Searching For: Biological Parents, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: During my family tree search I found an 1880 Census Record stating that at 12 years of age Elihu H. Duncan was an adopted son to John T. Duncan. I have not been able to find any other records to date. I found an 1870 Census Record of an Elihu Miller son of Adam Miller within 40 miles of John T. Duncan. However, I cannot confirm this information from the census records alone. Any information would be greatly appreciated and helpful in my search for Elihu Duncan's biological parents.

All Other Information: When he was alive he desperately wanted to find his birth family. His birth mother died during the flu epidemic around 1916-1917. They were from Lithuania and lived on the south side of Chicago. He was old enough to know he had birth siblings that were older. Because he was not old enough to attend school, his birth father was unable to take care of him and work. He took my father to a Catholic orphanage. We do have his baptismal certificate from St. George Church in Chicago. Somewhere it was found that his family changed the family name to Judkins.

My aunt (her daughter) inquired with St. Vincent's some years ago and was given a birth mother name of "Margaret Mohling" but 20 years of research has not found any viable data on this person. Mamie Carrier died in ?-?-1923. Fred remarried and adopted another daughter in the ?-?-1920s. He also had several biological children with his second wife (Anna).  Genetic genealogy testing leads me to believe Catherine was of Irish, English, French, and possibly German descent.

All Other Information: Trying to find out my maternal grandmothers birth parents.

She was baptized there on 10-3-1917 and was adopted in 12-?-1919 ?. Her name was changed from Irene Donally to Irene Stamborsky. The adoption papers that I have state that notice of the adoption proceedings were advertised in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. John H. Williams - acting Judge of Cook County, Robert M. Sweitzer – Clerk, Charles Wurster - Irene's Guardian Ad Litem Sister Raphael of St. Vincent's - Consented to adoption, W. F. Propper - attorney for Michael and Theresa Stamborsky - the adoptive parents
Pleas before the judge began on 12-8-1919, Matter entered into record on 12-15-1919. (Update) Irene passed away 2-28-1987.  The photos that I have of her show that she had dark hair, it looks brown to me. I was 6 when she passed away and I remember her with grey hair at that point. I do not know her eye color for sure but I think they may have been green.

All Other Information: I am searching for information on my Grandmother's biological family. I am in the process of researching my family's history and we know nothing about my grandmother's biological history. We have no desire to seek these people out, just fill in the gaps. The stories that ran through the family were that my grandmother was 1 of 5 children and possibly illegitimate. Also, rumor has it, that my grandmother's birth mother visited my grandmother 3 times when she was a little girl and the woman was very affluent. I have joined several genealogical websites and newspaper websites in search of whatever I could find. I was also thinking of writing to the Archdiocese of Chicago requesting their help. My mother or my uncle (her children) are going to do a DNA test to see where our history lies other than the obvious history we already know about. I appreciate any help you may be able to give me. I can respond to email at any time, and can answer telephone calls after 5 p.m. Thank you.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History, or information about the adoption of my deceased grandfather, Arthur Fillmore Kealey.
All Other Information: I have a 1920 census record from Homewood, Cook County, IL that lists Arthur Kealey as the 4 month old son of Frank Samuel Kealey (age 38) and Phebie L. Kealey (age 24). According to the census record, Arthur's birth mother was born in Illinois, and his birth father was born in England. Frank and Phebie also had a 20 year old male boarder named Joseph Whitehead who was born in Illinois, and whose parents were both born in England. There is no evidence that Whitehead was involved in the adoption, but that's the only additional name I have around the time of the adoption. I have a 1930 census record from San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. Arthur is listed as the 10 year old adopted son of Frank Samuel Kealey (age 48) and Gladys L. Kealey (age 34). Gladys's full maiden name was Gladys Lenore Waterman. The 1930 census says that Arthur's birth father was born in England and his birth mother was born in Michigan. I don't know if it's an error, or a correction, etc. According to family lore, my Papa Art was the offspring of a young lady of German ancestry who had "gotten in trouble." My family is not very open and communicative, so I am not confident that this rumor is grounded in truth. I have Arthur Fillmore Kealey's social security number but I can't figure out how to request a birth certificate without knowing the names of his birth parents.

