, however. From the
orphanage, according to Marian, now 90 years old, they were placed in a
foster home for a time until their parents Grace and Levi Smith got them
again and took them back into their home. They were born in Skagit
County, and Marian appears with her parents, in the 1920 census there,
and both she and Maxine appear in the 1930 census in Winlock, Lewis
County, Washington. Marian was born June 5, 1918, and Maxine was born
December 3, 1920. I hope to find records of their orphanage stay and
into what foster family they were placed? Sharon Poage Pakkala

November 1928-1935 at St. Vincents 1935-
Frank Edward Kremis was born November 2, 1928 at Misaccoradian
Hospital in Milwaukee, WI. Spelling of Misaccordian may be incorrect.
Frank does not know how he was named or if his surname is his birth
parent's surname. He was cared for at St Vincent's Infant Asylum
until age seven when he was transferred to St Collettas. It is highly
unlikely that his parents are still living and he does not know if he had
any siblings. Any information would be helpful.
My Grandmother spent many years in an Orphanage in Lexington, KY.
Her memory is failing fast since she has passed 90 years old. I am trying

in the 1930's. I have listened to the cruel stories of this horrid
place since being a child, and would like to learn and check against my
Grandmother's memory, while she is still able to talk of her time
there. Thank you, for any information that might be of

Illinois in 1888. She lived the rest of her life in Barry.
I am looking for Sutton relatives, perhaps in Iowa. I know that she had
a brother Harry, who married and had a son Allen. Allen married someone

Castroreale Terme, Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, Messina,

Searching for my
granduncle who was given away as a baby to the nuns of Castroereale
Terme
I'm looking for a man (my granduncle)
who was given away as a baby. He was born in the period after December
1915. The point is that we just don�t really know the birthday, but only
the period. After December 1915 till maybe two years after. He was given
to the nuns of Castroreale Terme (Messina, Sicily) or maybe to the nuns
of Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (Messina, Sicily). After searching in the
records of the church it turned out, that at that time a lot of children
were shipped to the United States. Another hindering point is, that we
don�t know his real name. The nuns changed his name and now there is
nobody who can give specified information. Maybe there is somebody who is
searching for his roots and fails to the fact that he was told that he is
an orphan and that they are no records about his origin. And that the
only thing that he knows is, that he came from Sicily, Castroreale Terme,
Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto or was shipped in Messina or Palermo.
Ring any bells? I would appreciate each comment, regardless of weather it
appears important or unimportant. Many thanks. Maria

My grandfather was born February 1871. In February he was given
over to the "Boston Childrens Friends Society" at the age of 1
yr.
The information given me for names of parents was: Josiah or Joseph Brown
and Harriet Brown.
There is no birth certificate naming these people as parents.
Orphanage had no other information!!!!!!
When my grandfather was 66 an aunt tried to obtain a birth certificate.
They finally had to hand write one without anything to back it up. NEVER
FOUND HIS PARENTS, HIS CERTIFICATE, ONLY LISTED IN ORPHANAGE IN 1880
census. Until he married in 1890 there is no other record of him.
Any HELP out there..........

Bernadine Leingang
St. Ann's orphanage (Infant Asylum)
1942-1946
My mom was adopted from St. Ann's orphanage in St. Louis,
Missouri. She was born on August 20th 1942. Her birth name was Bernadine
Leingang. I have very few details about her natural parents and would
like more information about them and any other relatives she might have.
My Great-Aunt thinks she remembers being told that my mom's natural
dad was in the military and that her natural mother was German. My
mother's name was changed to Carol, after she was adopted (at the age
of 4). She has dark brown hair and blue eyes. I have tried everything I
can think of to get information from the Catholic church concerning her
adoption. Even hired a lawyer, to no avail. I have been stonewalled at
every turn. So, if someone out there has any information about my mom or
any of her relatives...please, please contact me.
Thank you so much for providing this site!!

Beatrice Babarsky
New York Foundling Home in New York City
1927 until 1930 and beyond
To those reading this website
I am writing on behalf of my family for information about a deceased
relative Beatrice Babarsky who was placed in the care of the New York
Foundling Home in 1927. The reason we are doing this now is that we
recently discovered the family story of the death of my grandmother and
the placement of her youngest child, Beatrice Babarsky is a family event
with factual basis. Beatrice, 2 �, is listed as residing in the New York
Foundling home in the 1930 census.
We are requesting information now because we would like more detailed
background information on why she was placed in the home, her care with
another family, and why and how she was eventually sent back to
Pennsylvania to live with my grandfather.
Given the length of time that this occurred, about 80 years ago, I
believe the information might fall under the Freedom of Information act
and could be available. If anyone reading this has had experience
unearthing these documents we would so appreciate your advice. We would
like to know what we need to do or where I need to go to get the records
on Beatrice Babarsky and her family. This is very important to the family
that we have this information
Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Hoffman
Not sure: possibly NC or SC (City of York, or Charlotte,
NC)
??
Looking for a 1/2 sibling. Birth date could be in the range of
1937 - 1940. Birth mother was Juanita Hoffman, from Rock Hill, SC.
Juanita was born 1919 and died 1964, in Bethesda, MD. She left Rock Hill
after high school and worked in Washington, DC during and after the war.
I am guessing she came back to Rock Hill to deliver this baby and place
it for adoption. The dates above are just an educated quess of the time
frame.
Juanita was my birth mother. I was born at the Florence Crittenton Home
for Unwed Mothers, in Washington, DC, in 1943. On the original Birth
Certificate, it listed 1 other live birth. No other information was
given. I have learned much about my birth mother and her surviving small
family in SC. I would give anything to locate, meet and speak to a
sibling. As an adoptee, I was an only child.
My name is given above. I am 64 years, and live in Frederick,
MD.

I'm looking for info on a home or orphanage in Missouri
around 1890-1908. Maybe close to Independence or Joplin. My g'pa
John, Harry, Myrtle and Nancy Large and one very young child were put in
a home when their mother passed away. The boys left soon as they could,
but the girls were there a bit longer. The youngest child (boy/girl,
unk.) was adopted out. They as young adults were all reunited with their
father, James Large.No info or trace of the youngest was ever founf out.
But my grt Aunt Myrtle, when she married was only 17 and had to have her
guardian sign for her, W. H. Neff. In Independence, Mo in 1908.
That's why I believe the home was nearby. My g'pa was born in
Joplin, Mo. Any info on Rosetta Allen Large, James Large or any of the
kids and /or orphanage..would be appreciated. Just doing tracing of
family and trying to fill in some gaps.

1911-1920
my father - david fagelman/variants and siblings Isadore/Irving,
Ida and Eva - were forcibly removed from their mother's home and
placed in orphanage/foster home care. No one in the family knows where
the children were placed. The family lived in Boston, Suffolk county.
I was told that there was a state census taken in 1915. After the
"raw data" (whatever specific information that was researched)
was extracted, the records were destroyed.
Since my family members' names were hopefully listed in that
document, does anyone know if a copy of that censsus might still exist
somewhere?
Thank you.

Gregor born in Bronx New York 4/9/1934. Possibly had sibilings or a twin
brother. Adopted in 1943 by Thomas Molyneux Gibson and Catherine Marie
Gibson. May have been foster parents prior to adoption.
My father was possibly of Native American descent and spent time on a
orphange farm or in an orphanage in either the Bronx or in Brooklyn New
York. Biological family gave him and sibling or siblings up for
adoption. Only possession he owned was a Lionel train.
Any information would be wonderful. My father passed away 9/21/2007.
Did not realize that NY will not allow any adoption records to be
opened.

Donovan
New Haven or Hartford, CT
1874-
1900?
I am the paternal granddaughter of William H. Donovan born in New
Haven CT. on either the 7th or 11th of Nov. 1874. His parents were John
Donovan and Margaret Keating Donovan (both born in Ireland). His parents
both died in 1885, in their early thirties, thus leaving my grandfather
and his siblings to be put in an orpahnage. There is reason to believe it
was the St. Francis Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum in New Haven,CT. (but
that is not confirmed). What is confirmed is that he had an older brother
John(born in April 1873) a sister Mary (born about 1876), a brother
George(born in Sep. 1879) and a brother Albert (born Aug.1881). Their
last names could very well have been changed upon adoption. I beleive my
grandfather was adopted by a woman w/ the last name of Glynn or McGlynn
(he however retained his given name Donovan all his life). He lived for
awhile in a boarding house in Springfield MA. Any info you might have
about him or any of his siblings would be GREATLY
appreciated.

old. My Grandfather would have a tattoo on his left fore arm. (as in the
only pics that we have) My Mother, upon addoption, took the name of
angela (she said that the nuns called her little angel) but kept her
middle name as a rememberence of her mother. My search has gone on for
about 3yrs with no luck. If anyone has any information as to what
direction I must go to resolve my seach PLEASE drop me a line. Thank You

Orphanage in Ft. Wayne, IN in the 1920's. Geraldine was born on July
8, 1924. She married a man by the last name of Sneider, Schneider,
Snider or Snyder. If you have any information regarding her, I would
appreciate an e-mail. I would just like to know who adopted her, what
her life was like post adoption, kids, where she lived, what type of
education did she receive, etc. My father passed away in November 2006.
The Census Records indicate she was adopted prior to 1930 because her
name was not listed.

Charles Kidney
Home for the Friendless,Poughkeepsie, NY to Wayne,Albia Monroe
Co. Iowa
1870
Looking for information (news article of a crime(1920-1925), obit(after
1925)etc on my Grt Grandfather's brother Charles Kidney B:1865 in
Poughkeepsie, NY. Have his history up to the Orpanage census of 1870.By
this date, he and two brothers are in the orphanage, their mother having
died 1867, and their father after two enlistments in the Civil War, I
suspect could not care for them. At that time, Charles was the
youngest..age 4. Sometime between 1873-75, he found himself in Iowa.The
other two brothers were farmed out as well to farms here in NY and
possibly NJ. The 1800 census (Wayne,Monroe?Co) has Charles as a 15yr old
as a laborer/servant on a James O'Connor farm. 1900.1910 1920
censuses all have him in Albia, Monroe Co.Iowa. Someone was kind enough
to Email me a Special census questionare done in 1925. Apparently, in
less than five years after the 1920 census Charles was now in Fort
Madison Prison, Lee county. He states..he's 59yrs old, born in NY,
Been in Iowa 51yrs. Parents, both mother and father are unknown.He's
never married. I am unable to locate him in any further census years. If
someone has access to Monroe Co. vital records or old news obits etc. to
locate what happen to him, or perhaps Lee Co. It would be
appreciated.

Shiley Moss Sobieralski
Bordenkecher
St. Joseph's for the Friendless, Chicago, Cook County,
Illinois, USA
1960-1970
I have found out that William Andrew Bordenkecher and his sister
were at St. Jospeh's Orphanage for the Friendless for a few years.
William's father was Joseph Andrew Bordenkecher and his mother was
Doris Marie Martinez Bordenkecher. If William's memory serves him
correctly, he woke up in the orphanage one morning.
His sister, Kathryn, was adopted out and he was placed in/out of foster
homes, His last foster home was with the Kremer's. He stayed with the
Kremer's till he was about seventeen years old.
He remembers his case worker as a Ms. Tallgrath or something like that.
We are looking for anyone who had any connection to this Orphanage. We
are told that any records before 1970 were destroyed. William remembers
at the age of 18, being shown a letter that his mother had written but
the most important parts had been blacked out.
Please contact me if you can assist. Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. We have located his father's family and we have been in
contact but the story of William still remains a bit of a mystery. We
have had no luck finding any information on his mother. We did locate
the marriage certificate but that as far as we have gotten. I am praying
someone out there has more information and will be willing to assist to
explain this mystery. God Bless and Thank in Advance for your
assistance.

County, Arkansas, US
Several children of William Jefferson Pierson and Julia
Lucretious (Vernon) Pierson were placed in the Odd Fellows Home for
Widows and Orphans in Batesville, Independence Co., AR between 1907 and
1920. Their names are Roy A. Pierson (b.1900), John Add Pierson (b.
1903) and Carroll Pierson (b. 1906). The family account says the parents
died of a fever and were quarantined in a tent camp; first one died and
later the other. The family lived in Little Texas, Craighead Co., AR in
1900 and owned their own farm. I cannot locate them in 1910. In 1920
the youngest child (Carroll) is living in the IOOF home. The other 2
children are living with their older brother and sister in Saline,
Hempstead, AR.
I'm looking for the records of these children to determine when they
were placed in the orphanage, when the parent's died and what
happened to the farm when the parent's died.
Any information would be apprecaited.

