Email Address: patrickburd@gmail.com
Searching For: Genealogy Records, Birth Family.
All Other Information: I was wondering if you could help me. My great grandfather was William (Smith ?) Burd. He was born in ?-?-1865, he lived in Muskegon, Michigan and family members have said that he was originally from Pennsylvania. He became a doctor and moved to Blind River, Ontario, Canada in 1898, got married there in 1901 (to Marie Argue), became the town's first resident doctor, medical officer and coroner. He died in 1916. A family friend told us he was adopted, but after that the trail went cold. His (adopted) parents were Francis Burd and Mary (nee. Brown) and I am uncertain where they are from. I have been searching for quite some time and have yet to find out where in the United States he is from and who his adopted and/or birth parents were and where they were from (country of origin, etc.). Could you tell me if he was from Pennsylvania ? Any way you could help me would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Patrick Burd

Email Address: littlewing043@yahoo.com
Searching For: Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: Georgena was my great grandmother, and I have been working on our family's genealogy for a couple of years. I was recently contacted by a cousin who received info that Georgena and her brother James (born in 1871) were adopted by Freedom Ann and John L. Roy in 1880. The info she provided indicated that Georgena's mom may have died during childbirth, and her father was killed in a logging accident in the UP of Michigan, sometime during 1879. The Roys provided foster care for area kids, and eventually adopted Georgena and James. If Georgena was indeed adopted it would greatly change the direction of my search. Am having a tough time finding anything to corroborate my cousin's findings, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Email Address: suit98021@mypacks.net

Searching For: Genealogy Records, he is my grandfather, my mother's father.

All Other Information: I found the name of his birth parents in my baby book, Anna Barth and ? Barth for great grandfather. Ethnicity of birth parents and birthplace came from censuses he is on. He listed his father German, mother Dutch, Holland, his place of birth Grand Rapids, Michigan. My mother said I am German, Dutch, Bohemian. He married Anna Dozark 1917, was a farmer, 5'9" tall, with brown eyes and black hair, died ?-?-1952. My mother told me his adoptive parents named him Arthur Barth Smith, keeping birth name for middle name. I have found only Arthur B. Smith in research, including death certificate. He went to school thru 8th grade. I have no other info re childhood and relatives.  Only photos are of him in army or with grandma and family or my grandma's relatives. I ordered a Michigan birth certificate, no luck. I ordered death certificate which has names of his adoptive parents for the first time. Thank you for any help you can give.

All Other Information: Jasper Carl Adkins my Great Grandfather. He passed away on 4-8-1998 in Shelby, Kentucky. Burial Lawrenceburg, Anderson County, Kentucky. He was 100 years of age. Jasper told us he didn't know his birth parents. His birth mother passed when he was a baby. He was an orphan and was placed on a train and sent to Kentucky. A family he was placed with didn’t have the best of conditions and he ran away around the age of 7. I know he was married twice. Once to Madeline and had 2 sons. Jasper "Sidney" Adkins ?-?-1926 and Robert ?-?-1928. on Social security application he had listed a Florence Adkins as his Mother and a John ? as birth father but have not been able to find any info on either. Found him on a 1900 census but that leads to a Lonnie Jasper Adkins different d.o.b. and Different d.o.d. Any info would make me happy ad I would just like to know our Lineage Name I am the last Adkins of our Family or never an Adkins but by adoption only ? Thank you so much for your time. (Update) Jasper Adkins was 5'10" tall,  ruddy complexion, with dark eyes and dark hair. No info on birth parents. The train took him from Detroit, Michigan to Kentucky. He believed he was Native American but documents state white. My last resort is to do a DNA test but have been skeptical. Don't know if a DNA could benefit a Sur name Lineage. (Update) DNA testing has been done with Ancestry. The courthouse or where his birth records were kept burned down.

