Searching For: Biological Parents of my great grandfather Edward Martin Flint for genealogy research.

All Other Information: Adoptive parents lived in Milan, Ohio. Adoptive father sailed schooners back and forth between Ohio and New York, so assuming that is how he brought Edward Martin Flint home from New York. Not sure how old Edward was when he was adopted. Anywhere between 0 to 7 years old. The first time Edward Flint shows up in any records with the Flints is in the 1870 census when he was 7 and his adoptive parents were then living in Chicago, IL.

Searching For: Genealogy Records
All Other Information: I just learned, this year, after my mom passed away that my mom's grandpa was adopted by the Seeber Surname / family. It was kept secret. Layafette's natural mother Frances married Silas Seeber, who adopted Layafette once Layafette's mom married Silas Seeber. It is believed that Layafette Seeber was about 4 years old when he was adopted through marriage. It is also believed that Layafett Seeber's dad was Huntington Doty (surname traced back to the Mayflower somehow ?) Mr. Silas Seeber had previously been married to Ella M. Seeber who left him a widow with many children prior to his having adopted Layafett. New York Census proves much of this information. Uncertain how to go about tracing the search in adoption records and marriage records for Layafette's birth mother Frances. Being as Layafette Seeber's birth mother Frances married Layafettte's adoptive father Silas Seeber, it seems like this would be a reasonable search with a great outcome.

All Other Information: She was found on the 1880 census living with her adopted parents by the name Caroline Loran. We believe this is a typo because they spoke German and the census taker did not spell it right. Her marriage license says Callonita Gordan, her sons death certificate says Carmalalite Jordan. Her adopted parents were very mean to her and treated her like Cinderella. They told her that her parents died in a car accident and never told her who they were. At one point they said they were Irish. She went by Carrie in grade school.

All Other Information: Family lore says that John Hopkins was an out-of-wedlock child born to a Hopkins male and his mistress. But it is possible the father was a Mac Gulphin. His descendants are quite certain this was a family adoption. John Hopkins was raised in Schenectady, so that may be where he was born and adopted. I'm not exactly sure who named him. He was not living with his adoptive parents in 1880, so he was older than 3 yrs. when adopted. Thank you very much!

Email Address: pl_jewellra@yahoo.com
Searching For: Eugene Wyckoff's Birth Parents, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: Eugene Wyckoff enlisted in the United States Marines on 5-6-1909. He used his birth name of Wyckoff when enlisting, and the discharge record states he was born on the 9-8-1885 in Syracuse, NY. although at enlistment in the Marines, he had been "adopted" by Augustus Gundlach and Marcia Carpenter (Gundlach) at some point prior to enlisting. I suspect that Eugene's parents died when he was young, but perhaps not so young, nor under circumstances sometimes associated to being adopted, because Eugene did know his birth surname and used it (as detailed above). However, for his adult life he went by Eugene Wyckoff Gundlach. His "adopting father" Augustus Gundlach and spouse Marcia lived in Oswego, NY on Rural Route 5. They had a farm. Other research I have done indicate that Eugene had a sibling (a brother)who was a professor in New York, but I have no true substantiation or record of that, nor do I have a name. I thought my Eugene may have come out of Anson Wyckoff and Ann Shoemaker, but I just can't find enough data to successfully tie into that data. I am an Ancestry user (jewellra1 is my user name) and I have posted a lot of information about Eugene on my Jewell Family Tree. I have also tried NY Geneaology service some years back, paying the state of NY to look for a birth recored for Eugene Wyckoff, however they had no success. Eugene died in the flu epidemic. Date of death is not certain, but research puts it around 1919. Presumably in Oswego, but could have been elsewhere, presumably New York, as he married in 1914 in New York (Pauline Jane Carpenter) with whome he had two children (Ralph and Pauline Gundlach. my father and his sister. Ralph Gundlach took the surname Jewell as his father Eugene died when my dad was very small (about 1 year old) (Update) Eugene had blues eyes, brown hair, a ruddy complexion, and was a clerk, and his stated birth date was 9-8-1885.

Searching For: Information On Mary Blake's Birth Family. 
All Other Information: Mary Blake is my maternal grandmother. She had three older siblings:  Anna Blake (b. 9-5-1885) Thomas Blake (b. 3-1-1888) and Edward Joseph Blake (b. 3-17-1892).  All four children were baptized in Immaculate Conception Church in Irvington, NY.  When their mother died on 3-18-1896, their father was unable to care for them.  My grandmother's three siblings were placed with the Sisters of Mercy in Tarrytown, NY on 4-20-1896.  My grandmother was sent to the New York Foundling Hospital in NYC on 6-2-1896, from which she was subsequently adopted.  She never saw her father or siblings again.  I know that her sister and paternal aunt (Mary Blake Spohn) tried to find my grandmother - I have a copy of a letter from Mrs. Spohn addressed to the NY Foundling demanding to know the whereabouts of my grandmother.  Apparently, they were unsuccessful in obtaining the information.  My grandmother's children never even knew she was adopted until after her death in 1962.  I would dearly love to find out what happened to my grandmother's father and siblings and determine if any of them have any living descendents.  I recently found out that Edward Joseph Blake married Marguerite May Biehl on 7-12-1924 in Rockland County, NY, but died on 7-21-1934 in Spring Valley, NY (Rockland County) before they ever had any children.  I have been unable to locate my grandmother's other brother, Thomas, or her sister, Anna, past the 1910 census and do not know what became of their father after the children were placed in the two orphanages.