His also alleged to have owned several bars in the Craigin neighborhood of Chicago. His nick name is Sharkey. He owned a house in Schiller Park, IL in 1950.

All Other Information: The adoption seems to have gone through two stages. The first was noted in a copy and seemed to have been modified and to my inexperienced eye, didn't look legal. The second was during my own search in about ?-?-1993 when the State "fixed" the document, but would not provide any information. My adoptive father claimed to be my birth father (out of wedlock) and the adoption was merely to make it legal. After his death, I discovered he was not my birth father. adoption was The story given me was that, since there was no available birth father, the original birth certificate listed the birth father's name as Key or Kay Ross (who was my mother's father).

All Other Information: My Ancestry.com ethnicity estimate does not match what I've been told of my adoptive parents' ethnicity. My only living adoptive sister is 89 years old and I do feel that at this time I can ask her to take DNA test. I feel I am probably related to my adoptive parents.

All Other Information: My Mother told me, she was in and out of foster homes. She told me that her mother / My grandmother died when she was around 3 or four?. She also said that there was storys told to her like she or her mother. I forget which one was kidnapped as a baby from the blackfoot tribe. or maybe it was her mother. not for sure. I know my mother was blackfoot indian. If you seen her pictures. you would know. I was also told that the blackfoot tribe papers were burned years ago... A Man by the name of Meridith Deeter adopted her. but she wound up calling Carroll Deeter her father, she was told that her mother died of cancer when she was 3 or 4 years old. I do know that she talked about being taken from thier homes as a child or baby.. and/or some of the female blackfoot women were take when they were in thier teens even. so my mother often wondered if my grandmother was pregnat at the time, when all this accured. but do not know how true this is. She asked me to never stop looking. I promised her I never would. So if anyone knows of these types of storys from the Indian nation. Please let me know.. There were alot of storys told to her when she was a little girl. I just did not put them on here. because I want to see if anyone that happens to answer this. that they should know some of the storys..That way I will know it is true. thank you all. (Update) My mother was very dark complected.. black hair.. cheeks bones so high. green eyes.. 5' 5" and she was a purebred blackfoot.

All Other Information: I was adopted from the "Cradle" in Evanston, IL in Sept. ?-?-1934.  I had a birth mark on my face. At the Cradle my name was "Zoe".  Also I'm sure my birth parents have passed away but there must be siblings or other relatives.  According to the Cradle my birth mother worked for the telephone company and my birth father, who was married, worked for a public service company (I'm guessing the telephone company).

Later married (common law) William Arthur Dunnill. Their son William Dunnill (age 78) is searching for older half-birth sister and family. Lois attended Park Ridge School for girls. (high school). She was raised in St. Mary's Home for Children and was raised by nuns. Jen Rose Gehir was her guardian until she was 18 years old.

Birth mother was 5'2" tall, stocky build. No idea about birth father’s age. William Dunnill is 5'9" tall, with blue eyes, dark hair (balding). Searching for half birth sister.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Birth Siblings, Medical History.

All Other Information: Adopted from delivering retired physican Dr. Fagan. Dr. Fagan and his wife were elderly and couldn't care for the child. A rabbi wrote to Morton and Esther explaining it would be a Mitva if they took the child. Irene was listed as married and 17 years old at the time of delivery, listed as married, however adoption papers stated father deceased in automobile accident.  Also, stated John Slowin's profession was automobile mechanic. Had the original birth certificate examined by a handwriting specialist who stated whoever filled it out was of French Canadian descent. The names Slowin and Durmay may be spelled phoenetically (Update) Doctor Phillip Feigan / Feigen, retired, delivered baby. His brother? Arthur Feigan / Feigen handled the adoption. On the original birth certificate it states Irene's employment as "housekeeper at Sister's Home" there was a place in Chicago run by the Franciscan Sisters called Sister's Home, on the third floor of the building. Wonder if Irene could have been in the Angel Guardian Orphanage. There was in 1920, an Irene "Dreery" and her brother Frank.  In looking at the last name it could have been Durmay. States Irene was married at time of delivery however, John Slowin employed as Auto mechanic had died in a car accident ?.  No record of any marriage between Irene and John.  Possibly she was Catholic and he was Jewish, never married as a Rabbi contacted Morton and Esther about my mother and said it would be a "Mitzva" if they took the baby.