Searching For: Birth Family, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: Hazel Fern Coon was my great-great grandmother. She was adopted by the Coon family sometime between 1900 and 1910. The Coons lived in and around Dearborn, Michigan. One record stated that Hazel was born in Milford, Michigan, but I cannot be sure about its credibility. According to my great-grandmother, Hazel was originally a DuPrey. I'm not sure how credible this information is, either. According to Ancestry DNA tests I have taken, she is somehow related to the Egbert family of Saginaw, Michigan. I've narrowed it down to Nellie (Lawrence) Egbert, who was married many times. She may be (or may be related to) Hazel's birth mother. One 1910 Census of the family has a child Fern H. Egbert listed who was not present on other records. Nellie was living as a boarder in 1900 and listed as mother of one child, who was not living with her. Perhaps it may be Hazel ?. Frederick Egbert, Nellie's husband, had a sister, Ida, who was married to James DuPrey for a brief time. I initially thought this was my connection to the Egbert family, but alas we do not share DNA with Ida's other children with another husband. We must be related to the Egberts through Nellie, but I am not sure how. Hazel was married at a young age to Henry Edward Lindeman, and had one son and four daughters. They divorced and she remarried to Benjamin Gilbert, and died in 1970. I'm a member of Ancestry.com, and I visit the site nearly every day. My username there is Busha50, if someone wishes to contact me that way. A photograph of Hazel on her first wedding day is at this link:

All Other Information: Looking for my grandmothers birth mother. My grandmother was born in Women's Hospital in Detroit, Mi on 5-13-1900 and adopted in 10-?-1901. I believe her birth mother's name was Grace Phettiplace, not 100% sure of the last name spelling, it may vary. Phettiplace may also be the birth mothers given birth name and not her married name, she could of been a single mother. My grandmother was adopted by John and Mary Elizabeth or Elizabeth Vanosterhaut, again the spelling may vary. I believe my grandmothers name at birth was Eva Mae, upon adoption they named her Johanna Marie Vanhouster. This is some information I found on the internet regarding mothers giving birth at the Women Hospital..after prenatal care in its social service center; the birth mother was then sent with her baby to stay at the Dearborn home for unwed mothers in Dearborn; she surrendered her baby to The Society of St. Vincent De Paul. Not sure if this information is acurate. Also my grandmothers adopted parents lived in Pontiac, MI.

Family has reunited my father and four brothers over the last three years (given up to adoption from a divorce). These family members are in their late 70s and early eighties and would like to know from where and whom they come from.
These records should be open since closed adoptions in Michigan started in 1945, however I have been unable to locate them and need help in accessing the information.

Searching For: My deceased father's birth family, Medical History.

All Other Information: Another petition for adoption was filed by adoptive aunt and uncle later but was never finalized, even though they raised him from the age of four when his adoptive parents divorced. I know there is not much to go on because this was long ago, but I will greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer. My father was told that he was left on the doorstep of a doctor's office. My mother always felt that this was probably just a cover story. He made one attempt to find information (probably in the 50's or 60's) and was told a fire had destroyed the records. He believed that this was just an excuse to discourage further search. One theory that has been mentioned is the possibility that he was one of many Indian babies who were adopted out to white families in an attempt to extinguish the culture. Physical characteristics of my father and his offspring could match this theory. I hope to have my brother undergo DNA testing within the year to see if this bears out. The adoptive parents had ties in the Harbor Springs area and spent a significant amount of time in that area when my father was young. It is assumed that the adoption was filed in Genesee County because that was their full time residence at the time, however, there is a possibility that some transaction (official or unofficial) may have taken place in Harbor Springs.

All Other Information: She was told she was born in Flint, Michigan on 11-27-1921, but the date could have been altered. She always thought she was older than what her birth date would indicate. Possibly born at St. Joseph's hospital. She was brought to live in Cumberland City, Stewart County, Tennessee as a young child. She never knew when or why the adoption took place. (Update) Elizabeth Louise Welch was 5'4" tall, with brown eyes and brown hair. Her birth daughter and birth granddaughter (me) have submitted DNA to Ancestry. (Update) I have ((FOUND)) the biological parents of my grandmother. Birth mother was Myrtle R. Phalen / Falen (1902-1982) ancestors from Ireland. Birth father was William Rudolph Schrader (1899-1965) parents born in Germany. I am now searching for living descendants. Hopefully I can find a picture of one or both. I found them through DNA matches on Ancestry.com.

All Other Information: I understand there was a train wreck and my mother was in the car at the time. Her father and mother were killed and she and her brother were thrown out of the car on impact. The train wreck happened when my mom was 2-3 months old and the car ended up on the tracks and the train couldn't stop in time. My mother, grandmother and grandfather have all passed away now and it has been very difficult to get any information regarding this adoption, or her birth or the accident or our geneology, etc..