Mcknight/Mcnight
Canada
187?
I am hoping someone can help me. My great grandfather was
orphaned somewhere in Eastern Canada more then likely New Brunswick or
Quebec. He didn't leave any clues except an old family story and a
possible birth name. According to the story his family came over in the
Irish Famine era, he was either sent for with his mother after his dad
had been there a while or they had been away for another reason. His dad
died before they returned and his mother died shortly after they
returned. He was adopted by Lucinda Wiley (family story says she's a
widowed aunt or cousin). He was listed as Roy Wiley in the 1880 Humboldt
county census in California but he changed it to Mcnight when he was
naturalised c. 1900. He was reportedly born May 1,1877 but I've seen
it as early as April 1876. Also the age in the census's makes it
about 1871-1873 He's been a brick wall ever since I was little.
Thank you.

Does anyone know how to get further information about this

somewhere else - any help or leads you could provide would be much

Donahue (adopted by Simon
McNamara)
St. John's Orphan Asylum, Kent County,
MI
1894-?
I'm trying to find out what happened to my great
grandparents, Mate (Matie, Mary) and Ben Donahue of Kent County, MI. They
left their children Maud (Margaret) and Benjamin Henry Donahue at the St.
John's Orphan Asylum sometime after July 1894. The children
aren't listed in the 1900 asylum census, so I assume they were
adopted/fostered by the Simon McNamara family before that census was
taken.
I would appreciate any information. I understand their parents were born
in Vermont. Mate (Mary, Matie, Mattie) maiden name was Cashell or Cashel.
I don't know when they married or moved to Michigan. Benjamin Donahue
Sr. was a steam fitter. I believe he worked for Leitelt Iron Works in
Walker, Mi. Their employee records don't go back that far.

My grandmother was born January 4, 1899 in a little town near
Marengo Indiana. Her mothers name was Mahala and father was John
Thompson. Her mother was 18 and father 28. Supposedly, her mother died in
childbirth. She gave her part of her name. Her father kept her for a
while, but I don't know how long. He took her to Louisville, KY and
put her in the Ky Childrens Home there.
There was a man named Hugh Harvin, who did the placement of the children.
She was taken to the home of Thomas and Lavinia Large in Flemingsburg,
Ky. In the year 1906, they adopted her. These people were also foster
parents, so anyone out there know anything they can email at a
[email protected]. My grandmothers' could have been Hallie Jane
Thompson at birth also. Anything would be helpful. Is there anyone out
there who had relatives in the Ky Childrens' Home in Louisville KY
between the years 1900-1905?

Hello,
I am looking for information on how to obtain the records for The
Fairfield County Home. I believe the "Lewis Dean" listed as a
ward on the 1900 FED Census was my grandfather. He was also listed on the
Western NY Soc. for Homeless and Dependent Children, Cattaraugus County,
Randolph NY but as "Charles Dean". Also listed was
Myrtie/Myrtle Dean on both, which I believe may have been his sister.
Your assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

approx 1889-

My greatgrandmother was an inmate of "the Catholic Home for
destitute children" Her name was Catharine[or Catherine] Young .She
is listed on the census roster for 1900 as being there. Her brothers
Daniel and William Michael were also in an orphanage somewhere in Philly
around the same time. Catherine was born in September of 1889 and her
brothers in 1887 and 1892. There may be other siblings as well. We
don't know who their parents were or what he circumstances were that
led them to be left in orphanages but we think their father[ who we think
was also William] was an alchoh;ic, and that their mother[ unknown] died
young. Catherine later married albert Fairhurst , lived on leiper street
and had several children[ one being my grandfather Jonathan[Bud}
Fairhurst born in 1912. Can anyone tell me a about the family or the
orphanage and their records??I would at least like to see a photo of the
orphanage. I have been told that Catherine is buried in St. Dominics
cemetery but Albert is not. Does anyone know why he isn't buried with
her??

Ortega/Millar/Miller/Servin
Santa Cruz,
California
approx. 1878 - 1888
My Grandmother, Isabelle (Elizabeth) Roslyn, A.K.A. Bell, was
born 1875/1878? Los Angeles or Porterville I'm not certain what her
legal surname was. Her mother was Matilda Ortega/Olivera from Los
Alamos? We have no record of her parentage other than her mothers first
and last name.
Elizabeth was married to Frolian M. Servin(1856-1903), somewhere around
1894, I think in Porterville, CA. Her children were born in Porterville,
but later given the boys were given up to the orphanage in Watsonville,
CA. and her only daughter was put into a convent/orphanage in Santa Cruz?
- after her husband died.
My father, Frank R. Servin (B. 1903-1984)was very young when he entered
the orphange, and was sent home to die when he was around 11 -12. He
recovered and was returned until he ran away, worked around central
California, then joined the Navy.
My Great Grandmother, Matilda was the daughter of Faustina
Olivera/Ortega? but there isn't much information about either
Faustina or Matilda. We don't know where she is buried, or if there
are any other children/siblings to Elizabeth.
Please, if you are related or know any information about them, it would
be greatly appreciated.
Edward Smith
Born in Illinois, later moved to New Orleans
DOB: September 8, 1911- 1925-1929
I am looking for information on my paternal grandfather. (Edward
Smith) I never met him and he died when my father was young (around 11).
I know very little about him, but I can tell you that he lived in an
Illinois Orphanage around the 1920's & maybe early 1930's. I
do not know if he had brothers or sisters, but I can tell you that his
parents were supposedly from Germany.
He later moved to new Orleans and married Hattie. Her Maiden name is
beleived to be Michel, but she might have previously been married to a
Schneida.
His had a child named David Paul Smith, born March 30 around 1955-1961,
David is my father. Hattie also had children which they both raised.
Helen, Mary, Anton & Marguarite (Pepper) were the other children. At
least on of these children (Helen or Pepper) was also the child of
Edward.
Anyone who can give ANY information on my grandfather would be very
appreciated as I would love to no more, or anything, about him! Does
anyone know how many orphanages were in illinois at the
time?

Paquin
Canada
1900s
My great grandmother Kathryn Margaret Paquin(born 1910) spent all
of her life searching for her missing half brother and half sister,
Joseph(middle child) and Christine(younger child) and she died unable to
ever see them again. My family and I are looking for closer and would
really like to know what became of Joseph and Christine. The details are
sketchy but it is all my grandmother ever told anyone. So here it
goes...Kathryn's mother Julia(last name unknown)committed suicide
after her husband was killed during the War, his name was also Joseph and
is buried in France. After Julia committed suicide the children were sent
to an orphanage in Canada, my grandmother was farmed out because she was
too old for any one to want to adopt her, she sent almost all the money
she earned back to the orphanage for her sister and brother. When Kathryn
went back to the orphanage in the mid 1920s the orphanage had been burnt
down and her siblings were gone. That is really all the information we
have about Christine and Joseph. But please contact me if you know any
thing at all. Thank you.
I am inquiring about how to find the past to a baby boy that was
born in 1944 and put on a church's door step in Jersey city New
Jersey. This is the only information I have. Yes, we are looking for a
miracle but I do believe in miracles. Maybe there is a record or you can
direct me to where I can go with such little information. God Bless you
for any response or direction you can share with me!

I'm looking for my great-great grandmother Sarah Ann ???. She
was left at an orphan home in New york state by an aunt and/or uncle who
were either white or mulatto at the age of 9. She had a younger sister
who died from typhoid fever.she was of mixed heritage--African and white
or African and American Indian. The 1870 census showed that she married
Henry Hempstead and had six children. The census says she was born in
1840. The 1880 census shows her as remarried to George Gray. I knew her
has Sarah Ann Gray. An aunt did some research and said that
Sarah's's maiden name was either Borisse, Bartiss, or Buine
(I'm not sure of the spelling of the third name)George Gray was a
mulatto too. I do not know what orphange she was in; but I would like to

Albany,
New York
? 1887-1900
I am trying to find info on my Grandfather - from his WWI draft
card he was born 22 June 1887 in Albany, NY From a story my Grandmother
told his parents were killed in a buggy accident. According to the 1900
census he was living with Charles A. and Georgie Etta Henderson in Salem,
MA. In this census he is listed as a son, with the name Arthur E.
Henderson. The 1910 census lists him as an adopted son. I had searched
everywhere maybe for relatives from the adoptive parents and this might
have been why they had him, because my thought a man working in the shoe
shops sure was not making that much money to travel to New York State to
adopt a child.
I had read about the Orphan Trains but was under the wrong impression
that they had all gone west. I finally read an article that a train from
Albany went to Massachusetts. This maybe part of the story?
What I would like to find out is how you find the adoption records. I
have the people that adopted him, I have a time frame, I have his birth
date, I have his name after he was adopted. I have two conflicting
stories. If he was from New York state the records have to be there - ALL
records are sealed. The people who adopted him live in Massachusetts so
the records have to be there. I have tried both states and was told I
have to have his birth name or birth parents name. I have no idea what it
was. There has to be records some place. I feel like I am in a vicious
circle.

and her sister Sallie Baker. They are recorded on the 1900 Census as
living in the Odd Fellows Orphanage in Lincoln, Logan County. Did they
take pictures of the children when they arrived or left the orphanage?
Are there any documents showing how/why children were placed there? The
1900 census shows both girls parents birth place as Unknown. If there
are any documents in Libraries etc., that have detailed information from
those early years I would really appreciate hearing from you. My
Grandmother Margaret left the orphanage at age 18 and went to Cairo
Illinois. She died at age 29, and we are searching for any information
and/or pictures available - we have never seen a picture of her.

any details about him, And mother said she gave her two boy's to the
fruit peddler and his wife to take home to Texas
To help work on their farm and of all things I fell for that because I
loved animals and that's what farming was all about.
So what I need is to find my brothers are still alive and somewhere

sister M.J. Weaver. I never got a chance to talk to my mother before she
died about her family. I only remember seeing my Uncle Charles when I
was about 5 years old. If anyone knows this family please contact me.
Thank you.

I was told that Tom worked in the mines but am not sure of that. This is

They had three daughters who were taken away because their mother could
not take care of them and work. Apparently she was also ill. They were
taken to St. Louis Missouri and the two youngest were adopted the oldest
was adopted and ended up marring a Albright. They had a farm in
Arkansas. The youngest was adopted by a Granamman in St Louis. My
grandmother's name was Gretta, she was to old to adopted so was put
to work on a farm in Poplar Bluff, MO. She then worked on a farm in
Calwood, MO. She was greatly mistreated and had to work while the
farmer's kids did nothing. She married Erastus Joshua Newsom in
Audrain County. They lived in Williamsburg, MO. I would like to find out
who Tom and Mayme's parents were and where they were from.

Vadie/Vada/Veda Till(e), m.
Woicinski
1900 Fed. Cens., Guadalupe Co., Texas:
Farm ca. Seguin, with Harry & Rhoda Herron Verrinder
ca. 1896-1902
I'm seeking any info on possible Till family kin, and my
great-grandmother Vadie. I've been researching for ten years, picking
up where my grandparent's four decades of research left off.
According to records, Vadie/Vada/Veda Till(e) was born 22 Nov 1881, in
(Unk) Texas, both parents b. TX. Father supposedly L.K. Till, mother
unknown.
In the 1900 Census, was in Justice Pct. 3, Guadalupe Co., Texas, in a
household of three:
Vadie was listed as "orphan", 18 1/2 yrs. old, literate;
Head of household was Harry Verrinder, 34 y.o., from England, non-
citizen;
Wife of Harry, Rhoda Herron Verrinder, 50 y.o., from Mississippi; they
had been married four years in June 1900.
I have presumed that Vadie was working for her keep, given: her age; the
fact I haven't found any blood relation between her & the
Verrinders, nor their extended families (not that it's not possible,
just that I haven't seen any probabilities); and finally, because
other records indicate that the Verrinders took in various older orphans
over the years.
In 1902, Vadie married Frank Paul Woicinski of Poznan, Poland, who
immigrated w/his family at age two to Houston, Texas. They wed in Sept.
1902 at The Elm Creek Methodist Episcopal Church South in Cibolo, Guad.
Co., Tx.
The family moved often, perhaps because Frank was following work in the
auto trade, which at that time was closely tied to the railways. They
lived in Houston, San Antonio, Ft. Worth, & Dallas, & Frank
worked in Ardmore, Oklahoma after Vadie died.
Vadie died at Parkland Hospital in 1918, after giving birth to their
seventh child. She is probably buried at Oakland Cemetery, Dallas, ca.
several places the Woicinski family had lived. Frank died in Houston in
1924, and the children were separated and never fully reunited, so even
oral history is sparse. My grandfather, and three of the siblings,
refused to speak about their experiences - too painful.
I've tried to get my hands on a record referred to in a well-
published public record index. It is an 1896 probate record in Guad. Co.,
for "Vida Till, Minor (no papers)". Clerk's office either
cannot or will not retrieve the record.
Check for future queries on Frank & Vadie's children, the
Woicinski orphans.

john w lash

Looking for info on my great grandfather, who i beleive came to
illinois on an orphan train at the age of 9.His given name was John W
Lash and was born in 1866, when arriving in Illinois he is found on
census as living with Henrietta Cramp in Macon Illinois. Would love any
info on him. Afterthe cramps passed he went by the name Walter Lewis Lash
and stayed in central Illinois.
I am looking for people who are willing to share their stories of
growing up as an orphan...how did it make them feel, how did it affect
their hopes/dreams, how did it affect their feelings about themselves,
how has it affected their lives as they see it. I volunteered a number
of times to be a big brother/mentor to younger orphan guys, but it never
seemed to work out. Obviously I was doing something wrong, and I thought
if I could just understand what it is like it might help.
Thanks.