Searching For: I am searching for a possible twin.

All Other Information: My IL obc indicates I was a multiple birth, either a twin (more likely) or triplet. Genealogy experts have looked at the markings on my obc and agree from the information (as filled in) that I may be a twin. I have my birth mother's medical records from my birth at Edgewater Hospital. I met my birth mother (now deceased), though don't think I had my obc at that time. There was no discussion with any birth family members of my being a twin. Most are now deceased. I know for a fact that some of the information on my obc is incorrect (my actual birth surname was Roth; it is unlikely my birth parents were married, though my obc says they were; I don't believe they were living at the address listed on my obc.

I did not know I had a twin but found her in 2006. I have been searching for 50 years, way before computers. I knew of 4 children - now we total 15, I have concrete proof of each birth to birth mother. She died in 1979 in Billing's, Mt. She lived with me the last 5 months of her life. I had no idea of other children, I knew nothing of her life. I have found 11 birth sibling's and believe that there are 3 to 6 more. I never knew where she was born until she died. She came from a very small town in IL. called Rosebud. She left Rosebud with her mother at a young age. I know nothing about her whereabouts from 1928 in Danville, IL. to my birth in Seattle WA. 1944. So far half of her children were born in WA. The remaining birth sibling's from 1950 on were born in CA. AR. and ? In 1950 she left WA. and went to So. Cal. I'm also looking in 1952, 1957 through 1962, 1967, 1971. Many of her children were born 11 months apart. She was married 8 times that I have proof of, but she used many last names. My siblings are professional people some were adopted, some given away, some Sold. I'm 73 years old and want to put All my birth sibling's together before I pass !!! I pray someone out there will help.
(Update) I have no info on who birth father is. Birth mother was 5'2" tall, with ice blue eyes. She alway's lied about her age ?. I am 5'2" tall, with blue eyes.

Searching For: Birth Parents of Mr Hauff, Medical History.

All Other Information: Im searching for the birth parents of Mr Hauff. He is 79 years old and wants to know the truth. The people he called mama and papa he believes them to be his grandparents instead. William and Amelia Haff could not have been his birth parents. They were 66 and 63 when born. They did have one daughter, Magdalena Hauff b 5-18-1902 In Ohio. He believe that she is really his birth mother. She was a mystery of her own. Sometime after 1930 she claimed to be an Indian born in Canada but records found prove that she was a full blooded German. She called herself Princess Whitecloud and also was known as Naomi Whitecloud or Whitehead. She played / taught piano. She toured with the Steve Miller band and eventually made her way to Biloxi, MS where she lived until she passed away. Im hoping before it is too late to be able to give Mr Hauff some closer as to who he is. He did get a copy of his birth cert. but much was whited out.

Searching For: Name and Information on Birth Mother and/or Birth Father, Medical History.

All Other Information: Adoption may have been privately done. There was a brother, his name was "Johnny", my father in-law met him when they were children. He came out to our farm and visited. He was never heard from again. My husband would like to know who his paternal grandparents were and also for geneological reasons. (Update) My husband and I found a letter from a Mrs. Hulbert of the Northern branch of the Illinois Home and Aid Society of 208 West Washington St. in Chicago. Detailed information of Father's birth, weight, vitals, etc. over a period of a year (letter dated 8-18-1941) addressed to a Dr. Mary Rosential of Freeport, IL The letter was headed RE: Prasse baby boy, 6-2-1940. We originally thought our dad was born in Stephenson County, but after finding this letter think he was born in NW Chicago.

Searching For: Medical History.

All Other Information: My father (now deceased) was born to Stella & James Cox at Misericordia Hospital in Chicago, IL and transferred to St. Vincent's Infant Asylum for adoption placement. He was born 11-18-1940; adopted by Robert Edward Thibert and Grace Delia (Perusse) Thibert on 11-30-1940.  Later, Robert Edward Thibert made arrangements to adopt a baby girl who was a biological sibling to my father, but that adoption was cancelled at Grace Delia Thibert's discretion. Robert James Thibert (the adoptee) developed insulin-dependent diabetes as a young adult, and was legally blind in both eyes (due to diabetic complications rupturing blood vessels) at the time of his death from pancreatic cancer. He suffered from mental illness for most of his life, and engaged in excessive binge alcohol drinking starting in his early teens. He was admitted to a psychiatric institution as a teenager, which forced him to finish high school 1 full year after his peers. As the daughter of the adoptee, I have a vested interest in obtaining medical history information from my father's birth family. I would like to know if diabetes ran in the family, but I also would like to know if there were known gastrointestinal disorders in the family. My daughter (who is now 4 years old) suffers from Celiac Disease (confirmed via endoscopic biopsy) and has tested positive for several genetic markers associated with Celiac Disease.