Email Address: jsmarvin9@gmail.com
Searching For: My Paternal Grandmother, Medical History.
All Other Information: Mary Richards, changed to Marie Lawrence, married Armand J. Martel became Marie Lawrence Martel. My grand mother was "admitted to the "Foundling Asylum" later to become the Foundling Hospital on 5-1-1902. Her mother said she was born on 2-8-1902 in NYC NY. She said she was unable to care for the baby. My grandmother resided in the Asylum until 1905 and was adopted by Abraham and Elizabeth Lawrence in Milton Vermont. I am not sure if my grandmother rode the orphan train to Vermont or if they went to NYC. I attained the above info from a letter written to my grandmother when my father went to the hospital 2-4-1958. They wrote to my grandmother to let her know he was making inquiries. They said no other information was available an no inquiries from her birth mother was ever made after my grandmother was dropped off in 1902. My grandmother had a brother also adopted not sure of his name but not her birth brother. I found a record of her in the foundling online records. it just says. Mary Richards age 3, White, Birthday: abt 1902, Residence year 1905 Residence place New York City NY, USA, Role: Inmate. I had my DNA done through Ancestry as well as my cousin Kelly's done. Her mother and my father were siblings. Ann Marie Martel Diamond and Paul William Martel. She has since passed in 2003. My father is still alive but this has always weighed on him. The letter from the Foundling Hospital said there was a baptismal certificate with the letter but it must have gotten lost during the years. My cousin found it. I know also my grandmother lived in South Hero Vermont I think growing up. She attended Saint Mary's then becoming Trinity College of Vermont and since closed. My grandmother died in Vermont living in Ludlow on 8 Pleasant St. Died in Hospital in 1976 Springfield Vermont.
(Update) I did FT DNA testing.

All Other Information: Clarence was last found in the St. John's orphanage, West Seneca, NY from 10-24-1910 to 6-9-1912. His brother George Guenther was there during that same time. Clarence's mother Mary or Mamie (nee Schmitt) died in 1907. His father John Guenther would put the boys in orphanages when he was to busy or couldn't care for them. George was found later in census and lived a normal life. Clarence was taken out of St. Johns and there are no records found for him from 1912 on. His father John lived in the West Seneca, NY area until ?-?-1939.  I see no records for Clarence from that 1912 date on.

Searching For: Any Birth Family
All Other Information: My paternal grandmother was adopted. I am searching for her birth family. She was left at NY Foundling Home by her birth mother. I have the NY Foundling Home records but there is not much information. Through DNA Ancestry, I have determined that the birth father is Charles McConville who had a fruit / vegetable wagon in NYC. Now I would like to find the birth mother's family, last name O'Brien. I cannot find a birth certificate 1904, nor any adoption records. She was adopted by Dacunto or D'Acunto (spelled differently) who were my great grandparents. NY Foundling Home continued to make home visits to the Dacunto's home until Martha was 17 years old. Now I am wondering if she was never officially adopted. The Dacunto's signed the indenture contract with X. Perhaps they could not read/write & thought they were signing adoption papers ? Martha married Louis Bracco at 19 and had 3 sons. We always believed that Martha had been adopted. She was raised as part of the Dacunto family. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Update) Martha had blue eyes and blonde hair. The birth father Charles McConville was born in 1875 & was 29 years old at time of birth.

Email Address: jpg81311@gmail.com

Searching For: Any Birth Family, Medical History.