O'Brien

?1913 - 1945 when he died
My grandfather, John O'Brien was born around 1888 to James
and Mary O'Brien. He had given his birthplace as Boston, Mass on my
mother's birth certificate, however, on his marriage certificate, he
stated he was born in New York. He had several siblings and the story
went that there was a fire and both his parents died in the fire and he
and his siblings were sent to an orphanage. Where he had lost touch with
them. I'm not sure whether they were sent on the orphan trains or
what really happened to them. When I asked anyone in the family about
the orphanage, I was told by my aunts that they tried to find his
siblings, but, there was a fire at the orphanage and all of the records
were burned. I don't have the name of the orphanage and am not sure
whether it was in Massachusettes or New York. I was able to locate his
marriage certificate where he was married in New York City in 1913 to
Rose Bischoff. He gave his age as 25 at that time. I can also trace
him through the census, and have sent for his death certificate, however,
have not been able to find out about the orphanage or his siblings. Any
suggestions or information would really be helpful.

Fuller

I was always told my grandfather was an Irish orphan. I
didn't know much else about him. I am doing research and am finding
out more. He died when he was only 32 years old, His children were 7, 4
and 2 when he died, so they did not remember him at all.
According to his death certificate he was born in Frisco Indiana May 3,
1897. parents unknown.
I have definately traced him to 1910 living with a family in
Reynoldsville MO as a boarder. I have info on him from 1910, when he was
13 years old, up until his death in 1928.
I have found on a 1910 census, a Ruthy J Fuller living with a Wyman
family as a servent. She is listed as a widow. In the same family is an
Eddy M Fuller, 2 years old and listed as a boarder.
I have been able to trace this Ruthy J but the baby (Eddy M) seems to
have disapeared. Ruthy J was married to William Fuller about three months
before Eddy M Fuller would have been born.
By the next year, Ruthy J was married to ___ Anderson and had a child by
him.
If this Eddy M is my grandfather, which seems very likely, where was he
between the ages of two and 13? I am only specutlating that Ruthy and/or
her new husband decided that Eddy M was a burden and placed him in an
orphage. I am guessing he was placed in an orphange that place him out to
the family in Reynoldsville IL, but I cannot find him.
Help, help help and much appreciated.

Eddy or Eddie M or Edward or
Edward Monroe Fuller
born in Indiana-possibly
Frisco, Cisco or Francisc, resided in Reynoldsville Illinois at age
13
born 1897 or 1998
Looking for information on my grandfather, I don't believe he
was ever adopted and his name was and always was, Ed, Eddy, or Eddie or
Edward Monroe Fuller. I have reason to believe he did not use his middle
name, but used his middle initial.
He was born in Indiana in either 1897 or 1898. His death certificate says
he was born in Frisco, but I think it may have been Cisco or Francisco.
Francisco seems more logical since it is on the southern tip of Indiana.
At age 13 he is listed as boarder in Reynoldsville MO. living with a
Forrester or Foresterr family.
He served in WW1

Barrow, Josie-Elsie-
Elgin
Unknown Probably in Georgia
1903-1919
My grandmother was placed in an orphanage as a toddler upon the
death of her mother. As my grandmother was born in Hawkinsville, Pulaski
Co., Georgia, we are assuming the facility would be some where near by.
She told us she thought it was a Methodist orphanage.
One story we heard was that the girls were made to sew. The littlest
girls would sit on the floor and rock the trendle foot piece and the
bigger girl would do the sewing. As the girls got older, they would sew
and the littlest would work the trendle.
My grandmother remained here until her older brother got her out after
WWI.
Thanks for any clues.

long.
Bordenkecher
St. Joseph's for the Friendless, Chicago,
Ilinois
1964-1969
I am looking for anyone who might have been at St. Joseph's
for the Friendless in Chicago, Illinois during the time frame from 1960 -
1970.
I am doing research for William Andrew Bordenkecher who was placed in the
orphanage by his father, Joseph Andrew Bordenkecher. William's mother
is Doris Marie Martinez. We know that Joseph and Doris did get married in
Chicago 1955. We have made contact with the Bordenkecher family but this
situation was not known to many and they did not have any information.
Even though we have made contact with the paternal family,
we have had not success on the maternal family. The paternal family is
from Indiana.
We have a copy of the William's birth certificate as well.
William was born in 1956. He grew up in Chicago. He doesn't remember
his mother or father at all. He has a difficult time in the orphanage and
remembers having ear surgery to flatten his ears.
William remembers a sister with the name of Katherine, Catherine. She was
adopted by a well to do family. William was in the orphanage till about
the age of 9, he then became a foster child of a family with the surname,
KREMER.
St. Joseph's for the Friendless was ran by the Catholic Charities. I
have written several times to the Catholic Charities and played phone tag
with someone in the legal department.
I am looking for anyone who know's of this orphanage, who was there
during the 1960-1970's. The nuns did let William see a letter his
mother has written to him when he turned 18 years of age but they had
blacked out all the important information.
He was not allowed to take the letter with him nor make a copy.
If you have any information that we assist in our search, we would be
most grateful. God Bless all those that were in these God Forsaken
places.
Please contact me at [email protected].

Chicago
Illinois
1936-1939
My father was an orphan born March 2, 1936 in Illinois. He was
orphaned at age one, we were told, and resided in an orphanage in Chicago
until the age of 3 or 4. Unfortunately, all records of his adoption,
including his given name, were destroyed. As he was of Norwegian descent,
like his adoptive parents, we are guessing that he might have been a
resident of the Norwegian Lutheran CHildren's home. It is literally
minutes from the area he grew up in, Brookfield, Ill. How might I find a
roster or records of children residing in the home after 1935?? We would
so much like to fill in our family tree on his side.

Mildred Olga
Unknown

Fellows Orphans Home of Illinois
1908 to
1920
Looking for information about an adoption of a female named
Mildred Olga Unknown last name at birth born 6 Jan 1908 in Elyria,
Lorain, Ohio. She was given up for adoption not sure when? She was said
to have had adopted parents with last name Vaughn and Striney, of which I
found census records in Ohio. She was in Odd Fellows Orphans Home of
Illinois sometime between her birth 1908 and guessing 1920. She was
finally adopted by Charles and Grace Roth where she grew up and was
raised the rest of her life in Hillman, Michigan. The Roth's may
have adopted her when she was about age 10 to 12. What is strange is
that each name on the census record I found co-incides with her
children's birth records and on all of the census records with a
Mildred is the name Grace as the mother born in Ohio and both of her
parents as well. Mildred may have some family connection to Rochester,
New York as photos of her with people. Another family member said
Mildred may have been adopted from parents or a parent of Royalty from
England. Does anyone have any direction for me to search my father-in-
laws mother's biological parents?

Corbin
Negley, OH
1901 - 1910
My husband's grandfather and several siblings were placed
into an orphanage near Negley, OH or in Columbiana, OH sometime after
1900.
Does anyone know of any orphanages in this area? We've heard it was
Dominican's of Sommerset or Sumerset, but have never been able to
find anything on it. We have heard of Fairmount Orphanage in Stark
County, in or near Alliance, OH, which took in children from Columbiana
County. We are having the records check on it.
His grandfather's name was Bert (Bertdell) Corbin, and the siblings
were Charles Lawrence, Chance, and possibly Roy Corbin.
These Corbin boys were the sons of Alva Corbin, Columbiana County.

an uncle but I don't know what year. I would like to know if there is
anyway I could verify this story. Since it was between census years, they
do no good. I do know my mothers birth certificate was sealed until her
death. How do I go about getting this information? Anybody out there know
where I could go for help?
I'm interested to know if there were any orphanges in

Canadian and mother was Indian possibly Souix. She may not have been full

was put on a steam boat down the Missouri River with about 50 other
orphans and the boat stopped at different towns and families took in the
children as workers. John was taken in at Rulo Nebraska by the William
Kissel family and lived there the rest of his life. His approximate date
of birth 1854. He died in 1925. Any info on any orphanages, missions, or
boarding schools for Indian children would be appreciated. Would love to
find his name listed in an orphans roll or census.

Coulter
Illinois children's home and aid society
1938-1942
Was there, in fact, a home for children (orphans, dependent,
wards of the county) on the south side of chicago, perhaps called the
Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society, in the late 1930s early
1940s. Perhaps by another name. I am thinking it would have been near
S. 35th St. I was a ward of Cook County Illinois while at the home
during that time frame.

Ramey, Ramay, Ramsey,
Ramsay
Sparta, Illinois (I think)
I don't know if she was ever actually in an orphanage, but
the birth certificate for one of her children lists her name as Mary
Ramey and that she was born in Sparta, Illinois. I have found varying
dates of birth: 1885 to 1888. She lived with the Oldfield family in
South Dakota, according to the 1900 census, but doesn't appear to
have been adopted by them. Because of the missing 1890 census, I'm
not sure how long she was there or if she was in another household or
orphanage prior to the Oldfield home. I believe the 1905 S.D. census
lists her as being in the state for 15 years so she would have been 3-5
years when she arrived or was placed there. I would really like to have
information on her family.

I recently found that my footprints don't match my birth
records. I had always thought I was adopted but now don't know if
there was an accidental switch/abduction of me and accidental abandonment
of other child. I am looking for information on a missing girl from
about 1963 or found child in St. Paul, Minnesota- could also be from
Duluth, or Albert Lea. I might be an Everly. I heard people outside my
window that thought I was their daughter and said it could be her if
birthmark was removed. I did have a birthmark on my back on the inside
of my right shoulder blade that was removed. I think I was either adopted
or picked up by accident and the other girl left abandoned. I do
remember a fishy room and a birdy room at a place where adoptions were
taking place and a locker, but that could have been jewish family service
or daycare. If you have any info, please email me! The girl I replaced
would have had a sister Linda, Mother Gail and Father Richard or Dick.
Thank you.

Ingalls
orphanage in Brooklyn, NY
1909-approx
1911
My grandmother, Jeannette Mary Ingalls, and her younger sister
Maybelle were placed in an orphanage in NYC (probably in Brooklyn) in
1909. Their mother Gertrude died in childbirth and their father, George
Parker ingalls, did not feel that he could take care of them. Jeannette
was eventually sent to live with a family in Bridgewater, Massachusetts,
where she met and married her husband. Jeannette never saw or heard from
her father again. I am interested in finding out what the name of the
orphanage was. I would also love to find out what eventually happened to
her father, but that's another type of search. If anyone could
provide any information about orphanage lists in Brooklyn at that time
period, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thompson born Jan. 4,1899. Birth place is suppose to be a town near
Marengo Indiana. Her parents were John and Mahala Thompson who were 28

Father kept her for a little while but had to put her in the Kentucky
Children's Society orphanage there in Louisville Kentucky. She went
to live with Thomas and Lavinia Large in Fleming County Kentucky in 1905.
They adopted her in 1906, but there were still other foster kids in the

thing is helpful even if your family member was in that home around the

certificate shows his parents as William A. Watts and Josephine Jackson.
both white. At the age of 1 1/2 yrs. he was placed in the Philadelphia
Home for Orphans (which I do not believe exists today). The reason given
was that his father William A. Watts was dead. I have been unsuccessful
getting any information from Philadelphia Hospital. They say they cannot
release the information due to privacy limitations. I cannot find any
information on the orphanage as yet. I have not been able to find either
parent in the census since the name is very common. I have no clues,

of death, where is William buried, etc. Any hints or help will be very

in 1920-1925 time frame, when my mother and her siblings were placed in

Orphans Home, Tarrant County.
Four Dudley children were placed in an orphanage in Ft Worth in 1920,
sometime after the census was taken in January, 1920, where they were
listed with both parents in Montague County, TX.
The Dudley children and ages in 1920 census are: AJ (Arch Joseph Jr), age
7; Lois R, age 5; Mozelle age 4, and Juanita Pauline (or Pauline) age 3.
Specifically, seeking dates they were in care and date returned to their

Father died in April 1920 and mother could not care for them due to
illness and eviction from the family farm.
Orphanage in question was said to have burned down later.