All Other Information: I am searching for my birth father's information. Searching for his birth date, place, first, middle and last name, his whereabouts, whether he is alive or passed and personal family information including relatives or children's names. When I was a child we lived at 4455 Clifton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois until 1950. I believe my birth father lived at 4455 Clifton Avenue in the 1940's and perhaps with my mother ?. I was born at Cook County Hospital which I think has been renamed. All the 1940's birth record files were moved to Springfield, Illinois at some point. I tried to call there but they wouldn't release any birth records saying it was a closed adoption. With my mother passed and step-father passed and medical info important at this time of my life it would be nice to have a birth fathers name, decent and perhaps any health issue info - . . .my gmail account doesn't appear to be working - I do have one - 2013pnv@gmail.com
(Update) My birth fathers name is Raymond Olson. I was named Donna Rae Olson at birth. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and was 23 years old when I was born.

All Other Information: As for my birth name it came in with my adoption decree papers from the lawyer who took care of my adopted mother's estate,  Finally passed those  papers/copy on to me a couple of years ago. I also have a copy of a letter that my birth mother had wrote to my adoptive mother, in which it states  where she lived at at the time that said letter was wrote. Adoption was finalized in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois on October 14, 1941. This was a private adoption. I have posted most of the above to some of the message boards without much success. I've been looking for quite some time know and I'm still coming up emptied handed.

Searching For: Birth Family, Medical History.

All Other Information: Looking for any birth family member. I have ordered original birth certificate thanks to change in IL law.  The Cradle told me my mother used an alias and they have 2 names in their files. I will request other name when I receive original. I was told birth mother was told my birth mother was German Descent, a Catholic, 5'1/2", black hair, blue eyes, 106 lbs. Had at least 2 yrs. HS and did clerical work. Her mother was a practical nurse. Her father was a machinist who died of cancer in ?-?-1940. She had 2 brothers who died of flu at very young age and 1 sister who died of TB @ age 14. I also learned from court clerk that her address at time of birth was 1530 E. 73 rd. St., Chicago. I researched that address and found it was owned by 2 Randall sisters at the time, both of whom have since died. Birth mother was 26 at the time.  She was born in Des Moines, IA, and was supposedly married but separated. The Cradle could not verify marriage. They told me birth father Charles R Johnson was 27 of English descent. His birth place is listed as Chicago, IL Finished HS and entered service and was based at Camp Forrest, TN. I have copy of adoption decree which lists his name as Charles Robert Johnson. He apparently entered service in 6-?-1941.  He was 5'7", 145 lbs., w/ dark hair, blue eyes. He was employed as taxi driver, messenger and doing odd jobs. He had no siblings and parents were deceased. He was a HS graduate from what they were told. Adoption Decree #103515 issued on 6-29-1943.  Adoptive parents brought me home 3-31-1942. My adoptive parents died of cancer when I was young - my father in ?-?-1950 and mother in ?-?-1957. I was raised by my mother's sister. She was unable to give me any additional information. My adopted mother always told me and the family that I was French and Irish. My adopted family was English and Irish background, so don't know where the French came from unless that's what they were told. I live in FL  Jan. - April @ 138 Travel Park Dr., #129, Spring Hill, FL 34607.