All Other Information: I am trying to find the identity of my father – in law’s birth parents. The following are the facts that I know:
1. Joseph Paul Gengo born on 8-13-1911 in Brooklyn or perhaps Manhattan. 2. He was adopted by Paolo and Marianna Genco. The last name became Gengo when it was written incorrectly on a census report. 3. My mother –in-law told me that she had contacted a parish priest to try to find his ethnicity. He told her that all he could find out was that his parent(s) were Russian Jews. As he was a priest I am supposing that he went to a Catholic orphanage to get some information. I am guessing that it was the Angel Guardian Home, but do not know for certain. 4. My Ancestry DNA results showed that I was 49% Southern Italian (my mother’s family), 28% European Jewish (Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Western Russia, Belarus & Northeast Poland) 15% Eastern Europe & Russia, 5% France, 1% Spain. 5. My father grew up in Brooklyn where his father worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a longshoreman. They were poor so I doubt that they had the means to go far from home to adopt a child. 6. My father-in-law was baptized in 8-?-1913 in Brooklyn. This makes me think that he was only adopted in 1913 and baptized right away, as was the custom for Italian Catholics. 7. When I got my DNA results and one of my matches was a 1st or 2nd cousin, Kathy Miller, who I didn’t know, I contacted her. She suggested that we meet but never followed through. She said she was frightened by the whole situation. She did ask if my father had blue eyes (which he did) and that she had found out from her oldest cousin that their grandfather, Samuel Joseph Friedlander, was reported to be a bit of a “ladies man”. That’s as far as I got from any information that she gave me. I have tried to contact her again but received no response. 8. Some time ago I contacted Vital Cheks to try to get my father -in-law's birth certificate both under the name Joseph Genco and Joseph Gengo. No certificate was found. This is all the information that I have. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me as I have been doing the research and trying to construct my family tree. Thank you, in advance, for any help that you can provide on this quest. (Update) My father-in-law, Joseph Paul Gengo, died 10-31-1995, therefore he can't do a DNA test. However, my husband's DNA results showed that he was 49% Southern Italian (his mother’s family), 28% European Jewish (Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Western Russia, Belarus & Northeast Poland) 15% Eastern Europe & Russia, 5% France, 1% Spain. I hope hat is of help to you. Marina Gengo.

Searching For: Martha Berman's Birth Siblings, Birth Father (Sam Berman), Birth Mother (Eva Berman), Birth Family, Genealogy Records.

All Other Information: Seeking any birth family members of Martha Berman, her birth siblings, birth father (Sam Berman) and birth mother (Eva Berman) ancestry genealogy records. Here's what I know: - Martha Berman b: 10-8-1911 probably in Brooklyn, New York. I have not been successful in obtaining Martha's original birth certificate nor Sam and Eva Berman's marriage certificate. According to the adoption papers, Martha Berman was surrendered to the Children's Aid Society of Manhattan borough 10-?-1914. Martha Berman was 3 years old. I have been in contact with the Children's Aid Society as they have verified that Martha Berman was at their facility. According to the 1920 federal census, Martha Berman (9 years old) was placed at the Otisville, New York Tuberculosis Sanatorium on 4-?-1919. On 12-30-1920 Martha Berman was placed by an agent of the Children's Aid Society to John and Isabella Mutch of Otisville, NY. Martha Berman was adopted by John and Isabella Mutch on 10-22-1922. John Mutch was employed as a painter at the tuberculosis sanatorium. -- Martha Berman's mother Eva Berman (unknown maiden name) was born about ?-?-1889 in Germany, according to the 1920 Federal census. Eva was about 32 years old when Martha Berman was born. Eva visited her daughter Martha at the Children's Aid Society in Manhattan on 5-11-1916, according to data obtained from the Society. Eva Berman was then admitted to the Binghamton Mental Hospital  in ?-?-1917 (Eva was 38 years old). Eva Berman was an inmate at the Binghamton, NY hospital for 29 years as depicted in the 1920, 1930 and 1940 Federal census. She died at that facility on 10-23-1946. -- Sam Berman, according to the adoption papers, was married to Eva Berman and deserted the family in ?-?-1913. His occupation was listed as a baker. I cannot find any other information on Sam Berman.

All Other Information: Anna Gray was about 24 years old , when she gave birth to her daughter, Marian. Therefore Anna would have been  born about 1892.  Anna relinquished Marian Gray, 6-13-1916,  to  the Sisters, at the New York Foundling Hospital. Marian was baptized  6-14-1916, by Rev. R. Rumaggi, (chaplain at the time) at the New  York Foundling Hospital / Orphanage. Marian Gray remained at the NY Foundling Hospital / Orphanage for the next two years. In 1918,  Marian Gray was placed on the Orphan Train to the State of  Minnesota where  she was met on 6-13-1918  by Emma and Paul Revier. For the next  five years, while living with the Revier Family, Marian continued to use her birth name, Marian Gray, until she was legally adopted by the  Riviers. At that time Marian Gray became Marian Revier.  Any help would be most welcomed. Thank you.

All Other Information: In 1925 his mother was murdered by his father when Manuel was 3 years old, his sister was 2 years old. Social services refused to allow mother's family to adopt them. They were taken to the Cayuga Asylum for Destitute Children in Auburn NY. Family was then told that they were adopted. I do know that the Sister was sent from Auburn to New York City. She was adopted through the State Charities Aid association. Birth family has been searching for them for many years. I have found the sister. She had no idea she had a brother. Please help me locate Manuel.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History.