HAD AT LEAST 4 CHILDREN 2 WENT TO HOSPITALS WITH MALNUTRITION
AND LACK OF CARE THE BOYS WENT WITH THEIR FATHER MAYBE CINCY

WERE EMILY MYERS AND ALICE MYERS. BOYS UNK.
MOTHER MAIDEN NAME WAS TAYLOR OR COLLINS. SHE WAS A DRUNK SO WE HEAR.
Kyde
San
Francisco, CA
My aunt Ann Schneider Kyde past away in March 1951. She left
behind a son, Gary Kyde, about 7 years old. Ann knew her health was
failing and had made arrangments to place her son for adoption with
friends of Mary Marlow(Ann's sister). Gary's father, known as Bob
Kyde, had remarried and moved back to Wisconsin. His new wife was not
willing to raise his son from a former marriage. Ann also did not want
Gary to have contact with his father because she felt he was abusive.
The adoptive parents did have some contact with Ann's parents after
the adoption, but everything stopped after a year. All contact with his
mother's family(who also live in WI)was then lost. Ann's parents
did not have the resources to attempt a search and life moved on.
However, Ann's family never forgot about Gary and always wondered how
he was. The last picture of Gary taken at age 7 always hung next to the
phone in the home of Ann's parents... just in case he ever called.
The adoptive parents stated they would use Gary's last name as his
middle name, but no one can remember the adoptive parent's surname.
However, we do think Mary Marlow remembered and/or knew of his
wherabouts, but she whould not divulge any information. She stating that
Ann had wanted the adoptive family to break all connection to her family
due to poverty and a family history of alcoholism. Mary Marlow took her
secret with her to the grave in 2009. While we want to honor Ann's
wishes and feel at the time she made a good choice for her son, it has
been almost 60 years and Gary's cousins would like to know him. We
have many pictures of him and his mother he may like to have.

birth at was called City Hospital at the time where she gave birth to
what she said were beautiful twin boys and they took them away from her.
She then remarried in 1948 still carrying this family secret to herself,
in 1949 she gave birth to a little girl (my mother), Nancy. My mother
never knew she had twin brothers until I became pregnant when i was very
young and a family member accidentally told my mom about the schuh
secret. Naturally my mother was devistsed when informed that she was not
the only child she beleived she was. She asked my grandma about the boys
and my grandmother got very upset and said that she didnt want to upset
the family that they went to. She cried like it happened yesterday, she
said, "they were so beautiful, and they had dark hair". She
also said that the nurse made a mistake and brought the twins into my
grandmas room not knowing that they were being adopted out so for the
next 50years she saw those beuatiful twin boys in her dreams she said.
She was everything to me, an amazing woman, every good characteristic I
have came from her and the love that she gave. My mother Nancy is and has
been dying to find out and meet who her brothers are. She wants them to
know that my grandma didnt want to let them go, they were very much loved
and wanted by her, but in the 20's you didnt make those kind of
decisions in a situation like that. I cant imagine how hard it must have
been for her, forced to give up children that she desparatly wanted to
love. Sadly, she passed away in 2009 never having the chance to meet
them. But, my mother would like to meet her brothers very much and I
wouldnt mind meeting my uncles. I also have another sister, and we both
have children. We live in North Royalton and in the Cleveland area.
Please, if you any info about these twin boys born around 1945-46 at City
Hospital in Cleveland Ohio, please contact us at 440-476-9400 or email us
at [email protected]. Thank you so much and we hope that you
would like to meet us too.

1900's
My Mother, Alice Rose Smith, was in an orphanage in Detroit, MI
in the early 1900's. Their home was on Agnes Street so I assume it
would be an orphanage in that area. Annunciation Catholic Church was
their parish.
Any "clues" would be appreciated.

Hello, I am
writing from northern California. I just found your post on the ancestral
orphans message board. Although it is 2002 posting, I am hoping you might
still be reading posts. I just recently learned that there was an
adoption in my familty in San Francisco 1909-1913. Like your experience,
I have no birth certificate for my family member and I do not know if he
was adopted from an orphanage or pirvately. I just wondered if you had
any success in your search and if you have any information you could
share with me.... any clues to orphanages, or posslble ways to learn of a
birth certificate.. Thank you for any advice you may have. Thank you.

I'm looking for any information on a Gerald (or Geral) Downs.
He is listed on the 1920 Census at St. Joseph's, but not on the 1930,
that I could see. He was listed as 2 years old in 1920. I believe he had
a sister there to. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Her name
was Virginia Downs. She is listed just a few names above him on the 1920
Census. She was adopted by a family member and taken to Kansas to live.
We didn't know about a little boy. I'm doing the family history
work and found his name when I was researching her. I want to know if
Virginia and Gerald were siblings. [email protected]

refugee camp accra Ghana
just 3
years
I am Benjamin Samvibi I hail from Free Town the Capital city of Sierra
Leone , I am 25yrs old boy Living as a refugee here in the Bujumbura Camp
in Accra Ghana. I have been here for about three years now because of
Fund deposited with a Storage Company by my late Father, but I am afraid
to seek for an assistance because of the way refugees here lost their
funds day in day out , now I don�t know if it�s the beneficiary or the
people in charge here that are running away with their funds, that was
why I decided to stay back and watch before doing or contacting anybody
for help because this is the only hope my Mother and I have in life so we
have to be extra ordinary careful.
But at this time we have to contact you for assistance because we no
longer find it funny here anymore my mother is very sick due to the kind
of food they give to us here everyday, No good food and the water is not
purify.
My late Father Dr. Anthony Samvibi was the Personal Assistant (PA) to the
first Prime Minister of Sierra Leone Sir Milton Margai in 1964 and my
Father was also one time the party chairman of National Unity Party (NUP)
in Sierra Leone he worked with the Government all his life.
Before his death he made my mother and I know that during the war he has
deposited $35million United States Dollar with a storage company as
Family belongings he gave my Mother and I all the necessary document
covering the Funds and the Agreement letter he signed with the Company
all are with us here in the Refugee Camp here in Ghana but we need a
foreign beneficiary to help us claim the Funds out of Africa for
investment according to my Fathers Agreement with the Company, so we
kindly seek your assistant to stand for us as our foreign beneficiary who
want to help us claim the fund but we have to trust you in this because
we have seen many like this before, but because of my mothers condition I
just have to seek for help now.
I and my mother have agreed in giving you 20% of the total Funds and any
expenses from you during the claiming of the Fund will be mapped out
before your percentage, but you must be aware that as soon as you receive
the Fund you are going to invite us to your country for the investment of
the Fund, this going to be confidential between you and us and for us to
have more faith in you, you can kindly make a trip to meet us here so
that we go together to the security company so that you talk to them face
to face as my Fathers business partner who want to claim our Fund for us
but if you can�t then you can let us know in your reply.
As soon as I get your reply I will furnish you with more details and also
forward the documents that are backing up the funds to you.
My Regards,
Benjamin Samvibi

I am trying to find records on my father, Earl Barnes. He was in
'The Home of the Innocents until he was 6 and then went to 'The
Orphanage of the Good Shepherd.' (both in Louisville Kentucky) I do
have the records for 'The Home of the Innocents but can't tell
how long he was there. He did go to 'The Orphanage of the Good
Shepherd in about 1895 when he was 6. I can follow him in a census there
in 1900 and after that in other census years, but I do not know anything
about his first few years of life. The Episcopal Diocese is supposed to
be going thru the records of that Orphanage (OOTGS) but there may be
nothing on them to help me. He was told he was born in Florida and that
his mother's name was Rena Grey, father Theodore. Just looking for
suggestions because I can't seem to find anything on these people. I
have a picture of him in his first year taken in Arkansas City, KS.

I am looking for my father-in-law's grandmother's birth

but the records on ancestry say that her father was born in Maryland so I
am assuming that they must have adopted her from Maryland. She was born
in 1890. She was already living with the Mariners by 1900 according to
the 1900 Federal Census so she had to be adopted before then. She was
married to George B. Batten and her son was George W. Batten, Sr. Any
help finding out who her natural parents were would be greatly
appreciated.

I am looking for information about my great grandfather, Charles

approximately 5-7 years old (1908-1910, give or take a year for error in
birth year). He did not mention the name of the orphanage but it may
have burned down or had part of it burn but I don't know when that
may have been. We believe his parents were Burney Eberley and Annie
Murphey though he used Everley as his last name. I have contacted
Catholic Social Services who referred me to St Francis St Josephs Homes
for Children. I have not yet heard anything from them regarding my
inquiry. Any information about such an orphanage or my great grandfather
would be a blessing. Thanks! Melissa

information about my mother's birth mother, and the circumstances of
her placement in the orphanage. Does anyone have any ideas about where to
apply to get information? Thank you very much.

For several years, now, I have been trying to find information
about my father's parents. My father (Earl Barnes) was put in the
'Home of the Innocents' when he was 5 years old in 1894. When he
turned 6 he was taken out and should have gone to 'The Orphanage of
the Good Shepherd,' but ended up at 'The House of Refusge.'
They turned him over to the Police Dept. who listed him as
'homeless,' and in the report that I have, they sent him to his
mother to be put in 'The Orphanage of the Good Shepherd. He was told
his mother died at his birth, but in this record, it says his parents are
separated and it refers to his mother as being in 'The Home of the
Innocents.' I have made a little progress over the years, but still
need the records of 'The Orphanage of the Good Shepherd.' If
anyone has any info on that, I would greatly appreciate it. The
Episcopal Diocese has some of these records but not of the time my father
was there. Thank you,

records for 'The Orphanage of the Good Shepherd.' The Episcopal
Diocese of Kentucky has some of the records, but not the ones that would
include my father. He was told his mother died when he was born, but in
a police record I have, where they have listed him as 'homeless,'
it says his parents are separated, and they were sending him to his
mother to get him admitted to 'The Orphanage of the Good
Shepherd.' She was, evidently in 'The Home of the Innocents'
at that time, too. I have just about exhausted all my resources and hope
to find something about his parents in the missing records. If anyone
has any knowledge of the whereabouts of the records of 'The Orphanage
of the Good Shepherd' around 1895 and after, I would greatly

Houston, Texas near downtown. She died in her 40s in 1938. We are not,

I am trying to find my late mothers past. I have no idea where
she was born, all i know it was New York City. She was never legally
adopted by her family in Erie,Pa. She was taken from father bakers in

down. My mother nor her family in Erie would tell me anything. I know
her name was Mary Goldish, thats what my dad told me . He is also dead./
Her mother and father in New York did in a flu epidemic, in the

Betty Newman
New York CIty
1920 - 1923
According to information obtained from the Children's Aid
Society, my mother was born March 6, 1920 as Betty Newman. Her mother
left her at the hospital, and although no details are given as to why,
the Dept of Welfare reported that her mother (Edith Newman) died in 1921
at approx 18 yrs of age, so perhaps she was ill. The birth records show
Edith Newman as her mother and Eugene Payne as the father. The address
given at the time was in Brooklyn, but proved to be fictitious. I have
written requests for birth/death records for Betty/Edith, and am still
waiting.
Little Betty was selected to travel on the Orphan Train in 1923 to
Sedalia, Missouri, where she was placed in two foster homes prior to
being adopted by the Linden Jones' who changed her name to Elizabeth
Jones.
What I'm wondering is this... Were Edith and Eugene truly her
parents or are those fictitious names as was the address given; and how
would I find this out? I'm not getting very far w/on-line searches.
Would perhaps doing a DNA testing point me in the right direction, or
would that be a waste of time/$$$?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

smith, ward
Muncie, Indiana
1880-1883
I am not sure of what my grandmother's surname was. On her
marriage certificate she indicated that she did not know her parents. Her
name was Emma Ward Parker Harris born January 1881. She married a
Jeremiah Harris, and her maiden name listed was Ward. She also used the
last name of Parker. Now on the 1901 Canadian census, her name is spelled
as Amy and there is a William and Lilly Parker that lived next to her and
her family. Also there is a marriage certificate for her "mother
Lilly" as also married at one time to Nathan Ward. Now, my father
(her son) informed some of my siblings that his mother's Indian
surname was "Featherbed", however, in all of my researching, I
have not been able to find that name. I believe that Emma could have been
orphaned at a very young age and raised by Lillie Smith who married
Nathan Ward and then William Parker. If anyone recognizes any of these
names and may have any information, especially on the name Featherbed,
please inform me. Thank you

His mother was dying of TB and she said his father had died in an

It is believed that Mr. Doyle was a musician.
Joseph Ross Doyle was adopted by an Applegate family in Indiana in 1912.
I am trying to learn more about his mother and to learn who Mr. Doyle
was. I would appreciate any help possible.
The Foundling Home put out a monthy magazine and Joseph Ross Doyle was
the "child of the month" in one issue in early 1912.
Thank you.

giving the girls up but they kept Harry with them. Grandma was eventually
sent to live on a farm and married the farmer's nephew. Auntie
wasn't so fortunate but was eventually reunited with her father.
There names were
Blanche Marion Price born 1897 in Wales.
Lena Mary Price born 1899 in Wales.
They came over to Canada in 1905.
The girls were separated and didn't find one another until mid-1950s.