All Other Information: I have the original birth certificate signed by the attending ? physician on 2-23-1942.  I have searched for a long time without success and believe that "Marie" Evans is a middle name. Evans possibly and probably is the correct surname. Oshkosh, Wisconsin may not be her birthplace as I've never been able to find any documentation of a Marie Evans born in Oshkosh, MN. Recently, I received my autosomal DNA (4 to 5 maternal and paternal generations. I am 94% northern Italian. That is my maternal grandmother, birth mother and birth father. The remaining 6% is my maternal grandfather. He was a "Romani". We know them as Gypsies, or in his case Travellers. It is believed by family tree professionals that he was possibly a Welsh Romani, accounting for the surname Evans. I have 2nd to 5th cousins on family tree. One has an extensive genealogy listing. Recently I looked in depth at his list of over 1,000 names and found 16 people who lived in or were born in Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota with 3 names born in Oshkosh, MN. which is a town in the above county. I am focusing my search in Minnesota looking for females born around 1919 with the last name Evans and a middle initial M. I am also going to learn as much about Romani in the US as of 1900.  There is a Romani census registry. I am encouraged again due to learning my ethnic background. I will also look at maternal grandmothers attempting to learn their country of origin. My focus will be Italy. In other words a baby girl Evans born around around 1919 with a mother whose origin can be traced to Italy. I will also contact the town of Oshkosh, MN for any information on Romani settlements in the early 20th century. I did send to MN, vital records for a Marie Evans birth certificate. They did not have a record relating to the above. I was grey market. Jefferson Park Hospital was known as a hospital for unwed mothers and private adoptions. I have never located any records from the hospital relating to my birth.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother 

All Other Information: Born in the mid 1940's. Have extremely scarce information. Was told about my mother having a child as a teen  by my father.  When mentioned to an uncle it was confirmed but told it was closed subject.  Mother was raised in Quincy, Illinois so it is assumed that the baby was born there. However she did have relatives in Peoria, Illinois so that may be a possibility also. Would appreciate any help.

Searching For: Adoptee
All Other Information: My Great Aunt Minerva, as she was known, was 7 or 8 months pregnant when her mother died on 1-12-1943. Minerva was of Norwegian descent. She went to Chicago, IL and stayed with a cousin, a nurse, at the hospital. The birth father was presumably a married man and Minerva was a widow; Minerva died on 1-9-1998. (Update) Birth mother was about 5'6" tall, 37 years old. She had blue eyes and medium brown hair, medium build, tending toward a little plump, but not obese. She lived to be 92 years old. She was born and lived in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State adoption agency has confirmed that she did not give birth to a child in Wisconsin. Minerva went to California in the late fall of 1942 planning to have the baby in San Diego County where three of her sisters lived. She either planned to give the baby out there or she planned to give the baby to one of her sisters to raise. Unfortunately the ruse failed because her mother died in Wisconsin in 1-?-1943. Her sisters in Wisconsin were well aware when she returned for the funeral that she was pregnant, 7-8 months along. Rather than return to California she disappeared until the baby was born. I believe she went to Chicago and worked with a Lutheran Adoption Service there. Minerva was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church and it very likely she would have set up an adoption using its services. She also had relatives in Minneapolis with whom she could have stayed, but Chicago is more likely. The birth father is completely unknown. It is believed he was a married man, and likely in the military service, possibly from Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin or more likely, Madison, Wisconsin. It is likely that he never knew that he had fathered a child. Minerva remarried in 1948, but she had no other children. The executor of her estate knew about the child and searched Minerva's home assiduously for any documentation of the birth and none was found. I was very close to Minverva for many years and we shared many family secrets because I was the family historian, she never revealed the existence of this child to me. After her death her sister let me know about the child in the hope that someday contact could be made.

I suffer from intermittent depression as do my four daughters. Heredity ? We also have difficulty with our joints.

She was a Polish Jew according to my adoptive parents, and my birth father was Greek. Chicago Orphan Asylum did not handle my adoption. I do not know who did.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Ernestine Platt, Medical History.

All Other Information: My mother is the adoptee, Lynn Marie Finkel. She doesn't have access to a computer and I am inquiring on her behalf. I also would like to know my grandparents. Lynn feels that the Platt family was Jewish. Lynn thinks her father died in WWII because there is no mention of him. I tried searching the 1930's census and could not find an Ernestine Platt. I am not sure if that is her maiden or married name. My mother's adoptive parents would never give her information on her birth parents and my mother always felt as though her adoptive mother somehow knew her birth mother. (black market baby perhaps)?. I have the court paperwork from the County Court of Cook County granting the adoption of Baby Girl Platt to Maurice and Sylvia Finkel about 10 days after my mother's birth. It states that the birth mother, Platt is the surviving parent of said child and has abandoned and surrendered the said child. I believe the name Ernestine came up in family conversation. My birth grandmother is the only survivor.
(Update) I have no record of the age or physical descriptions of the birth parents. The legal papers state that birth mother Platt is the only surviving parent of said child. The birth father was deceased at the time of adoption. I am guessing maybe he was killed in WWII.  Lynn Marie Finkel has blonde hair and blue eyes. Technically her eyes are green but I'm not sure if they were listed as that color on birth records.