All Other Information: From birth to age 3 when he was adopted in 1925 Harold could have lived at St. Mary’s Orphan Asylum or Elemcrest before being adopted by Frank & Iva Stacy I have been told by the Catholic Charities in Syracuse. Harold had blue eyes and blonde hair. I hired a genealogist associated with the charity a few years ago and she narrowed down the places Harold could have lived prior to adoption. Frank retired from Eastman Kodak after working there for 30 years. Iva worked at Crescent Puritan Laundry in Rochester, New York. Iva had a burn on her face from a hot iron I have been told. I know that Iva married a few more times to a Fred Ganier and John Fawcett. My grandpa James Stacy is one of the sons of Harold. My grandpa is getting older and for years I've tried to find out where he really came from and give him some closure to his childhood which was very sad. James has always wanted to know where his father came from. In 1975 James visited his grandfather Frank when he was about to pass away. He asked him about his father's adoption. Frank said "he was just a little boy then." And that's all James could get from him before he passed. Harold passed in 2000 and didn't share any specific memories with James about before the adoption. Harold and James had a very difficult relationship, lots of resentment. James still talks about his childhood when his parents would leave the children for days and give them to orphanages back and forth. I have an ancestry account with one of Harold's biological sons James Stacy's DNA linked to it. I have more information on ancestry showing all the siblings of James. I have uploaded the raw DNA to Ged Match. I have tried to get Harold's original birth certificate showing his birth parents, but NY law is so strict James would have to go to the Supreme Court to get it released, which they could still deny the request. I would be happy to send more information and photos of Harold for the Angel willing to help me. I just don't know what would be helpful at this point. Here are some relative dates that may help in the search: Adoptee - Harold Francis Stacy d.o.b. 3-17-1922, d.o.d. 6-29-2000, Adoptee Father - Frank Erastus Stacy d.o.b. 8-18-1891, d.o.d. 1-1?-1975  Adoptee Mother - Iva May Bennett d.o.b. 8-29-1892, d.o.d. 6-19-1973. Biological Son - James Kent Stacy d.o.b. 10-26-1949

All Other Information: Any guidance regarding the best way to procure a Pre-Adoption Birth Certificate for my mother, Mary Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh who passed away in 4-26-2020 due to Covid 19. My mother took the Ancestry DNA test and we have been able to find her birth mother, Mary Ellen Geraghty from Castleblakeney, County Galway, Ireland. She emigrated to New York City, NY in 5-?-1919. My mother's adoptive parents Frances O'Neill and Danforth Van Valkenburgh raised her in Bloomfield, NJ, USA and then in Newark, NJ, USA. Mary Ellen Geraghty married James Hughes and lived in jersey City, NJ, USA and the in West New York, NJ, USA. I have completed the pre-Adoption Birth Certificate for my mother with all the required documentation but I have been told by a person in the office at: Office of Vital Records, Bureau of Vital Statistics New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 125 Worth Street, Room 144, New York, NY 10013 that due to the Covid 19 pandemic, this office remains closed and that if I sent the application it would just sit there. I did notice on this GS Adoption FB page that some people were able to get copies of birth certificate from this office recently. Any help is greatly appreciated.
(Update) Birth mother was 19 years old at time of birth. She had red hair and blonde hair. Mary Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh was 5'6" tall, with hazel eyes and red blonde hair.

All Other Information: The children of Theodore Gilbert would like to help him find out who he is before he leaves this world. I have a copy of the adoption order signed 4-7-1925 and filed 4-9-1925. We know that he was placed into foster care with the Children's Aid Society of New York City and was eventually adopted by his foster parents. He had an adopted sister named Cynthia Gilbert, now deceased.  We don't necessarily want contact with family members, although are not opposed to it. Mostly we would just like to show him where he came from. He has started this search a few times before only to be discouraged and quit. Any help you can give us would be so very much appreciated. (Update) Theodore hair at birth was blond and curly, eyes are blue. He is about 5'9'' now but was probably taller when he was younger. I have absolutely no information whatsoever on the birth parents. (Update) He was given up at two months of age to an unknown "Nursery".  He was placed with a family in another state but it didn't work out and he arrived at the Children's Aid Society in 2-?-1924 ?. His birth father was reported to be "about 40 years old, American, Protestant of German descent, in good health, of normal mentality and with a grammar school education".  His birth mother was in the same report, "American, Protestant, in her mid-thirties, of Norwegian ancestry, grammar school trained, bright and well dressed". (Update) It has taken me several years of research, a scary letter and a DNA test but I have found Theodore Gilbert's birth mother and confirmed it.  I have found his nieces and nephew and we have all been in touch. I do not know who his birth father was.