James Edward Schan, Schahan,
Skaan,
Children's Aid Society Brooklyn, New
York
1898-1900?
BURNSIDE/GEE LOOKING FOR JAMES EDWARD GEE/Skahn, Skahan, Schahn,
Schan, Skaan, ? --BORN 1898 Brooklyn, NY, DIED 1961 California.
My mother's maiden name is GEE. Her birth father was born around
1898 in Brooklyn, NY, and around 1900 or 1901 he was placed into the
Children's Aid Society Orphanage, then at some point put on the
Orphan Train out to the Mid West.
He was eventually adopted in the Dakotas by a Mr. and Mrs. GEE. Mrs. Gee
was a school teacher. They lived in Homestead, Montana, where James met
my Grandmother, Alda Marie Fraley.
In January 1925, I think, my Grandpa, James Edward Gee married my
Grandma, Alda Marie Fraley, in Montana. Two sons, James Jr. and Robert,
were born either in Montana or elsewhere. Eventually they moved to
Spokane, Washington where, on August 16, 1931 my mother was born.
The James & Alda Gee family moved to California sometime after 1935
or 36 and lived in Inglewood, Compton, Willowbrook, Lynwood, Maywood, and
a few other towns in Los Angeles County area. They also had two younger
daughters: Nancy and Kathleen(Kathy).
James Edward Gee died in 1961 in California.
James Gee had an older brother, Harold(?) or Howard(?) who had not too
long after been sent to live with relatives in Florida or there abouts.
In the early 1940s, an Uncle of James(called Jim, or Ed) contacted him in
Los Angeles area. James Gee took his eldest son, James Jr., and met up
with his Uncle and found out that the family knew where James had been
all this time--from the Orphan Train adoption and on. This Uncle I think
lived in Florida.
James and Harold's(?) birth family we presume were very poor and this
may be why they gave James up to the Children's Aid Society &
Orphan Train, along with Influenza being epidemic at the time. We
don't know if James had sisters or other brothers.
My Aunt Nancy tried to search for his origins back in 1994 but with no
luck, other than the possible last name of SKAHN, SKAHAN, SCHAHN, SCHAN.
I'm thinking also maybe SKAAN or something like this, could be his
birth last name. He could be Jewish, Irish or Dutch, or?
If James Edward Gee's story sounds familiar, please contact me! My
mother always had wanted to KNOW WHO her Father's birth family
was/is, but she passed away 4 years back without knowing. So I'm
giving it a try. Thank you!

Bigley to

born in Davis City, IA and raised in Clear
Lake, IA
My grandma and her twin sister were adopted by Jesse Cooper and
Anna Lottie Davenport in the 1910's. They also had a sister adopted
by a family as well in Clear Lake, IA. There was also two brothers and
another sister. Bert and Marie Bigley were not adopted. Their biological
parents were Jacob and Amy Bigley and they were all born in Decatur Co.,
IA. They were given up for adoption in the 1910's. I am looking for
advise to find out just which twin sister was which. I understand their
first names were Loretta and Wonetta but I don't know which was my
grandma's first name and which was her twin sister's first name.
Only hearsay from some of the cousins still here.
I guess my question is how do I find this name change out? I went to
court house in Cerro Gordo Co., IA but nothing was listed there. Do you
think my search should go to court house in Decatur Co., IA? That may be
where they were adopted but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any help or hints. Also anyone else doing research on this
family could contact me. Thanks again.

1914?-1916
Looking for information on Lavina Lane born in 1902. She was the
daughter of Walter Lane. Her mother was either Margaret Lynch or Sadie
Argyle.
She lived in Pittsburgh, PA with her mother, father and brother also
named Walter - according to 1910 Census.
Eventually, Lavina and her brother Walter (b. 1900) made their way to
Cleveland - we don't know how/when or why.
Have Lavina's adoption record dated April 1916 in Ottawa county Ohio
- Lavina was adopted by the Franks family. At the time of the adoption
Lavina's surname is listed as Warren - parents unknown. Also, noted
was that she belonged to Cleveland Humane Society
If someone could provide info as to where I can continue my own search it
would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I would like to know if any one knew me rosemary or knew my
mother. Her name is Teresa . I had a best friend Maggie but my parents
could not adopt her as her mother wanted her. I would love to know the
foster family I lived with or if I had any brothers or sisters. I have
always wanted to find my mother. Catholic Charities cannot find her. I
would love to know who my father was also. My mother supposedly worked
for a rectory somewhere in Phila. PA but I was born in New York City,. I
was adopted in Camden, New Jersey. My adopted mother had lived in
Bayonne, New Jersey and my father came from Brooklyn, New York. There was
supposedly an aunt on my adopted mothers side of the family who was a nun
and arranged the adoption. I never knew this for sure. Ayt information
would be greatly appreciated. Both my adopted parents are now deceased.
I supposedly was in St Johns Orphanage in New York but I cannot locate
it. Can any direct me to it so I could look up records.
Thank You God Bless everyone.
Rose
Richmond or Weil
Gillis Orphan Home, Kansas City, Missouri
?
- 1950
My mother in law was placed in Gillis sometime in the 1940's.
She was put with a foster family in March 1949 and adopted by them in
1950. The parents, she and my father in law have all passed on. We are
trying to get any information possible about Gillis to see what it was
like for her to live there. Also if anyone remembers her and can tell us
some stories that would be wonderful.
The story we know is she was placed there when her parents were killed in
a car accident. We believe her name would have been LAURA LURETTA
RICHMOND. Her aunt and uncle adopted her but then became ill and was no
longer able to care for her so they placed her back into Gillis. Her name
then would have been LAURA LURETTA WEIL. We found a paper with the Gillis
name and a social worker by the name of Aunt Virginia. Any information
about Gillis, if anyone remember Laura and/or Aunt Virginia would be
great and appreciated.

Fernandez
Little Flower House of Providence, Wading River, L. I.,

1933 - 1942
I have recently received information from Little Flower House of
Providence about my mother and her 5 sisters - Fernandez girls. It was
thrilling to get incite into their childhood. I hope others of you can do
the same.
So I just wonder if anyone reading this may have known my mother, Helen,
and her sisters, Mercedes, Irene, Juanita, Frances and Ramona Fernandez.
If so, maybe you can tell me something about them.
Marie Oldfied
Father Baker's Home for Unwed Mothers, Buffalo NY
USA
1952
I am looking for any information regarding my paternal
grandmother, Marie Oldfield. Marie was born April 18, 1938 to parents
Nelson and Geraldine (Purcell) Oldfield. She became pregnant by my
grandfather, Edward Baker, Sr and sent to Father Bakers home for unwed
mothers in Buffalo, NY. Marie gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Baker,
10 days after turning 15, on April 28, 1953. My grandparents, Marie and
Edward, were married November 14, 1953, becoming pregnant for the second
time. Marie gave birth to a son, Edward Baker, Jr, my father, on October
7, 1954. Just 6 months after my dad's birth, From what I know, Marie
divorced my grandfather and left her children behind. Marie and her
sister, Patricia Oldfield ran off together and haven't been heard
from since. Patricia Oldfield was about 1 to 2 yrs older than Marie, she
was also married and had a daughter who was suffering from an illness (I
believe). Patricia's husband used radio to plead with her to return
home due to her daughter's illness. Patricia, nor Marie, returned,
and the little girl died without her mother. Marie may be living under an
alias because I have recently learned that Patricia returned to the
Buffalo, New York (NY) area, but lived under the first name Carmen.
(spelling unknown) I was told that Patricia AKA Carmen started a new
family, had a daughter named, Jeannette or Jeanette who learned of her
being Patricia only after her passing. Marie has other siblings Nelson
Oldfield, Pauline (Oldfield) Male, nichname Paula, Selina who is
handicapped and living in some kind of assisted living facility in New
York, Pearl, Henry and possibly others. Marie's mother, Geraldine
remarried after she became widowed. I believe she only remarried one
time, and the name was Geraldine Lebrun. Patricia's (Carmen's)
daughter, Jeannette, called my cell phone from a restricted number about
2 years ago in Decemeber, left a voicemail, stating her name and her mom
was Patricia, Carmen as she knew her, and she would try calling after
dinner. I never did hear from her again, and have had no luck in finding
her on my own. I do know Jeannette lives in the Buffalo New York area. I
found a marriage license what I believe could be my grandmother, Marie,
in Reno Nevada to a Robert J Green. It is a possibility that she moved to
Nevada, married and returned to Buffalo NY or possibly still living in
Nevada. Anyone with any information on my family, please contact me at
[email protected], thank you!

Charles A. Diser (Possibly
Roy)
Missouri or Illinois, Most likely Lincoln,
Missouri
Unknown
My name is Wendy and I am trying to learn more about my grandfather,
Charles A. Diser.
I am having a difficult time, and would be grateful for any leads. ;)
Below is the information I currently have or know about my grandfather
mostly through research on-line; some of the information may not be
valid.
Facts:
His DOB: January 21, 1895.
Possible birth states: Missouri or Illinois
Possible Birth Places:
Alexander County, Illinois
Lincoln County, Missouri
My grandfather was a tall man; around 6 foot and I believe had light skin
and eyes.
It is possible my grandfather was adopted or lived in an orphanage and
the location of the orphanage would most likely be Missouri or Illinois.
I have heard no stories in relation to his birth parents or his parents.
I have hard a couple of different stories from elderly family members of
my late grandmother:
One story involves him being the responsible caretaker as a young boy
when two young relatives who was supposed to be watching were bit by a
rabid fox causing them to die resulting in my grandfather being placed in
an orphanage.
I have also heard that my grandfather may have spent time in prison for
bootlegging and possibly murder.
My grandfather�s sons remember very little, and were unaware of the
stories I came about and just shared.
My grandfather�s sons remember visiting a Jane and Lilly in St. Louis and
called them �Aunt�. They had daughters and this family was very close to
my grandfather.
It is also possible that my grandfather�s name �Diser� may be my father�s
adopted name or given name. I found information I believe to be linked
to my grandfather indicating two different names: Charles A. Diser and
Charles A. Roy.
The social security number we have for my grandfather is invalid.
There is also a chance my grandfather had children besides the relatives
I know and my father. I found information indicating he had a daughter
named, �Hazel�, who possibly resided in Chicago and was married. I
couldn�t make out her last (married) name, but it appeared to be
�Lancaster�, but I am not positive. I would estimate she was born in the
early (1905-1930�s).
It appears my grandfather was married twice (possibly more than twice) to
a Nellie with a DOB of 2-14-02. Her parent�s names: Fred Mansker and
Elizabeth Sermon according to the death certificate I located. Nellie
died in 1944, and it appears a couple of years later is when my
grandfather married my grandmother, �Marion Finch� in Belleville,
Illinois.
It appears my grandfather resided in East St. Louis, Missouri later in
his life. He lived on Cleveland and Freeman Street in East St. Louis,
Missouri. It appeared he also worked for a packing company as a security
guard before his death.
My grandfather passed in October of 1956 in the St. Louis, Missouri area.
He had 4-5 sons who were very young when he passed away. His wife, my
grandmother passed away around 1985. My father who is the youngest son
was born I believe in 1953.
My grandfather left his sons thinking highly of him and their memories
are positive ones. It appears he ended his life in a positive manner.
If you have any information or leads for me, please don�t hesitate to
share.
Happy Holidays Again,
Sincerely,
Wendy J

Curtis
Rochester, NY, Monroe
1913-
1929
I'm trying to locate my grandmother's history Mary or Mae
Curtis born abt 1913.(marriage document says born in RochesterNY, but
haven't confirmed yet. She was an orphan, Native American and
tuberculosis in her youth. Her name was noted on her baptism 1921 (9 yrs
old) @Holy Cross Church, CharlotteNY on May 21, 1921 with the notes
parent's unknown, but the names Frank McCrame or McCrane or Crane as
father and Mildred Curtis as mother. Also noted is under care of Mrs.
Margaret Lockwood and under direction of Children's Aid Society. I
did find her at Maragret Lockwood home in 1920 Census as Mae Curtis with
other orphans living with the widow and her granddaughter Frances Doty.
Later if my memory serves me correctly I think my grandmother saying she
had a brother.
Hillside organization to aid children informed me about the Infant's
Summer Hospital in Charlotte for treatment of TB.
Can anyone share any resources or anything to help with me trying to
locate her. The possibility exists that Mary/Mae Curtis may not be her
real name, fact they often gave orphans new names.
Can anyone give a scenerio or help direct me to look or explore further?
My email [email protected]. Thank you for any and all help. God
Bless You for your kindness��

Glaser/Walenta/Gearheart(Gerhard or Gerhart, etc.)
Cleveland, Ohio, Toledo, Ohio, and Flint, Michigan
1906-late 1970's
I am trying to trace my husband's lineage. His father was
adopted from Catholic Charities in Toledo, Ohio between 1921-1923.
Catholic Charities has ignored all my calls and letters. My father-in-
law's mother later contacted him but told him very little of his
ancestry. My father-in-law's mother went by Frances Walenta, born
Baby Girl in Cleveland in 1906 to Joseph Glaser (35) and Carolyn
Birringer (or Bisinger or Piringer...)(25) at 1700 Lorain. After my
father-in-law's birth in Toledo, Frances is listed on a marriage
certificate as Frances A. Glaser in Flint, Michigan. I can find no sign
of her parents on any document other than her birth certificate. Other
than her birth certificate, my father-in-law's birth certificate, a
marriage license, and random records after her marriage in 1926 in Flint,
Michigan, I can find no mention of Frances at all, not even where she got
her nursing degree, which she had before 1926, or census data. Any
suggestions?