All Other Information: Any and all information on birth mother. Any and all information on birth father geneology records. (Update) I do not know the birth mother or birth fathers info. Charles Arthur Cox eyes are gray / light blue and his hair was dark brown. I am Charles' daughter and have his permission to work on this project. His adoptive mother, Lorena  Cox worked for Dr. Sherk as some type of assistant. The biological mother went to Dr. Sherk in Midland, MI to deliver. Her pregnancy was due to an affair.  The birth mother was married and already had a daughter, her husband stated he would not divorce her if she put the baby (Charles) up for adoption. Lorena (adoptive mother) decided she and her husband would adopt the baby at birth. We also know a few years later the birth mother made contact with the adoptive parents and the adoptive parents felt she would come and try to take Charles back. The Cox family for the next 10 years moved around Michigan in hopes that the birth mother would not find them. It was during this time that Lorena burned all her copies of adoption records.

All Other Information: I was told my grandmother lost her birth parents to a car accident. Her uncle was the next of kin but could not take care of her because he was in the war is what I was told. We are looking for birth parents, because we are curious what our genetic lines are.  (Update) Unfortunately we do not know anything about the birth parents at all except that they had died in a car crash, and that her uncle was in the service when this occurred so he was unable to care for her. Shirley's eye color was hazel, hair color light brown, her height was 5'1" tall. Shirley was orphaned at the age of 3 years old and was adopted at the age of 12 years old.  My mother does not think that she was in an orphanage and that she was possibly in a foster home.

All Other Information: I have received a copy of my birth certificate and a copy of the death certificate of who I think is my father.  I was somehow transferred from Evangeline Home (Salvation Army) to the Michigan Children's Aid Society of Detroit. Michigan Aid Society of Detroit is who had legal custody at the time of my adoption in 1940.  I would like to know where I was between 3-23-1937 and 7-?-1940.  I think I may have been in different foster homes and would like to find out who and where.  Any info what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

Searching For: Birth Mother, Birth Father, Birth Siblings, Medical History & Any Info Welcome.
All Other Information:
My father David Lee Lane passed away on 6-11-2010, 3 years ago & as his last wish to us kids (me & my 3 brothers) was that we finally find out the truth as to who his birth father was as well as any other info. I have tried everything short of driving 800+ miles to my home state of Michigan to go record diving. I am at my last resort in seeking help for you guys. Any & All info will be welcome. Thank You so much. I was told by my father that he as a child was told his birth fathers last name was Phillips but I am unsure as to if it was first or last name. My dad kept saying it was his last name. (Update) Birth mother was between 15 & 16 years old ?  at time of birth. Her year of birth was ?-?-1926 in Michigan. David Lee Lane was approx. 5'9" tall, he had hazel / green eyes and dark brown / black hair. (Update) The story through the adoptive family was that on his original birth certificate his birth fathers name was listed. Unsure of first name but have been told his last name was Pillips. I have poured over this & cannot find anything. Also this was an "inner-family" adoption with Bazil & Grace (Keelean) Lane being Margarets uncle & aunt. Bazil & margarets mother Reta M (Lane) Allen were brother & sister.

All Other Information: Sandy is Ottawa / Potawatomi Indian, and was living in Holland, MI, in ?-?-1945, with her mother and myself, when I was forcibly taken from the home at age five and adopted by a white school teacher. Although Sandy and I are actually cousins, we were raised as sisters.  I have never seen nor heard from Sandy again and have been searching for her for approximately 40 years. A few years ago I learned that Sandy had contacted the Bureau of Indian Affairs during the past ten years, and that they have information on her, although they are prohibited from giving it out. I currently am disabled and suffering from advanced stages of diabetes. I don't know how much longer I have to live, but I sure would like to learn the whereabouts of Sandy while I still can.