Searching For: Biological Parents of Josephine Jean Guggluizza, Medical History.
All Other Information: I am the daughter of the Adoptee, searching for the biological parents of the Adoptee (my mother) Josephine has since passed away on 7-21-2002 in Hollywood, Florida. At the time of her death, she carried her second husband's name being, Josephine Jean Lang. Her remains were cremated, and are kept in an Urn in a purchased Crypt at Fred Hunter's Funeral Homes, Cemeteries and Cremation Services, 6301 Taft Street, Hollywood, Florida 33024 Telephone, 954-921-8607. All funeral arrangements were made by her surviving husband, Norman T. Lang, who is now residing in a Veteran's Home in northern Florida, address unknown to me. Unfortunately, I do not have any information about my mother's birth parents, and little information about her adoptive parents (the only grandparents I knew). I do know that her adoptive parents immigrated to the USA from Italy, with my adoptive grandfather coming from Palermo, Sicily in Italy, and my adoptive grandmother coming from Milano, Italy. My adoptive grandmother passed away before I was born, so sadly, I did not have the joy of knowing her. However, I do have extremely fond memories of interacting with my Adoptive grandfather, Peter Guggluizza, who would spend six months with us in Hollywood, Florida, then return to Palermo, Sicily (Italy) for the next six months. He did that for most of my childhood, until he passed away in Palermo, Sicily (Italy) when I reached the age of about 18 years old. The adoptee (my mother) and myself went on a journey upon his death to Palermo, Sicily (Italy) and found his grave with no information on hand, after searching five major cemeteries in Palermo, Sicily. He wanted me to find him. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the cemetery, or have any information about it. His name is Peter Guggluizza, the adoptive father of the adoptee (my mother). The adoptee's first husband's name (my father) was Nunzio Joseph Cosenza (my maiden name), and I believe they were married shortly after World War 2 ended, but before the birth of my brother in 1949. Therefore, I am saying there were probably married sometime around 1946 or 1947 in Brooklyn, New York. On 8-28-1954 the Adoptee (my mother) gave birth to me (Sandra Francine Cosenza) in Queens, New York at Queens Memorial Hospital. When I was one year's old, my parents relocated to Hollywood, Florida where I grew up, and both my parents remained until they both passed away three months apart from each other in 2002. My father, Nunzio Jospeh Cosenza, passed away on 4-21-2002 and is also contained in a Crypt at Fred Hunter's Funeral Home in Hollywood, Florida. My parents (The adoptee and my father) had been divorced since approximately 1970, and both had remarried. The Adoptee remarried Norman T. Lang. My father, Nunzio Joseph Cosenza, remarried Dorothy Carter (her name before she married my father). A description of the adoptee (my mother) is that she was 5'3" tall, with hazel eyes and brown hair, but later dyed it blonde, small feet, and a small body frame. She had no siblings, she was an only child. At the time of her death, my daughter found two sets of birth certificates of the adoptee, each indicating two different birth years. One indicated her birth year as being 1924, the other indicating her birth year as being 1926. Unfortunately, that is all the information I have in regards to these two birth certificates. I am not sure if my daughter still has these birth certificates. Her name is Lisa Marie Arce (her married name), and she resides in Pembroke Pines, Florida with her husband, Jose Arce, her son Jayden (5 years old), and her infant son Gabriel (9 months old). She works as a Pharmacy Tech at the Aids Healthcare Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Please do not contact her without contacting me first for my permission to do so. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. The reason I am seeking the biological birth parents of the adoptee (my mother) is for several reasons. We would all like some closure in finding our family tree, and knowing where our roots derive from. Secondly, I have been developing some medical issues, and when I am asked by the doctor's office if I ever had this illness or disease, I never know how to answer. It is important that we know if there are any medical issues we may or may not need to know about which may or may not be hereditary. This is such a blessing, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing these services. It has been on my mind, as well as my daughter's mind, for a long time now. I pray that you will be able to come up with some answers for us. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need any further information or assistance with this search. Again, thank you so much for this wonderful blessing.

Searching For: Any Information About Birth Family, Medical History.

All Other Information: My grandfather was born in Brooklyn, NY, according to the story we know his birth mother died in childbirth and his father (my great grandfather who was also a doctor) blamed my grandfather for her death and abandoned him at hospital. My grandfather was very ill with rickets as a baby and a doctor at the hospital gave him to a friend of his (Rebecca) who was unable to have children. She nursed him to health and raised him. Both my mother and I have taken a DNA test and had one lead that hit a wall. I believe that match was descended from a sibling of my Grandfather who was also adopted. The DNA also verified we are 100% European Jewish.

She passed away when she was just 52 years old never knowing her birth family or her twin. I am a reunited adoptee and my natural mother has asked me to search for information about her own mother's adoption.  Shirley was fostered with several other children  (including her twin) but she was the only one adopted.  She had been led to believe that she was her parents' natural child and helped care for the 'foster children'  little did she know, until she was in her 40s, that she had been one of them. . .