Does anyone have any information on where I can go to find out
more information on children that were farmed out? Sometimes they used
that term instead of adoption. It would be the Birmingham, Al area. He
was farmed out between 1900 and 1910. I find him after 1910 in Monroe, AL
as a Farm Laborer. I understand that his birth parents names may be Mary
Cox and John or Ben Hill.

wall in trying to find the parents of my g-g-g- grandmother, Lucy Elixa
(or Eliza) Thompson. Have a birthdate listed as June 6, 1836. have also
seen as 1835 and 1837. Only have family stories to go on, and that is
that Lucy was an orphan(some say full blood or mixed Native American)
and was raised by the Humphrey(s) family, of whom she married their son
James Dillon Humphreys. Lucy and James later moved to Iowa, possibly
Indiana and finally stayed in Fay county Oklahoma. Lucy died in 1920 in
Fay, Oklahoma. Cannot ascertain parentage from death cert or death cert
does not exsist as according to professionals hired to find this.
Thank you!

Russell
New York
1920-1950
Searching for 4 children. Two of which I know were girls. My
father , his two brothers and two younger sisters were placed in St.
Christophers in Dobbs Ferry NY before 1930 (the boys show on this census
but not the girls)
A letter written in the early 60s by a nun st the home to my uncle stated
there were 10 children in his family. All three boys can remember them
and two younger sisters going to the home. One other son I have accounted
for his death. That leaves four more children unaccounted for and
missing.
Birth parents would of been Willard Levi aka William L Russell and Mae
Louise Williams Russell.
I have written to St. Christophers every single year since 1979 and they
refuse to answer. Were the girls adopted illegally? Where are the
missing children in this family? Why wont they give the records. My
father and both brothers and my grandparents are all deceased now.
The one thing all three boys always wanted to know was what happened to
the other children? Did they die at St. Christophers? are they buried
near there? where they adopted and had a wonderful life? If you know of
someone who would of been born between 1913-1930 and was adopted through
St. Christophers please contact me. But since the grandparents traveled
around the US we are really not sure what happened to two of the missing
children. Were they left with relatives some where? But all three boys
know for certian that the two little sisters went to St. Christophers
with them and were never seen again after the first day
there.

Sheehan
Ireland
I am looking for information about our grandmother Johanna
Sheehan from Ireland who married my grandfather Onesipe Boudreau a sea
captain from Nova Scotia, Canada. All we know is that Johanna was born
1857 and came to Canada with her mother and father and a brother Robert.
Johanna was a baby. We have been told that her mother passed away during
the voyage. Johanna's father name was Thomas Sheehan and her mother
was Anita (or Mary) Day or Dae. We have been told they arrived in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. No one has any record of her whereabouts from
arrival to when she married January 20, 1873 in Wedgeport, Nova Scotia.
Johanna might have been placed in an orphanage and what about her
brother, Robert, and father Thomas? Johanna died 1929 in Nova
Scotia.
Fauver Ella

I am looking for information on my grandmother Ella Rebecca
Fauver. It is said that she was put in the children's home in
Burlington County NJ after her mother passed away in 1883/4. Then she
may have been taken out of foster care by the Shinn family. That is all
I know. I would be grateful if someone could help me with this. It has
been a family mystery.
Ruston,Ploof
Vermont
I have been researching for information for the parents of Sarah
Ann Ploof with little success.
I have some of Sarah's children's birth records, all born in
Ferrisburgh, Vermont & Sarah's death record from the Town of
Ferriburgh that state she was born Sarah Ann Ruston in Charlotte,Vermont
and died on October 28,1887 at the age of 47 in North Ferrisbirgh,
Vermont.An adopted child~parents can't be found. I figure she was
born around 1840.
I found only two birth records of the Ploof children that lists
Sarah's name as Susan Eubar born in Charlotte on one and the other
birth record states Sarah's maiden name as Reyano again born in
Charlotte.
I have contacted a church in Charlotte. A Ploof child was baptized and
Sarah's name is listed as Sarah Rouillard.
I figured the reason why Sarah had several last names is that her birth
parents were unable to take care of their children and the children went
to live with other families.
I did however find in the census a Phillip & Sarah Ruston in
Whitehall, Washington County,NY listed with daughter Sarah. If I'm
not mistaken, Washington County was part of Vermont back in those days.
Sarah married Abraham Ploof on May 17,1858 by John Chase, Minister of the
Gospel in Colchester, Vermont. Witnesses were: Joseph Norman & Mary
Seguin.
Was there an adoption agency in Charlotte? I believe there was a home for
orphans in Burlington, Vermont.
I had contacted Montpelier, Vermont hoping to get a good reply... they
found nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

she had a brother to died young, she also had a sister name Annie. Her
father died sometime after her mother. I believe all three children where

Horman Jackson. They were married in 1923 in Memphis, Tenn, i think. If
anyone could help me i would appreciate it. Thank You, Iris J.

located in 2nd Ward, Ashland, Montgomery Twp., Ashland County, Ohio.
Also, could have been placed with a neighboring farm family. I have been
unable find her. She would have been my great aunt.
Mitchell, Mitchel
California
1894-1907
I recently found out that my Grandmother was a Foster child.
Hazel Mitchel was born 1894-1896, in California. We had always believed
Jan 1896 in Oakland, but according to newspaper articles when she was
taken from her Foster Parents Mr and Mrs Mithcel in 1907 she was then 13
years old. This took place in Phoenix Arizona.
Any information would be appriciated. I do not even know where to look
next.
Shephard, Maude Indian parents
both died
Don't know
1900
??
I was told my Grandmother was an orphan Indian girl. My
Grandfather took her from an orphanage, and a few years later married
her, they had 8 children. She died in 1936, car accident. Her birth
year was around 1888, they lived in Harlan Ky., and other close
surrounding areas. I don't know if the name Shephard was given to
her by her parents, or an unknown family. I do not know where to begin
looking for info. Her husbands name was William Jennings Short, he was
alot older than she was. I do not know if they were legally married, I
was told they were, but it is heresay. I am looking to find out who her
parents were....I was told they died from a plague that swept the Indian
villiages. Shoshone was the tribe I am told. She worked as a midwife in
and around Harlan Ky.

amary Ann Sullivan
St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, Chicago Ward 20, Cook County,
Illinois USA
1870 (1870 Census)
Trying to locate information re Mary Ann Sullivan believed to be
the grandmother of my husband, Gerald Lobb. The 1870 census shows her at
age 8 in the St joseph's Orphan Asylum, Ward 20, Cook Co., Illinois.
Also listed in the census are Maggie Sullivan, age 14, Rosa Sullivan, age
12 possibly sisters?) The 1880 Census shows her along with Rose as the
daughter of Richa Sullivan and still living in Chicago. Our records
later show her as the daughter of Martin Sullivan and Anne Elizabeth
White. We show no birthplace for Mary Ann. We wonder if she was
possibly adopted by Martin Sullivan and as she alreay had the name of
Sullivan in the Orphan Home that she might have been a relative of
Martin's, possible a brother's child? Mary Ann later married
Michael Ryder and lived in Chicago until her death there in 1904 in
Deerfield, Ill. This is the only oossible connection we can find to our
Mary Ann and wonder if she is one and the same person. Are there any
record available as to her parents when she was placed in the orphanage?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. Catherine Lobb ([email protected])

1956-58
I am looking for three half brothers. Our mother was Eunice Mae
"June" Sheriff b:1928 d:1993 . The three brothers father was
Joe Galaviz Jr. b: 1927 Mammoth,Juab County, Utah d: 1957 Rock Springs,
Sweetwater, Wyoming. I have a copy of Joe Galaviz death certificate and
it lists his parents as, Joe Galaviz Sr. b: 1886 and Guadalupe Arrelano
b: 1888, both from Mexico. Joe and Eunice lived in Rock Springs, Wyoming
during the 50's. Joe was killed in a car accident in 1957. After
his death our mother Eunice returned to her home town of Calhoun, Gordon
County, Georgia. I was born 1958, 1 year after the three brothers were
removed from the home. They were removed by the Gordon County
Sheriff's department and a witness told me they took the boys to a
Catholic orphanage in Atlanta where they were adopted. I contacted
Catholic Adoption Service in Atlanta without any luck. The boys birth
names are:
Joseph Dale Galaviz b: 1952
Terry Eugene Galaviz b: 1954
Kenneth Robert Galaviz b: 1956
The birth years are estimated based on the only picture I have seen of
the three sitting on the front porch of their Calhoun, Gordon County,
Georgia home before they were removed. Even I was removed from the home
and adopted by the Stewart family. My last name was Fuller. Eunice
never married Joe or my father James. We have two older half sisters.
One is still alive and we stay in constant contact. We are searching for
the three missing brothers.

Schumann
Cleveland, OH

My great grandmother, Johanna (aka Hanna) Schumann (born 09 Nov
1889), was an unwed mother. I think the father's last name was
Hinchcliff, but that's only what I've been told from the family.
I can not find nothing on any sort of marriage and was told that Hanna
Schumann thought she was married, but that Mr. Hinchcliff was already
married (a bigamist?).
My grandfather, Charles Harold Schumann (or Hinchcliff) was born on 10
July 1910 in Cleveland, Ohio. I can find no birth record and I believe
my great grandmother went somewhere for unwed mothers to give birth. But
where?
My grandfather was adopted in 1912 when my great grandmother married
Milan Miller in Detroit, MI in 1912. His name became Charles Miller.
I'm just looking to see if there's any way of finding out where
and under what name my grandfather, Charles Miller, was born. Are those
records locked up once a person is adopted?

I am trying to identify my father�s birth family. He was born
August 7th 1925 in the House of Providence Detroit, Michigan and adopted
a year later (Sept 21, 1926) by Albert and Olivia Luckesen. My father�s
birth name was listed on the adoption papers as John Joseph Budryk. The

Paul as an orphanage and a maternity hospital for unwed mothers. No
birth record could be found by Michigan�s Dept of Public Health and the

The House of Providence was located at 14th Avenue and West Grand
Boulevard. Designed in the English Renaissance style, the building was
erected in 1909-1910 and had accommodations for 150 patients. House of
Providence was built in Detroit and was run by the daughters of Charity
of St. Vincent De Paul as an orphanage, a maternity hospital and an
infant asylum. The House of Providence was converted into a general
hospital and renamed Providence Hospital. Apartments were built in the
hospital to house unwed mothers and their children.
The building was demolished sometime after the hospital moved to
Southfield in 1965. The Young Manor apartment building is on the site
now.