Searching For: Birth Siblings from 2nd marriage of birth father

All Other Information: Older brother, Alan, born 9-3-1935 (died 8-3-2000 in Miami, FL) and twin sister, Janeth Elaine (current residence is Cape Coral FL) were all adopted by 2nd husband of birth mother on 12-2-1948. Case #3413. Records have since been destroyed by state of Michigan in the early 1970's. We all have brown hair and eyes. Mother's dob 6-30-1915 birth in Greenfield Twp, MI. dod is 4-17-1987 in Wolverine Lake Village, MI. Birth fathers dob is 8-3-1910 in Dalkeith, Scotland. dod is 11-2-1973 in Warren, MI. Married 1-3-1934 in Centerline, MI Divorced case #400605 Wayne County Circuit Court on 12-2-1946. Decree prohibited birthfather from remarring anyone but birth mother for a period of 2 years. Birth father did remarry someone with the first name of Edith. I checked for a marriage certificate for the years 1949, 1950, 1951 but MI has no record of such for those years. She may have come to Michigan from either Canada (Montreal?) or New York ?  I was told they had a baby girl in the early 50's. Her name was possibly Susan or Wanda. My cousin remembers the little girl had brown hair. Another cousin clearly remembers visiting Edith and seeing a small boy child around 1960 and thinks he might have been born around 1957 or 1958. He also had dark brown hair.

We've been trying to find her birth father, and she took a DNA test through Ancestry.com and have all kinds of hits, just what it takes to get someone to respond to you. Adoption was registered with the Michigan Department of Health in Lansing under John K. Altland, M.D., MSPH. Also enclosed was a copy of Donna's baptismal record that had the addition of names of sponsors to it per Jane Burke, supervisor of department of children. But, we have no copy, no attachment of baptismal record. Birth father was supposed to be 19 years old and had known one another since childhood. He was non-Catholic and attended public high school. He left school after his jr year, looking for employment before being shipped off as he was enlisted in 1-A draft classification. His parents were separated and his mother was working. He had one sister. German descent. Donna was signed over by Jane to Catholic Charities and admitted to St. Ann's Home in January 1944. She went to live with the Coleman's in 4-?-1944, and adoption finalized in No. 56063, 6-26-1947. Clem F. Storckman had been Donna's duly appointed guardian ad litem

Searching For: Birth Parents, Any Birth Siblings, Medical History.

All Other Information: Searching for any information about birth parents or other birth siblings. I was the second born of twin girls. According to the birth certificate we received we were born around 6:00 a.m. We were adopted together by the same adoptive parents. We have had several medical issues in our family which are considered genetic. Would like any information concerning that. (Update) We were given very little information concerning the birth parents.  We were told the birth mother was quite young and was probably not married. We think the birth father was in the service.  The birth mother's mother tried to take care of us for the first 6 months but was unable to continue. I think we were put up for adoption in Oakland County.  We were placed with our adopted parents as fosters since that was the ruling back then. We had to be fostered for one year before the official adoption. My twin and I both had blue eyes and blond hair.  She was close to 5'8" tall, as an adult but I was 5'3" tall.

All Other Information: My mother's birth parents were Not married. My mother was in foster care for several months prior to her being adopted. Her birth mother was supposed to had met the birth father at a race track? The birth mother tried keeping my mom, and took care of her through infancy. My mom always wanted to find this family- her blood- but illness took her from me far too soon, and I am searching without her, now. I know my mom had strong beliefs that her birth family was of Irish decent. The birth name of "Denise Hope Lucks" is accurate, but my be spelled differently. I am particularly interested in any siblings she may have had. Anyone of relation, really. If this is read by the family, I just want to thank you for my mom. I miss her so- (Update) DNA testing with Ancestry.com.

All Other Information: (Update) I have no info about my birth parents, I was informed two years ago that I was adopted.  I am 5'11" tall, my eyes are blue, hair was brown. I do know that my adopted parents lived on Windsor ave.  In 7-?-1948, they received a correspondence from the juvenile division of the probate court in Muskegon, MI. They had no children at the time, so I found that to be strange. My birth certificate was dated about the same time even though the birth was 14 months earlier.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Brother

All Other Information: I'm an adult female searching for my biological brother. My biological brother was born at a home for unwed mothers, he was adopted soon after birth, thru a private adoption. I don't know the name of the attorney but his office was in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was told the adoptive father worked at the railroad company with the biological mother's step-father, and that the adoptive parents were unable to have children of their own. The baby and mother stayed at the home in Jackson, Michigan until 4-1-1948. The baby went directly to the home of the adoptive parents and the biological mother signed adoption papers in the attorney's office sometime later.