All Other Information: Looking for my mother's twin sister or brother. She was told that there was one by mother at time of birth. Her mother also told her that this baby had died. I'd like to find out if there was a twin sister or brother and if it did die at birth on 7-7-1928 at Ingleside Home for unwed mothers. Jean Stepneski (Murphy) gave birth to another daughter after my mother was adopted out. That daughters name is Johanne Murphy who I believe lives now in California. Her middle name may be Lee, but not completely sure. If there were a twin to my mother, I would like to know the birth name, time born, if this baby was adopted out or if it died at birth. (Update) I'm not sure of the age of Jean Stepneski. The father was never listed on any papers that I know of as he was a boyfriend I believe. As far as color of hair, natural hair is brown and eyes are blue of baby Jean Marie Stepneski who then was adopted and named Jean Marie Kinner.

All Other Information: I am the great niece of the named adoptee. I have no details on the adoption of this child or where my great-grandparents got him.  At the time they lived in Queens Village at 235th Street. They had a 6 year old adopted daughter as well. Her adoption did not go through until 1930 and was handled by an attorney named Louis Felix. He may have also handled this little boys adoption.  Alice Kendrick was a buyer for a department store. James Kendrick was a chauffeur. Some time later in 1934 they also adopted an infant female child. In the papers on this adoption they used false names and addresses (Hendricks). They may have possibly done the same in the adoption of the little boy. The only identifying info I have on him is that he had a heart shaped birth mark on his left forearm.  In early photos he appears to have light colored eyes and hair. I know that the birth dates of the two female children were falsified. The little boys birth date was always written as 7-28-1929. However this may be off by a few months or so.

Searching For: Adoptee, Adoptive Cousin
All Other Information: Born in NY, supposedly adopted from Hispanic nurse lived in Coytesville, NJ or possibly West New York, Hudson County. Raised by adoptive father, Christopher Becker, Helen Becker got pregnant after she adopted little Christy Becker but lost her life in childbirth as well as the birth child. The child was baptized in the First North Reformed Church in Ft. Lee (Coytesville, NJ at the time) - they do not have a birth certificate but have record of his baptism and date of birth. He would be 80 years old according to birth info. He was dark haired with blue eyes. I would be the Cousin, this would be my Aunt's adopted child Angel. (Update) Birth mother was around 25 at time of birth and I have no age of birth father. Birth mother had brown hair, and blue eyes. (Update) My Mom, Edith Schlick Fevola, was Helen Schlick Becker's sister. She married Christie Becker Sr. She was told she would never have any children so she adopted Christie Magee Becker.  She got pregnant after she adopted Christie and unfortunately she and the baby both died after she had the baby. So the Christie I'm trying to find would be my cousin.  The only information I have from a relative is that he was legally adopted in NYC by a Spanish Nurse and it was a legitimate adoption. I've researched and found a Becker family who told me where he was baptized and I just learned that he was born 10-5-1930 and baptized in this church 12-21-1930. They are sending me the record but no baptismal info. Somehow in my search for my ancestry, I came upon his birth daughter who is searching for him.  divorced her birth mother and she has not seen him since she's two years old. So in my search for my family history we met each other and  I'm trying every avenue to find little Christie Becker who would be 80 now if he is still alive.

Email Address: tammy.bub1976@gmail.com
Searching For: Birth Father, Hospital, Medical History.
All Other Information: If birth was a multiple and what was the twin (gender) where Gladys was from birth till adoption. DNA has been done, we have found a match that is extremely high. It belongs to a woman who was a twin born in 1961. She was given up for adoption long with her twin sister in Warren County, NY. Their birth name was Brown. This is why we think Gladys was a twin, DNA and facial similarities. That set of twins as well as another set from same birth mother (we think) were adopted out of Warren county and born in Glens Falls hospital. Hazel Anna Clough was born in Vermont, approx. 1912, passed 1966. Moved to Glens Falls, NY before marrying a Gerald Culver. Most of Clough family from Vermont, then lived in New York. We think it is a possibility that the Birth father was a Wesley Goodale, 1903 Conn. died 1996 Glens Falls, NY married Agnes Clough 1929. I am not sure what other information that I have that might help.
(Update) The birth mother Hazel Anna Clough was 21 years old at time of birth. She had hazel eyes and brown hair.  The birth father which is not positive, still looking for definite proof Wesley G Goodale was 29 years old. He had brown hair. Gladys Patricia Barber was 5'3" tall, now 5'0" tall, with hazel eyes and brown hair.

Searching For: Medical History, Identity of the birth mother, as well as any of her living descendants. Adoptee (who died in 2009) was my late father-in-law. I am searching on behalf of my husband and his siblings.