Hi To All the Girls that lived at St. Joseph's Hall in
Brooklyn, New York. I put together the below email and sent it out to
all the young ladies that have posted on this message board in recent
years to present. I did this so that if any of the emails are returned
as "undeliverable" that there would still be a possible way of
getting this email out to you in the hopes that from time to time you
return to revisit this site.
"OPEN LETTER TO ALL THE GIRLS FROM ST. JOSEPH'S HALL"
My hope for all of you, your families and loved ones is that you are all
doing well.
My intent in doing this is to create a snowball affect where names will
be added to the list until it becomes so big and beautiful that we will
have no other option but to have the greatest reunion ever!!!!!
A little about me, I am Angie when I was at St. Joseph's Hall around
early to mid 60s. I have two younger sisters, Myrna and Marilyn.
If any of you girls are in contact with any other girls please add on to
this email header that I have begun. Let's just keep it going, share
as much or as little information, pictures past and present as you want.
I will be very honest, I do not have very much time to be on my computer
everyday, but this email and what it means to so many of us will have me
log in at least if not everyday at the end of every week at the minimal.
I created an email address that will be familiar to all of us girls from
St. Joseph's Hall. [email protected]
Shoreham.
There's this sense of urgency that is the driving force for all of
this.
Love You All, God Bless
Angie
PS: You will note that I have no actual names next to the email
addresses. I didn't want to list names without permission from each
one of you. I respectfully ask that when you respond that you please
give your name used at the time that you were at St. Joseph's Hall
and a current email address, only if you wish to.
No information will be passed along if that is your wish.

Grace Louise Horne
born in Mssachusettes
I would ask anyone with any info to email me directly at
[email protected]. My great-great grandmother was adopted
somewhere in or near Massachusettes when she was a little girl. It is a
fact that she had a twin brother, adopted out seperately, and other
siblings. When she was still in an orphanage, before being adopted, all
of her records were destroyed. We believe she died at age 107, but there
is no proof as no one ever knew her birthday. She was believed to have
been born around 1886. Her parents were killed in a horse and buggy
accident, assumably in Massechusettes (I know my spelling is wrong) and
her siblings were all sent to different places. We have NO information
of her family. If anyone thinks they can help please do. My grandmother
loved my nanny very much, and now at age 80 would really like to know
where my nanny truly came from. We want to know who our family was and
is. Please help if you can. Thank you

helen l. moore
elmira ny chemung county
1935-
1945
My mother was born in Elmira NY to Ella M. Moore and Henry
Clayton Moore Sr.. About the time my mother Helen Louise Moore was 6 or
7, she, and her little brother Stephen Wayne Moore (the 2 youngest
children) were placed into the Chemung County NY orphanage due to the
mother being poor, ill, and dying..while the father was to poor/unable to
care for the 2 children. There the 2 children stayed until they were 16
(when social services cut ya loose). In the process, they were fostered
out to various people..THEY Valley (edna) family, and the Hazen (al and
his wife isobel) family, Elmira NY. Information is extremely sketchy, if
one cal find any at all..I have census reports, but nothing listing the 2
children in the orphange. THE only things I have to go by, is, the
information my mother has provided..which is so devastating, so
sickening, no one can imagine the horrors these places put children
through. With this, the ending product is, children were so damaged
mentally/emotionally, verbally, physically leaving such deep scars, hang
ups, its hard to imagine. WHICH is why, its been years of myself and my
brother in TRYING to track SOME kind of information on this place, and
the people who ran them. CAN anyone tell me, where I can find the chemung
county orphanage rosters where every childs name that was there is listed
from the 1930s through to 1945 time frame? THE few places I think I might
get some information expect a fee/payment, which I really can not
afford.

This is a long shot...
I am searching for a child that my grandparents had told us died at the
age of approx 2 weeks. However, some of the information we were given
just does not add up. There was never much conversation concerning this
child, almost as if it was a forbidden subject.
The male child was born in the early 1940's, Coventry, Connecticut.
Actual birthdate is unknown. He was born at home.
He was born to Leroy Francis & Mary Helen (Charland) Beaumont. The
child's birth name was Roland Beaumont, middle name unknown.
When the child was approx 2 weeks old he died of a heart defect. My
grandmother did not attend his funeral, my grandfather always told us he
was born in the Nathan Hale Cemetery in Coventry, CT. There are no
Beaumonts or any other relations to the Beaumonts in that cemetery. It
was also said, my grandfather gave a vague location of the grave and then
stated the grave they were "told" that was their child was over
there, but it had the marker of another child. I just cannot imagine not
knowing where your child has been buried. My grandmother would not settle
for that, although my mother remembers my grandmother being upset with my
grandfather for not confiriming the location...or so it is told.
My mother remembers the day the child was removed from her home. Her
father, my grandfather and his sister took the child "to the
hospital."
There are no birth, baptismal, or death records of this child. My mother,
Barbara Beaumont and her brother, Robert Beaumont, along with several
cousins were baptized, made first communions and were confirmed within
the same church, St. Mary's in Coventry/Eagleville, CT. (children
born before and after Roland would have been born and or died)
All the unanswered questions or holes in this "story" have
caused us to think perhaps they gave the child up for adoption, if not
for any reason but because times were tough for the young struggling
family.
If anyone has any information leading to the whereabouts of this child, I
would appreciate hearing from you.
Like I said, this is a long shot, but an avenue worth taking.
Thanks so much,
Sherri Evans-Czmyr

during that time. My grandmother was fostered, adopted by a family named
the Mary Sutton who later married a man named Walter Fuston. There were

Looking for information regarding my mother and father. Mother
was Beverly Parker and my birth name was Phyllis Parker born April 13,
1954 in London, Ont. I am assuming my mother was at Bethesda Home. I
think she was from Woodstock Ont and had brothers.
Elmer
A child between 1915-1922 was one of triplets. Possibly mother
and Father died. We know he took the last name, (Odom) from foster
parents who lived in Mississppi. He was in ww11 and didnot know his
middle name so he was given James as his middle name. I am seeking his
real last name. It could have started with a B. Also he and his siblings
were orphans during 1917 and 1930.
He claims he was born September 20 1917. He is now dead, but his children
live on as Odoms.
Mcminis/McMenis/McManis
Possibly Blount,

1816
- 1836
I have tried to find the parents of my gg grandmother Rutha
McMinis born in 1816 in Tennessee. I haven't been successful in
finding my gg grandmother's parents. She married Elias Craft in 1836
in Morgan Co. Alabama. Many many records have been checked, but
haven't learned names of her parents. Rutha is said to have been a
percentage of Native American. I found a family living in Morgan Co. AL
on the 1830 census and they had a female slave the age Rutha would have
been at that time. When the female slave is grown, she is no longer in
the home. I have speculated my gg grandmother may have been listed as a
slave, but in fact part of the family. This is mere speculation and
don't have any proof of this. Rutha may have had two siblings: Joseph
and Mary Ann McMenis. They were both Rutha's age and lived in the
same county and regiment in the same time period. Rutha and Elias had a
son named Joseph and a daughter named Mary. Many descendents have
searched for the answer to this long held mystery. Any advice would be
appreciated. Thank you! Darlene

May Malloy
New York
maybe 1920's
My grandmother, May Malloy (born in 1913) and her brother James
Malloy ( a few years older) were placed in a home run by Nun's. The
home was in New York and they remained their until they were of age to
leave on their own. Her mother died during child birth and her father
shortly after. I knew her but she never discussed her life at the
orphanage and my father knows nothing of her parents (his grandparents).
She does not come up in the census until she was married. I can find
nothing on her life before her marriage and I do not know her parents.
She had 3 children Diane, Susan, and James and the nun's knew my
father and his siblings well.
Hoping someone can tell me where to look or if there is an archive of
children placed.

Florentine

unknown
I am looking for any information on my maternal grandfather. His
name was Joseph Edward Florentine. He married Dorothy in the late teens
or early 20's of the 1900's. He was the father of 3 who lived in
St. Paul, Minnesota. He died in Isanti, Minnesota in about 1960. The date
of birth I have is feb 08, 1900. he died on Nov 28, 1959. The story we
have known is he was left at an orphanage in New York City as an infant
by his destitute parents after immigrating from Italy. The orphanage
burned sometime during or after his stay and he said there are no records
on him left. he claimed to have no knowledge of his history. was there an
orphanage that burned sometime after 1900 but before about 1915? I cannot
find any evidence of this.
What i am looking for is any information that might assist me on finding
any of his history.
Ryan, Melvin
"Household of Gerald Brace" Cuyahoga Ohio
1920
I am looking for any information about my father, Melvin Ryan. He
knew little of his family, and said he was either born in Ohio, or
Missouri.Dates vary from 1902 to 1912 "or there about"
I came across a listing in the US Census of 1920 Of a Melvin Ryan then 4
years old listed as being in the Household of Gerald Brace". Looking
at this list it appears to be some sort of children's home with
Gerald Brace being the first child listed.
It list 46 children and 7 adults. There is another child Ruth Ryan age 9
listed, I am not sure if the two were related.
The only confirmed listing I have of him is in the 1940 Census when he
was listed with my mother and my oldest brother in York Nebraska. My
parents were married in 1937.
He thought his parents were named Charles Ryan and Helen Ferguson, but I
have found nothing linking these names with his.
If anyone knows any information on this "children home" or have
heard of my father or of Ruth Ryan, I would appreciate hearing from you.
My father died in 1968 in York Nebraska.

Andrew A., Joseph B and Anne
Novak
St. Hedwig's Orphanage, Chicago, IL
USA
unknown
Joseph B., Anne and Andrew A. were dropped off at St.
Helwig's Orphanage after their mother passed away. Andrew was born on
11/24/2003, Anne was born 06/14/1906. Their original names are unknown
because after they left the orphanage they changed their last names and
didn't really speak of their father again. Is there any way that the
orphanage had listings of the children's names before the 1920
census? They would have already left by then. They changed their name to
Novak and we think their name might have been Nowakowski, Novacheski,
Novach, Nowack or something similar. If there was an earlier listing than
1920 we may be able to research and find out their back history from the
Novak name.

Mary Ann Bell
CA,
1953 to 1954
I am looking for Mary Ann Bell, who gave birth to Allen Lewis
Bell on 02/17/1954. It states in the paperwork that she was born
05/27/1931 in Georgia. She was a student at Duke University in a pre-med
program and was a nurse by trade. She was involved with a doctor
who's first name was Thomas and upon the break-up, found she was
pregnant. Thomas ( who was married with two children) never knew about
the pregnancy. Mary Ann moved to CA with an uncle and then gave birth at
University of California Hospital . She was referred to public welfare
from the maternity home in which she was staying to give the child up for
adoption. I know that she went back to Georgia to take care of her ailing
parent upon relinquishing the child to the state in March 1954. There is
a letter from her once she went back to Georgia asking how the child was
doing. Allen was adopted by Ray Griffith and his wife and given the name
Gavin M. Griffith. on the birth certificate her first name is listed as
Mary but in her paperwork from the agency it is listed as Ann. I do know
she also had a sibling named Nancy who was born in 1942 and her
mother's name was Irene. Mary Ann did have an appendectomy in 1944
and was in an automobile accident in 1941. She was raised by her
grandparents until 11 and then went to live with her mother and and step-
father. Any help would be appreciated.
Mary Ann Bell / Allen Lewis
Bell
SanFrancisco ,CA,
1953-
1954
Mary Ann Bell (listed as May on Allen's birth certificate
and Ann on the state paperwork), was born May 27, 1931 in Georgia. She
gave birth at University of California Hospital to Allen Lewis Bell (the
name given on adoption papers) on 02/17/1954. Mary Ann relinquished
Allen on 03/12/1954 to the state for adoption and then returned home to
Georgia. She wrote a letter upon her return home of a cousin who had just
adopted a baby girl that was visiting. On the paperwork, maternal
grandmother of Allen was listed as Irene (born in 1913) and and aunt
Nancy (born in 1942). Mary Ann attended Duke University to study pre-med
and was a nurse. She met Allen's father who was a doctor while
working at a nearby clinic. Allen's father , names as Thomas was
already married and had two children. Mary Ann broke of the relationship
and then went to CA, where she realized she was pregnant. Thomas never
knew of the pregnancy. She returned home to Georgia to help take care of
her step-father who had suffered a heart attack. She later wrote from
Duke University to go on with the relinquishment. Miss Bell was a
protestant.
The paperwork describes Miss. Bell as having small facial features, high
pitched voice and cheerful. She had completed her nursing training and 2
yrs of college. She enjoyed swimming, tennis, listening to music and
reading. She returned to Duke University to complete her pre-medical
training. On the paperwork it does state that miss Bell had an
appendectomy in 1944 and a car accident in 1941.
She requested Allen be placed in a protestant family. He was adopted by
Ray W. Griffith and his wife Arlyce. Allen was given the name Gavin
McKean Griffith. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

We are looking for a long lost sister who was in an orphanage on
Paris Street in Muskegon, Michigan in the early 1940's. Her name
when she was put in the orphanage was Elizabeth Bower, she was born
sometime between 1939 and 1941. Her parents were Jim and Mabel (Sheriff)
Bower and they lived in Benzonia before the father left which meant the
children were put in the orphanage. The other siblings are George
William Bower (born 11/1/1936-Died 2/4/2003), Sarah Bower Spencer born in
1933, Mary Bower also born in 1933, Clare Bower and Bob Bower. The

came to St. Marks Kansas on an orphan train in 1901 or 1902 and was
adopted by a family living in the Mt. Hope, Kansas area. When he was a

a lady was looking for her brother, Paul Thompson. My grandpa's
parents did not let him meet her. I am looking for any information on
the person who placed this ad. The orphanage has already given me all
the information they have, but there is nothing about his parents or
siblings. Thank you.