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: Edgar D. McIntosh Jr. Born to Mary Louise McIntosh b.2-14-1925 or ?-?-1927 ? & Edgar D. McIntosh in 1948. I have a lineage paper that says Ed Jr. birthday was 7-23-1948 but the month & day is not for sure. Ed has an older sister Catherine Virginia McIntosh born.3-23-1945. I am the granddaughter of Catherine McIntosh & she has been looking since she was young for her birth brother. She is now very sick & in a nursing home. I was told by her & other family members that when she was in the care of her mother & 2nd husband Jack Stanley that Jack beat & burned the children & they were taken from the house a few times but somehow they always got the kids back. My grandma said she came home from school @ 5 years old & her birth brother had been taken from the home by his birth mother & step father. She said she never seen him again. She stayed in the home & was repeatedly raped by her step father Jack & had 2 children (girls) born when she was 11 years old & 13 years old. Her mother Mary sold those children to a woman that she knew. So as you can see there is a lot of bad family history here. A lot of abuse to the Ed also, burning hot bathes & cigarette burns & car lighter burns, may still be visible on Ed. My grandma has burns also on her body just like described on Edgar. My grandma would love nothing more than to meet her only birth brother. She has a lot of psychological problems from all of that. I would also love to meet her birth brother, I am also an only child. She is a loving grandma & has always been kind & loving. Please if you may be Edgar Jr. Know that u were never forgotten by her or her kids & grandchild. Mary is since passed away in 1998. I hope we are able to connect ASAP. With love, your great niece Layla.

Searching For: Birth Family, Medical History, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: My mother was adopted in 1948 and died in 1975, before finding her birth parents.  I'm searching, now, for family history and health history. This number is listed at the top of the adoption record.  Not sure if it means something, but just in case, it's J-80-2851-4M-2-49. The Adoption record also says, "In the matter  of Cheryl Ann Louis, minor ... No.4385.  Petition was filed in Wayne County courthouse on 10-21-1948. Birth mother forfeited rights to my mother, and adoption was soon granted after my mother became a "ward of the court"

All Other Information: Adoptive mother states that the records were sealed, also, his adoptive mother states that he was placed in their care when he was 6 months old & he was adopted when he was  5, ?-?-1953. She also states that she thinks the birth parents may have had other sons and was looking for a girl child when Richard was born.  It sounds to me that maybe the real parents hated to give up their son--but do to extreme circumstances--it took them 5 years to do so.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Half-Brother
All Other Information: Birth mother was 17 years old so she was sent to a "nunnery" as my aunt said in Detroit, MI. But that's all that she remembers about it. My aunt said one possibility is Marshall King, who gave her drum lessons. At that time, Mom was in a band. She played clarinet. They grew up in Calumet, MI very near the Air Force Base so there were always AF guys hanging out at my grandmother's house. I work out of the house and am available to help. I'm also fairly savvy with a brain cell or two that still function. I left a message with Julia Arnold at an organization that was called Catholic Charities. please feel free to email or call anytime. Thanks for your help!

Searching For: Adoptee

All Other Information: Seeking male adoptee.  Born in 1949 or 1950 or 1951.  Birth mother name is Martha Gloria (Howes, Gaskin or Gaskins, or Stanley) I have picture of "Tommy".  Birth mother legally Martha Gloria Gaskins at time of birth.  Birth may have been in Florida or Michigan. Possibly a private adoption within 1.5 years of young life. I have a photo where the house he was at had 4917 for an address street unknown, believed to be in Florida. Birth mother had a daughter named Linda-Lee Elizabeth Gaskins that was born on 2-7-1947 in Tampa, Florida that she kept. There are more half-siblings.  Birth father may have been in Navy.  Adoption could have taken place in Michigan, Ohio, Florida or Indiana. Very heartbreaking to not locate him. Birth mother has Alzheimer's and adoption information is lost or the truth hasn't come out.  Legally married to John Lee Gaskins at time of birth.  Family names are Howe, Howes, Gaskin, Gaskins, Stanley, Brown, Leipus. Birth mother uses the name Gloria rarely uses Martha Gloria. Could even be California.  Search google for Terrilee Hodroj for current contact information. Birth mother known as "Gloria" has family ties in Michigan and Florida at the time. Birth mother born in Wayne, Michigan and family moved to her Grandmother's home in 1945.  Birth mother d.o.b. 4-3-1930. Martha Baumgartel is her Grandmother's name. Other family names are Roll, Pittman, Brown, Stanley. The family believes the story is that the baby known as Tommy never came home but that at a later date, the Birth mother was allowed to visit and this is when the picture was taken. A Birthdate of March 1st has been suggested.  The visit with "Tommy" took place when his sister was approximately 3 years old.