All Other Information: The birth mother convalesced at the Guild of the Infant Savior on E. 52nd. St. in Manhattan one month prior to his delivery. Baby was born on 7-1-1933, via c-section. The NYC birth record lists him as “Male Scanlon.” Birth mother recuperated in a Catholic Charities facility (might have been the Guild again) while she nursed him and had him baptized at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church at 55th and 1st in NYC on 7-20-1933 by then-Chancellor of the Archdiocese, Msgr. Thomas G. Carroll. The birth father (ascertained through DNA) was a motorman on the NYC subway #3 line. He was an unmarried Donegal native who lived in the Bronx and was named Patrick J. McCann. The non-identifying information states that the birth mother claimed to have been married but living apart from her husband because he was “a drinker.” It then suggested that the baby was likely born out of wedlock. It said she was about 34 years old at the time (born in about 1899). She left that facility without him at the end of July and paid for them to care for him temporarily through the beginning of 8-?-1933. (Perhaps she was hospitalized ?) She returned on 8-9-1933 for the baby, and they said she appeared to be very sick and they wanted to have her evaluated. She fled without the baby. Soon after, they placed him into the New York Foundling's foster system. He spent time in various foster homes and hospitals and was adopted in 1936 through the NY Foundling by Thomas and Mary (Lee) Roche of Brooklyn. Adoptee had bright blue eyes and strawberry blonde, curly hair, very fair skin, was about 6’0” tall in adulthood. Two of the adoptee's children (as well as their mother) have tested their DNA, which is with Ancestry, 23andme, FTDNA, MyHeritage and Gedmatch. We received non-identifying information from the NY Foundling in 2010. Through DNA, we were able to locate the adoptee's paternal half siblings. A large portion of the adoptee's maternal DNA matches hail from County Mayo in Ireland, particularly the Belmullet area. The closest DNA relative we have on that side is a third cousin (92 cM) thus far. Incidentally, they have "Stanton" relations, leaving us to wonder if the Scanlon surname on the record could have been altered by the birth mother or Catholic Charities.

All Other Information: Other names given to my mother are: Mae Boone, Mary Casson, possible Mary Burwell. I am looking for my mother's birth parents. She is deceased. My mother was born in New York and given to Susie Boone. My grandmother moved to Portland, Oregon the the 1940's and my mother was adopted then in 1947. Looking for biological grandparents and any possible siblings my mother may have. (Update) I have no descriptions or ages for the birth mother and birth father.  I obtained the names of the birth parents through Harlem Hospital in NY.  Manhattan Borough. Eye color for Constance Casson was brown. Hair Color Black. Age of adoptee was about 14 years when it was made legal.  I believe physical custody of the adoptee by the adopted parents was when the child was much younger, but not legally adopted at that time.  Constance Casson attended  P.S. 35 in Brooklyn Borough in 1942 and P.S. 44 also in Brooklyn in 1943 under the name of Mae Boone. Susie Boone is listed as the Parent, but no legal adoption had occurred.

Searching For: Adoptee, Birth Sibling
All Other Information: My birth certificate states there was another child born and living at the time of my birth. The area for "Twin" is not marked although according to the county clerk, it is possible there was a twin. My adoptive father is the birth uncle to the adoptee. The birth mother was the my adoptive father's half-sister. The birth mother was 16 or 17 years old at the time of the adoptees birth. It leaves a range of time the first child was born. ?-?-1934 to ?-?-1939 ? is the range I am researching. Looking for anyone who may have information on an adoption taking place in those years with the same birth mother. The birth mother was sent to Ohio to give birth to the 2nd child but was living in Jamaica, New York at the time the birth sibling was born. She resided there from at least 1930 forward. She married Raymond Klitzke in 1942 and they never had any children. She died in Merced, California in 1990. (Update) Lawrence is 5'9" tall, with light brown eyes and black hair, (now gray). The birth mother had red or strawberry blond hair, from what I can tell in the photos. The nose of birth mother was prominent as is the adoptee seeking the birth sibling. The birth mother father was born in Zannesville, Ohio. The birth mother lived in a home where the parents kept borders in Jamaica, Queens. Shows she completed on the 1st year of High School. Family had connections in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio with extended family in those states. Birth mothers elder sisters were nurses at St Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica, Queens, NY and volunteered at the New York Foundling Hospital. Because the family was poor, She may have sought help at the Foundling facility.