Searching For: Birth Relatives, Birth Parents, Medical History

All Other Information: Searching for parents / relatives of an adopted girl born 10/20/1944 at St. Anthony's Hospital in Rockford, IL. Name at birth was Judith Ann Rupp. I don't know if the mother's maiden name was Rupp. I don't believe they were married at the time. I believe she had several siblings and know of one half-sister who was about 18 months older. I also believe the father was in the military. It was a private adoption from birth. The mother rented an apartment from a relative and set the adoption up through her. Any info would be greatly appreciated, as all members of the adopted family who would know are now deceased. Thanks.

Searching For: Birth Father, Any Birth Siblings of my birth father, Medical History.All Other Information: Searching for A child born to this birth mother prior to my dad's birth. On the birth certificate we have it says number of children born to this birth mother - 2 including my dad and that they were living. Also any children born after my dad. Any medical history. Birth mother listed The Sarah Hackett Stevenson Lodging House as her residence and mailing address on the birth certificate. No birth father was listed on the birth certificate. Supposedly, birth mother was sent to have her child here. My dad wasn't adopted until he was over a year old. Why ?. (Update) Birth certificate says birth mother was 17 years old and that the birth was not legitimate. I don't think she was married. My dad was at a foster home/orphanage kind of place with a bunch of other kids. My grandparents adopted him through a church or state related adoption agency or representative. They never told my dad he was adopted until he was 52.

All Other Information: (Update) Birth father, Leonard Harold Marks Birthplace- Artdale Wisconin Age--28 his hair was brown and eyes blue. Birth mothers maiden name, Ruth Pearl Wines Birthplace-- Friendship Wisconsin Age--27 her hair was brown and eyes blue. I can recall, around the age of four, we were made wards of the court. My older brother Paul, myself sister Linda and baby brother Leonard were put in foster care, this took place in 1944. Around 1952 my father remarried and returned to Durand, IL and took Paul, Linda and myself back to California. I beleave my foster familiy name was Kaiser, Larry & Betty.  There were other foster kids there on the farm. The last time I saw Tubby, Leonard was when he showed up at the farm. I think Tubby was around two years old. At the time of my birth  11-3-1940 mom & dad lived at 520 Mulberry St in Rockford, IL. It would be wounder to find my little brother, I don't have any idea if he knows he has a brother & sisters.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half-Brother

All Other Information: Just found out that my mother gave up a child in 1945 or 1946. She was separated from her husband...birth father was married to someone else. Mom said adoptive parents were good people...even sent her a picture now and then. Mom is 81 and beginning to slip away from us. If the son my mother gave up is looking for her, now's the time to step forward. She doesn't want to disturb him and his family if he's not looking for her.

Searching For: Adoptee, Half-Birth Brother

All Other Information: Leonard John Grode was born at 8:15 p.m. on 10-07-1945 in Cook County, Chicago, Illinois at St. Vincent's Infant and Maternity Home/Hospital. Physician signing the birth certificate was Dr. Schmitz. Leonard's twin brother, Arthur, died shortly after the birth. Initially, Catholic Charities in Chicago was handling the adoption arrangements but, for reasons unknown, birth mom brought Leonard by train to Madison, WI and left him with Catholic Charities in Madison, who presumably handled his adoption from that point. We believe this to be true, as no amended birth certificate or record of adoption or death certificate for Leonard was found in Illinois, only a death certificate for Arthur. We do not know how much, if any, birth information was given to Catholic Charities in Madison when Leonard was brought there, so it's possible that adoptee may not know his actual birth date or birthplace. Birth certificate states that birth mother was doing factory work at a defense plant. Nothing is known about the birth father except that he was purportedly from Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