All Other Information: My mother was on of two twin girls who were adopted together, her sisters name was Mary Ann Castillo at birth, then changed to Marina Garza when they were adopted.  They were told that they were abandoned, and that they had other siblings, possibly other multiples.  My mom has trouble with the computer, so I am trying to find her birth family for her. And she vaguely remembers being in foster care.

All Other Information: Certification of birth certificate filed with state on 12-10-1953. (Update) Birth was in Grand Rapids, Michigan at Salvation Army Evangeline Hospital. Karen was her given name at birth. However her middle name Ann was from her adopted parents. Her heritage is Dutch, French, English, Irish & Scottish.  Karen had reddish-blonde hair and blue eyes. Karen's birth mother was 128 lbs, 5'3" ht, fair complexion, blonde hair, blue eyes. She quit school in 11th grade to go to work to help support the family. She liked domestic hobbies like cooking and sewing. She had an IQ of 77. She was protestant and in good health.  Karen's mother had 7 older sisters who were of fair complexion and some were red-heads. The reasons for putting Karen up for adoption was: even though she had an interest in Karen, she wanted a mother and father to provide for Karen. She also had no material advantage for Karen and was in no position to give her the kind of care she deserved. Karen's maternal grandmother was Scottish and Irish, in perfect health and was in her 50's at the time of Karen's birth. Karen's maternal great-grandmother was in her 70's at the time of Karen's birth. Karen's maternal grandfather was French and Dutch and was crippled in an accident and couldn't work. Karen's maternal great-grandfather was a lumberman who was killed in a lumbering accident in his 50's. Karen's father was 5'5" ht with red hair and was 22 when Karen was born. He said the child was not his. Karen's father was a baker, was from the South and had an uncle who lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Karen's father had 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Karen's paternal grandfather was of English heritage and was a farmer. Karen's paternal grandmother was Dutch. The grand parents lived to an old age and died of natural causes. The first home Karen was placed in thought she had problems with her legs so Karen went to Mary Free Bed Convalescent Home (still operating as Mary Free Bed Hospital) for special care and evaluation to see if she had a disease that would make her ineligible for adoption. She was placed in her adopted parents home on 2-20-1952 on a trial basis. A petition for adoption was filed on 10-8-1952. Final adoption papers were signed on 12-4-1953.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling

All Other Information: I am looking for my sister. I was born in 1955 and I have a twin brother. I was told by my mother that she had a daughter, but was forced by her parents to put up for adoption. My mother regretted this decision her entire life. Because it was so painful for her I did not ask her any questions other than what she told me. The adoption could have taken place in Wayne or Oakland or Macomb Counties. She said she named the daughter Sylvia and the family that adopted her was Cross or Kross.