NYC abt 1872 placed in a home for destitute children before 1880 NYC or
Dobbs Ferry
1878 through 1886
I am searching for a sibling of my Grandmother. She was one of
five children who were placed in Homes for Destitute Children by her
parents prior to 1880. The three oldest sisters were placed in NYC and I
have found them. My Grandmother, Theresa Louise was only 3 years old when
she was placed in the St.Christophers Home in Dobbs Ferry, NY. She
remembered she had a brother, Jack who was five years older, born about
1872. Her parents were James and Margaret Flanagan. They died as a result
of a coach accident in NYC but her parents did not pass away until 1884
and 1885.
Records at St.Christopher's were destroyed by fire.
She was placed in several homes by several families, but was separated
from her siblings.
Her three older sisters were Agnes, Terese and Mary Ellen.
If anyone has any information about a Jack (or John) Flanagan born in
about 1872, who was placed in a home for Destitute Children in the NYC
area in 1879-1880, who was orphaned in about 1885 I would greatly,
GREATLY appreciate hearing from you.

Mark John Millar
St. Vincent Hall for Boys - Brooklyn, New York
1948 -1967
My husband, Mark John Millar grew up in the upper crust of
Catholic Orphanages and couldn't be adopted, because his Mother never
agreed. He was forced away from his Mother when he just a few days old.
He can remember that even to the point of describing the Nurse. A women
with a White Nurses hat, Blond bands with her hair up under her hat with
black rimmed glasses.
We have hired 2 Attorneys in 2 states. Both of the attorneys were
threatened and their families. So they didn't want to handle getting
his birth certificate.
We had sent our $40.00 to Albany to get his birth Certificate. About 3
weeks after we got a letter to please contact the New York City Diocese.
We wrote a nice letter to them with a Certified Copy of our Marriage
Certificate. We got Married March 17, 1997 in South Austin in a Lovely
Church just South of Barton Creek.
We got a response back about a month later. First we weren't
Married according to the Catholic Church! First Mark would have to move
back up to New York City Alone! If he wanted I could Follow him. Then
we would have to wait for 6 Months. And get Permission from the Local
Bishop to get married. If it was granted, we would have to Live up there
for 2 years as a Good Catholic Husband and Wife and maybe at the end of
that Mark Might get his birth Certificate!
Mark and I do not wish to go through all of that or sleep apart! We are
Married under GOD and we have a Beautiful Marriage License to Prove it
and about 300 Souls that came to our Wedding.
Peace Be Unto You All and God Bless! Jane.

there. She doesn't know where either. She knows he came from
Rochester, New York. I found a record that said he was born in August of

that he died for sure. If anyone could help me figure out how to find the

found out about the first wife that had a child that was ill. Any info

I am the daughter of Charles Leonard Miles, searching for the
family of his father, Charles Leonard Miles, Sr. (b.3 OCT 1889). Charles
Sr.'s WWI draft card lists Corning, NY as his birthplace, and my
father's birth certificate lists Beaver Dams NY as his birthplace. I
am unable to find any record of Charles Sr. in either of these locations
or to find a birth certificate for him. The first record of him I have
is in 1917 in Ware County, GA, where he was working as a "turpentine
distiller" and he married my grandmother, Pearl McDonald. They
moved to Palmetto, FL where my father and his sister Joyce Miles were
born and then he died of TB in 1925 (just six short years later). My
grandmother contracted TB and went west with the children, where she also
died in 1933 and their step-father put them in the orphanage in Portales.
If anyone has any information or ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.
Also if anyone else has a relative who was in the same orphanage, please
contact me as I have extensive info from their records which I will
share.

Her past was held as a secret. There was a great fire at St.

him. We were out seeing the town, and he explained that he was raised in
an orphanage and adopted at the age of 7 yrs. by the Wishart's who
could not have children. He was born in 1945. He may have been in one of
the Cherokee boarding schools. How can I find this out? He did take me to
Cherokee, NC and said, "This is where we come from." Please
tell me how to get the sealed records "unsealed" for

Im looking for the biological parents of my Grandfather. His
adopted name was Joseph Anton Sommer. Born: March 19, 1888. He was
taken in by the Sommer family in 1891 in the state of Missouri. They
adopted him in July 1899. On his adoption record the name
"Schlater" was his name. The Judge that took care of the
adoption was John J. Sommer. We always heard he was from Missouri but
recently another story came to light that he was traced to Texas. My
mother thought that George and Pauline Burkhart was somehow connected to
him. So please if you have any information pertaining to my grandfather
please let me know, or any suggestions. I did do the DNA testing in
Ancestry.com that possibly gave me a couple of leads but have not heard
back from them yet.

She could have been born anytime between 1947 and 1956, in New York City.
If she was given my father's name, her birth surname would have been

My Aunt Vi was adopted by another aunt in 1907. Hattie Mae

17, 1904 in Lowell, Massachusetts and adopted in 1907. So I am told my
Aunt Hattie is the only name on the adoption paper. I had two aunts that
were killed in 1906 in Providence, Rhode Island and I am trying to find
out if maybe my Aunt Vi was the daughter of one. The names of the two
women killed were: Clara E. Riggs and Isabel M. Pearson. I have been
told that the family used her last name as her middle. After adoption her
name was: Viola Lowell Langmaid. Any help greatly appreciated, working
on the family tree, or ideas on the best way to locate this information.
Thank you

1945 -'46. Does anyone have any information about my mom, her sister

She spent many years in different foster homes in Georgia. If anyone

I was born in Coldwater, MI, as my amended birth certificate
states. Oct 21, 1958. I was not adopted until July 1960. I am not sure if
I was immediately given up at birth or was placed in the orphanage due to
extenuating circumstances. I may have siblings older than myself that may
have been placed here as well. Its also possible that I was transferred
to Michigan from Indiana so an adoption could be arranged.
It is also possible that my birth mother could have lived in northern
Indiana, as Coldwater is only a few miles north of the border.
I have red hair, standing over 6' tall with a burly build. I am also
musically inclined; guitar and harmonica.

My grandmother was an orphan who lived in a Catholic school for
Black & Indian children, founded by the Sisters of the Blessed
Sacrament in Rockcastle, Powhatan Cty, VA; the school, now closed was
called St. Francis de Sales. She enrolled there in 1901. I am trying to
find anyone who knew of a Garland family that lived in that area around
1900 and had a crisis that led to them putting my grandmother in this
home as an orphan. I've searched but cannot find any birth records.
Unfortunately, the school ledger that indicated her enrollment date has
no info on her date or place of birth or her parents, although I believe
she was born around 1887.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ellen Marcella
Moore
Rolla, Phelps, Missouri
1869-1888
I am looking for any information about Ellen Marcella Moore who
was born around 1861-1869. Our family suspects that she was an orphan
since there is not any family information about her. We know she was the
second wife of James Elbert O'Banion and that she and James had four
children born between 1889 and 1898. She passed away on April 9th 1947
in Ottawa, Oklahoma Any information you can supply would be very
appreciated!

You are my cousin. Your mother was Corinne Malone, born in
Brooklyn in 1929 and she had you out of wedlock, I believe under my
father's name John J Shea,to save embarrassment. My mother is
Patricia Malone Shea, her only sister. Your mother, Corinne, was a second
mother to me and my siblings all my life. We learned about you only about
10 years ago, and looked then. We would love to find you. I have so much
information for you.
I do not know if you were immediately adopted or not.

Grove was her maiden name. She was born in Pennsylvanian march 22, 1922.
Her parents were John Ross Grove and Mary Nolan. Her mom Mary Nolan died
when my mom was only 7 years old. Mom had many siblings and John Ross
Grove could not care for them all, so he gave them all up. My mother
ended up in Virginia with a lady named Emma Pierce. i have tried for
years to get my mom's birth certificate, but have no luck anywhere. I
am hoping somebody can help me. Thank you

Mar 2012 meghankisner Feb 12 4:40 PM Hi, The info I have on elizabeth Im
not 100% positive on. I know she was born in 1910 and when I was
searching through records I found an elizabeth ryan who died at the age
of 24 in 1934 in the asylum..her death certificate didn't have any
info on it really. In fact who ever made the certificate made a note on
it that they don't know much about her other than her parents died
when she was young and she went to live with a Jim McDonald. This is the
Link to the certificate
https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ItemView.aspx?ImageFile=147-
1358&Event=death&ID=239660. I've seen your family tree
popping up on my hints quite a bit..Im the great grand daughter to Mary
Katherine Ryan. Do you happen to know when Amelia and Edward Ryan died? I
know it was sometime between 1915-1920, because when their son edward
married in 1920 they were already deceased. The most confusing thing
I'm finding about the Ryan's are that they often went by their
middle names. Also there was no Edward F. ryan...that was just a
transcription error, it is in fact Edward James Ryan. Good Luck with your
search! Meghan Kisner great granddaughter of Mary K. Ryan

Mary Ellen Bailey
Ohio
Hello,
I am looking for any information regarding my grandmother's birth
family. When she was 6 weeks old she was dropped off at Eleanor
Soldan's house in a beautiful dress. Her birth mother was about 30-35
at the time she was born July 1929 (maybe) the man she was with was short
maybe Irish I believe this was her father. They asked to keep her name
Mary Ellen. I think Birth mother sent letters and $ for a year. Eleanor
(Foster parent)ended up adopting her when she was 12 years of age in 1941
Ohio. I think her birth mothers name may have been Annabelle Bailey. I
have not been able to find anything at all on her birth parents or birth
records. I would love to know if she had any siblings or anything at all.
TIA

him on the 1900 federal census and am searching for any and all
information to fill in the gaps. Thank you for your time. :)
I have a question that I cant seem to find an answer to even when
I call the court house. I have an adoption certificate from delaware. It
states that I was adopted by my father and my records are sealed which is
fine with me. I live my dad and dont want to know about anyone else but I
do want to know the truth about the adoption itself. My mother always
said that because they weren't married when I was born my dad had to
adopt me when they got married for me to have his last name. I was born
in 1967. This sounds ludicrous to me and the court house doesn't
recollect any law that made fathers legally adopt their own kids. If it
were true why would they need to seal the adoption? Can anyone help me
with this?
Kennedy, Joseph

Foundling House New York
1880-?
I am trying to track down my grandfathers (Joseph Lawrence
Kennedy) siblings or parents. He was residing at the Foundling House in
New York in 1880. He was only 5 months old. Looking at the others who
resided there in 1880 I have found 2 other Kennedy's. A girl
Georgeanne (1yr) and an employee who was 21. Does anyone know how to
find out records from this place. We were told everything was lost in a
fire.
Any help would be appreciated.

My father, Clyde Price, was left at this "orphanage" when he
was around 7-9 years old, along with his younger siblings, William and
LaVerne. They stayed there until they reached the age of majority. I
cannot find out anything about his family. I find very little here and
there but nothing substantial. If anyone has any information about this
place I'd be most appreciative. I can't even find a place to
contact! They are still open but are no longer an orphanage. There was
reportedly a lot of abuse back then and that could be why information
seems to have disappeared. Dad would never speak about it. He died 37
years ago and I've been searching for many hears. I know it was a
farm back then and the girls stayed across the street at Madonna Manor. I
would like to know why those children were left there, as I have some
information that both parents were alive while they were there. I did not
find this out until recently so of course, they have long been deceased.
It's been a dead end.
Sincerely,

My father's (Thomas Wayne Byrne born 1929) maternal
grandmother, Kate E. Halligan, we're told, was in an orphanage in the
Sacramento area with her sister Agnes Halligan. Not sure of dates but it
would have been maybe late 1870's, early 1880's. We know that
Kate E. Halligan married Wayne R Harshbarger. We don't know anything
about the Halligan's or why the sisters were orphaned. We would like
to find out where the Halligans came from and why they were
orphaned.

I've searched for their names on list but with no success..this is

Stephens. Forrest married Grace Mann in 1920 in Muncie IN. Prior to their
marriage, both Forrest and Emerson lived with Samual and Mary Mann.
I've been able to follow Grace (my grandmother) but am at a dead end
with grandfather. No names have been found for his parents. If anyone can
help it will be much apreciated.