All Other Information: I would like to find my birth grandparents. My birth grandmother was an unwed girl and I believe my birth grandfather was a military man serving in WWII in 1945 when they knew each other. Searching for my birth grandmother who lived in Burlington, Indiana and left there to stay with her sister in Chicago, Illinois to have her baby boy. After the baby's birth she took the boy to Lafayette, Indiana with her and it was there the baby was adopted.
The adoptive parents, those I knew as my father's parents, were Marvin and Maxine Henderson and they lived in Delphi, Indiana and raised the baby boy there. The adoptive grandparents and my father are all deceased and I am anxious to know if I might have any living biological relatives, and I feel I could be running out of time to be able to connect with those relatives.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Any Birth Siblings, Medical History.
All Other Information: I was not formally adopted.  I was given to a couple that wanted me. I was a premature baby (born at 7 mos).  I do not know if I was born in a hospital or at home, but odds are it was a hospital.  The "story" is that my parents had other children and could not afford another one.  I was told that my parents were Norwegian and that they were working or were traveling with a carnival at the time of my birth. I should have a birth certificate somewhere, but I do not know what name to look under.  I am reasonably sure of my birth date from dated pictures.  My "adopted mother, Simone" had a sister who had a baby 4 days after I was born and we are both in the pictures as babies.  My baptismal certificate (done when I was 5 years old to get me in school) states that I was born in Chicago, Illinois.  Of course, it shows them as my parents. Everyone in my "adopted father's" family believes me to be his.  Everyone in my "adopted" mother's family knows that I am not hers.  He told me he was not my father due to the fact that he had mumps that had "dropped". I have since researched this fact, and most of the time, the man can still have children. Simone was barren.  Both are deceased.  I had my mitrachondrial DNA done and it is indeed traced back to Norway, so there is some truth here.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother
All Other Information: "David" is my half-birth brother. He was born to my mother and the birth father (who were not married) before my parents even met. I know the birth father was probably from Central America, South America or the Caribbean and that he was an instructor at Moody Bible Institute. I believe my mother met him when she was taking one of his classes. I believe he was married with a family. He was fired from this position when Moody became aware of my mother's pregnancy. I believe David was born 10-1-1947 or 10-1-1948 or 10-1-1949 ?. He was adopted through the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society of Chicago, I believe to an African American family, though I am not positive about that. (Update) Birth mother was either 19, 20 or 21 years old  at time of birth ? - not positive. Birth mother was 5'5" tall, about 130 lbs. with blue eyes and brown hair.Birth father was a college professor so probably in his late 20s or 30s ?. I am 5'6" tall, with green eyes and brown hair. gray now.

All Other Information: Searching for biological father's relatives, and/or biological siblings. Father had blond hair in early pictures and adoptive sister was not a biological sibling. Father had a weight problem his entire life, father had dark hair and his children have a strong resemblance to him. Possible that adoption happened at 1 year of age. St. Vincent de Paul had a fire that I was told destroyed all adoption records. Adoptive mother destroyed only copy of fathers link to adoption information in his teens.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half-Sister

All Other Information: My mother had a child in 1948 or 1949 before she married my father.  Both parents are now deceased.  I would like to find my half-sibling.  My mother always talked of a girl born in the Chicago Home for Wayward Girls.  She was taken there by her family pastor.  She stayed there until the birth of the baby and then had no where to go so she moved to Iowa to live with her brother and met my father in Ames, IA on Sept. 1, 1949.  The next child was born in February of 1952.  I have my mother's death certificate.  I am the only sibling doing the search.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling 
All Other Information: Family stories and a copy of the hospital birth certificate indicate I must have had a twin brother.  My father wanted a girl, bu the attending doctor told my father I was a boy.  The nurse, however, told my mother they had a girl.  The hospital birth certificate was filled in originally with all information except the name, including "male".  The word "male" was erased and rewritten "female" at the same time the name was added. Twins run in my family.  This was the first time there had been no twins.  However, I believe I was a twin and that the doctor intended to black-market me, but with the nurses' slip-up, he had to take the boy instead. The attending physician was Carl Greenstein.  The Superintendent's signature appears to be Sr St.Louis, R.N. which I believe was Sister St Louis.  If any male was a black-market baby from Champaign County, Illinois around 1948 I'd like him to contact me.  (Update) The birth family eyes are typically hazel or very blue with a dark ring around the other part of the colored area.  Men are 6'3" to 6'4" tall, very thin with large hands and long legs on the father's side. Men are 5'9" tall, a little stocky with a more rounded face and tend to have edima in their legs as they get older on the mother's side. The father, 6'4" tall, passed away at age 63 years old of a second heart attack. The mother, 5'8" tall, passed away at age 77 years old and had "Dementia". As for hair color, by now the hair should be grey with perhaps some medium brown.  Growing up it would begin blonde and turn "dishwater blonde" or light ash brown after puberty.