All Other Information: Information provided on Birth Certificate that isn't provided above is as follows; only number on the birth certificate is 121-0702356 sex: female, single birth, time of birth not recorded (possibly born in ambulance enroute to hospital) Certifiers Name: Gerldene Bryant, Registrars Name: Arlene Slater, Residence:Bronson, Parents birth dates are not recorded. Adoptees current height 4'11-5' tall, brown eyes and brown hair, prominent nose, freckles. Relationship to Contact: contact is my daughter who has helped me every step of the way to find my birth parents. which brings us to additional information we beleive to be true and accurate: I was always told my birth mother was single and that my birth father was military and stationed at Fort Custer in Battle Creek which is a near by city also that he may be French ?. I do not have my non identifying information, My adoptive parents have both past away and there was nothing in their paperwork about my adoption. Around 1991-1992 my daughter decided to research, since we were back in my childhood town, she decided to start with the local news paper the Coldwater Reporter, with the date of my birth checking admissions to the hospital, oddly enough there was only 1 admission and discharge within a day of eachother a female named Lois Washburn, upon discovering that information we found out that Lois was from a near by town of Union City, so my daughter went to the high school in Union City and asked to search their records and yearbooks for the name Washburn and they let her! so with that she found several washburns, my daughter then got chatty with the office perosnnel and found that 1 washburn had actually wrote to the school when she married and provided her marital name, Mildred (Washburn) Walker who is the oldest daughter of Lois Washburn. eventually my daugther via phone calls etc. (this being before computers took over the world) found Lois Washburn living in Battle Creek, this all took place within a 10 day period, my daughter made the inital contact and within a few days we went to meet who we believe to be my birth mother, Lois had suffered memory loss from a diabetic coma however remembered having to give a child up for adoption unable to care for the child. however Lois was unable to recall the birth father's name, Lois had 2 daughters previously both from military men based at Fort Custer. Milred (Mickey) being the first then Judy who is 4 years older than I, then a few years later Lois married and had 2 more daughters, its important to note that the 2 girls born first were being raised by their maternal grandmother its believed that the grandmother may have either refused to care for another child or was just unable to. Judy has mentioned although she was young she remembers things being said such as I may have been born in the ambulance enroute and that Lois may have been a "wet nurse" after my birth for some income. since we found Lois she past away a few years later, We never aquired any kind of DNA to prove she was my birth mother however they say I'm the one who resembles her most. My daughter is very involved in ancestry research and recently ancestry.com has offered DNA test to discover your ethnicity so my daugther and I both did the DNA its important to note that the following information may not be of any help but its interesting to know and some of the areas listed tend to overlap... the results show that I'm 41% European Jewish, which includes these areas  Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, parts of Bulgaria, parts of Turkey, parts of Serbia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, parts of Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium,  Netherlands, and a small lower portion of U.K. London, parts of France such as Paris (keep in mind I have a very prominent nose) I'm also 35% Eastern European which includes these areas: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, parts of Bulgaria, parts of Turkey, parts of Serbia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, parts of Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and a small lower portion of U.K. London, parts of France such as Paris, Greece & surrounding islands, Albania, Fyro Macedonia, Montenegro.and I'm 24% Central European which includes: parts of Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and a small lower portion of U.K. London, France.  (Update) Given first name of adoptee at birth: Baby Girl, birth siblings, age & sex female,age 7 years old, female,age 4 years old, adoptee's background, racial: Caucasian, ethnic: English, description of biological parents age at termination of parental rights, birth mother 29 years old, biological family, education, occupational, professional, athletic, or artistic achievements birth mother 9th grade education. Birth father 8th grade education, was in the Navy status of termination voluntary.

All Other Information: The following information was taken from a copy of the adoption home investigation that I have. Names have been whited out. It has the following on the paper: Wayne County A-17,390 Probate #8976. Paper. "Mr. and Mrs. Smuk (adoptive parents) were referred by attorney ? and the adoption was arranged by Mr. & Mrs. ? sister and prother-in-law of the natural mother, who know the adopting parents. We had no knowledge of the case until the adopting parents came into the office on 11-21-1951 and were seen by Miss ?. Mr. & Mrs. Smuk (adoptive parents) have had this child in their home since her birth. They were explained the adoption law and that they could not have child in their home and that a boarding care plan would have to be made for child. However, the child was placed in the home of the natural mother's sister pending the adoption investigation. The natural mother is anxious to have all of this kept very quiet, because only her mother at home knows about the baby and she does have brothers and sisters. The natural mother of the adoptive child, ? was born on ?-?-1930 in ? Michigan. She is of Irish and English descent. She is 5'4-1/2" tall, weighs 115 lbs, has brown hair and blue eyes. She attended school as far as the 11-A grade at the ? Schools. At the present time Miss ? (natural mother) is employed in the credit department of the ? Company ? earning approximately $34.88 per week. Her former employment was at the ? Company for one year doing general office work and the ? Company as a telephone operator for one year. She also worked at the ? as a waitress, which is the first job she ever had upon leaving school and she worked there for about three years. The natural mother's father, Mr. ?, age 64 and her mother Mrs. ? nee ? age fifty-one, live at ? Avenue, ? . Her father is employed at the ? Division in ? Michigan. Natural mother has 10 siblings, 7 sisters and 3 brothers. Natural Father: Natural mother named as the alleged father of the adoptive child one ?, twenty-two years old, who quit school while in the 12th grade at ? High School. He is musically inclined and also artistically inclined. He is a Catholic, and of Irish and English descent. He worked for the ? in ? when she knew him. Natural mother occasionally sees hime at the present time, but he does not know of the birth of this child. Mr. ? (natural father) has light blond hair, blue eyes, is 5'10-1/2" tall and expects to be called into Military Service soon. Mr. ? (alleged father's) father, Mr. ? and his mother, Mrs. ? live in ? Michigan. His father is employed at the ?. Alleged father has a sister ? who is married to ? and has one child and a brothers, ? who is in Military Service stationed in Germany. When the adoptive child was born in the hospital, Miss ? (natural mo, was told that she could place the child under the adopting father's name and then there would be no question but what the child would be adopted, and also it would be much easier. However, this made it very much more difficult, becaus the birth certificate sould not come from Lansing if it was un that name. The attorney, Mr. ?, however, has asked Miss ? (natural mother) to sign an affidavit that the adoptive child is not actually the adopting father's and the birth certificate is being straightened out at ? hospital, in ?, Michigan, and will be forwarded to Lansing, so the entire matter can be taken care of, during the probationary period of the adopting parents. Worker seemed to feel that Miss ? (natural mother) was not advised correctly. She stated that it was the adopting parents whom she had known and her sister had know for quite some time, and it was her sister (crossed out) the adpar (added in) who had advised her of this plan. The alleged father and the natural mother were engaged, but after she found out that she was pregnant, she broke off the engagement and sees him only occasionally, according to her story.

Shapero. His office was on Kercheval. (Update) Since posting in 2003 I have found out that there is not a record of my adoption in the state of Michigan or anywhere else. I assume that my birth mother went into the hospital using my adopted mothers info. The doctor was in on the whole thing. I do not know if my adopted mother paid him to keep the secret or not. I was told that my birth mother married several years after my birth and she had children from her marriage but the person that gave me the information did not know how many children or if they were boys or girls or both.

All Other Information: According to non-identifying information from Catholic Social Services (which is reported as being traditionally inaccurate) my mother was 28 when she had me and already had a 6-year-old daughter.  Father had divorce pending with 3 children of his own, I believe two boys and a girl.  Heritage was listed as English, Dutch, and French descent. Father played saxaphone, had history of asthma (so much for playing the saxaphone).  A grandfather on one of the sides died of stomach cancer.  I was not released for adoption until six months old, was in foster care until then.  Foster mother made me a cute blue flowered striped dress and matching bonnet.  I was nine months old when adoption was finalized in 8-?-1953. Interesting note:  I recently discovered that the wife in a couple who were dear friends of my parents, her maiden name was Brown.  Suspect that this may be actual birthmother.  Do not care to disrupt whole family because circumstances would have been a scandal.  Figure if one of the older or younger siblings is reading this, then they know and can contact me.  Hate to approach myself because the woman was a saint (really - we are all human) and if the kids don't know don't want to destroy family.  However!  If someone is thinking that the stillborn baby wasn't really stillborn, contact me! Update  Mother divorced already with daughter age 6.  Light hair and eyes.  Father divorce pending - never knew if finalized.  Father dark hair, light eyes.  Had two other children, sex not specified.  Mother aged 28 at time of birth.  Father aged 27. Mother's mother still living, 71 yrs. old at time of  birth. Mother's father had died of stomach cancer. Father reported as tall, thin and athletic with music ability - rumor has it he played the saxophone, how with asthma bad enough to be hospitalized, I don't know. Mother reported as "somewhat stocky"  (Cripe! She was pregnant!) Seeking any birth relatives!

Searching For: Birth Parents, Any Birth Siblings, Medical History.
All Other Information: Was told by adoptive mother, that I was last of 5 birth siblings and birth family couldn't afford me. She further told me I was born in Kalamazoo, but I saw copy of original birth and it states Detroit. Being 60 years old now, I would just like to know who my birth parents were, as my side of my son's family tree is empty. Would be great to speak to my birth siblings, who grew up with my biological parents. All help is appreciated!.