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: My grandmother, Rosemond Elgentine "Mary" Sellers, was impregnated by an unknown male, in 1947 at age 15 in Beloit, Mitchell County, Kansas. She was sent to Oak Park, Cook, Illinois to have a baby under the guise of being a nanny for a doctor. She returned to Beloit, Mitchell, Kansas in 1948 without the baby. We think the baby was born on 4-?-1948 ?. My grandmother died when my mom was 4 so we have very little information about her or the event. My grandmother had a picture in her possessions of a baby in a christening dress named "Billy". My grandmother's husband, who is not the birth father of the baby, thinks she stayed with a Doctor Baker / Bakker and that the baby could be William "Billy" Baker / Bakker, if adopted by the doctor. This is all we really have. We have pictures of my grandmother while in Illinois standing in front of a house. I'd like to send you those pictures if it would help. I have tried to find the house in the pictures in Oak Park, Illinois without success. My mom has submitted a medical information form to the state of Illinois and has her information on file for when the "baby" inquiries about his birth mother with them. They did not have any information to release to her based on the information she provided on the form. My grandmother's birthday was 7-4-1932. She was born in Bloom, Osborne, Kansas. This person is my uncle. My DNA and my mom's DNA is located in Ancestry and GEDMatch. 
(Update) Birth mother was around 5'7" tall, with blue eyes and brown hair.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling

All Other Information: I just recently learned about this sibling. He was born the year before my parents were married. I was told he was born at a home for unwed mothers probably in Chicago. I have my parents social security numbers if that would be helpful. Here are their birthdates: Elizabeth Barr 5-13-1915 and John Rutchik born 7-25-1918. They are both deceased. I have some family medical history that my "birth sibling" should know about. One of my brothers, not knowing, died from this syndrome. If he had known, his life could have been spared. I would like to let my "birth syndrome" know about this so he can protect himself and his family. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I need help finding him. If you can't devote much time, please give me some direction. Thanks again.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History.

All Other Information: I have registered on the Illinois Adoption Registry.  I worked with Midwest Adoption for two years.  They were able to find a relative who failed to answer the first outreach and refused the second.  The case was subsequently closed.  I then petitioned the court through Judge Patrick McGann to have my files released to me.  He denied my request.  I have been working with Worldwide Tracers, Inc. for about a year.  Thus far I have had no results. Non-identifying info I was given - My birth mother was 18 years old when I was born.  Her occupation was listed as clerk in a store.  My maternal grandparents were from Norway / Sweden.  There were two different names used by my birth mother - one on the birth certificate and another on the adoption forms.  It was a private adoption. My adopted parents and anyone who would have knowledge of the adoption is now deceased.  I have also gone through the processing of having my DNA mapped.  It may be unrelated, but when I was a Flight Attendant for United in Chicago, there was another Flight Attendant that I was told looked exactly like me. So much so, that other employees of United, Pilots, Flight Attendants, etc. would walk up to me and begin to carry on a conversation as if they knew me.  I never met or saw her.  This was before I knew I was adopted.  Now I wish I had persued it.

All Other Information: I have no idea who my birth parents are. It would be nice to know, and to have some sort of medical background. I would like to know what my nationality is too. All this would mean so much to me, for I have children of my own and grandchildren. My adoptive parents presided at 25407 74th Ave. Elmwood, Ill. when they adopted me. They never spoke of it much other than to say I was a newborn infant when they got me. I was baptized on 5-10-1949 at Holy Name Cathedral-730 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill.  Kathleen, This is the way it is spelt on the instruction sheet for formula preparation that St. Vincents Infant & Maternity Hospital sent home with me when my adopted parents brought me home.