All Other Information: Confirmation Church Record states Baptism was 8-27-1934 took place at Angel Guardian Home. I would think adoption would be at that time or after. Contacted Angel Guardian (now Mercy First) run by Catholic Guardian cannot locate adoption record. They had an arson fire in 1997. They will, however, search microfilm. Birth Record states born in Rockaway Beach, Queens & the LaRuffa family I am researching lived at 154 Beach 115 St as did the Nangano Family who were related. Antionette Nangano LoSciuto is the adoptive mother. Ancestry DNA results will be in shortly, however, daughter's DNA matches those of LaRuffa Family as well as others.
(Update) Certificate of Confirmation 5-2-1944 at St. Athanasius Church, Brooklyn, NY. Father Jasper LoSciuto remarried to Mary Spinelli. Certificate of Baptism - 8-27-1934 at The Angel Guardian Home, Brooklyn, NY. (Update) I am 5'4" tall, with hazel eyes

All Other Information: This baby girl was relinquished on 9-27-1934 by Helen Hines (her birth mother). Although the relinquishment papers state that the adoptive parents last name was Hendricks their name was actually Kendrick. The birth mother stated that the childs father was deceased. On the birth certificate it says that this birth mother had two other children. The papers were drawn up by an attorney named Paul T. Love located on Broadway. This baby had a head full of red hair. It was said that the birth mother was a dancer and also had red hair. Although I have used the term adoption here many times this child was never legally adopted by her new family. They gave an NY address but were actually residing in rural Georgia (Manchester).

All Other Information: Birth parents of my father. He was in the care of the woman I knew to be my grandmother, Dorothy Clark when he was 3 months old. He is listed as living with Dorothy Clark and her mother Charlotte on the 1940 census when Ronald was 5 years old and his name is Ronald Clarke. His mother was listed as Dorothy Clark and she was single, she also had another child that was a baby in 1940 listed as Robert Clarke. Dorothy married Charles Jensen on 12-?-1940. In 1944 my father was legally adopted by Charles and Dorothy Jensen and he is listed as had been a foster child. I am so confused as to where my father came from, Is Dorothy his biological mother ? he is definitely not the biological child of the Jensen line because I had my dna tested. No Jensen matches.

All Other Information: My father's birth father might have had a last name that began with "Black" like Blackburn. My father's birth mother may have lived in Maryland until she died. I believe both birth parents are deceased, but I would still like to know who they are. (Update) I dont know the age of the birth parents at the time of my father's birth. I dont know the color of the birth parent's hair or eyes. James Cathcart Wright's, Jr. eyes are brown. His hair is brown, although it was blonder when he was younger. His complexion however is more olive skinned....like greek or Italian...maybe Jewish. James Cathcart Wright Jr. height is about 6'2" tall. Birth mother and birth father height ?. Birth hospital was in Rochester, NY , I believe. Age of adoptee when adopted ... the story I remember was my father was adopted, but contacted chicken pox or something, and my grandparents who adopted him had to wait two years to get him.  From pictures I'm going to guess the age of adoption around 2 years of age...I think they originally tried to adopt him when he was 6 months old. I heard he was born at St Mary's Hospital. I think one of the birth parents were Italian. I also think the birth father lived in either Philadelphia or New York, as I believe he walked into the jewelry store my father's adopted father worked at once.  I believe the birth father died in New York.I also believe my father's birth mother lived in Maryland, I think she never got married nor had anymore children. That is everything I can remember from very hushed talks when I was a young girl.

All Other Information: I am looking for my grandfathers birth family. my grandfather was put up for adoption when he was very young. my grandmother had told me he was put up for adoption when he was two years old, the reason behind it was because she was going to be marrying a man at which he did not know she had a son. my grandmother had gotten in contact with the adoption agencey about six years ago. they told my grandmother that they had to have a letter from him ( mind you my grandfather has passed on and has been gone from this earth for almost 29 yrs!) I dont know how to track the down, it's like I've hit a brick wall and dont know what else to do. any and all help would be amazing!

Searching For: The identity of my birth mother's (Patricia) family of origin and medical history.

All Other Information: My mother (deceased) lived most of her life in East Orange, New Jersey. She attended middle school and High School there. She first lived in Montclair, New Jersey in the early 1940s. (Update) Patricia was about 5'2" tall, with brown eyes and reddish brown hair. She was a light-skinned black woman. I did not learn that my mother (Patricia) was adopted until she passed away.  So I do not have any information about her birth parents. I have taken the ancestry DNA test and have a close match from my mother's birth side (likely 1st cousin).  I think he may be my half-uncle.

His service record shows him being single as of 4-?-1940 and in ?-?-1945 now has wife, me and two more children. The adoption may have taken place after 8-?-1940.

Steven died 1-28-1982.  Ann died ?-?-1955, Samuel died ?-?-1982. (Update) Ann Krajnikovich, birth mother was 18 and 11 months old when she gave birth.  And our understanding is she was unwed. Her birthday is 10-2-1918 and she is deceased (at age 35). Her hair was light brown/sandy. Don't know her eye color but we think it might be hazel. Her parents were from Austria Hungry. She used the name Krajnikovich on the wedding Certificate. Birth father is unknown... may have been Greek... but only rumor. Steven John Shotwell, born 9-29-1937, (Navy records) born: Brooklyn, NY, brown hair, eyes were brown, weight as adult 116 and only 66" tall. He was killed in an accident in ?-?-1982. We believe that the Steven's name was Steven John before being adopted. I have a picture of Ann and Steve back in ?-?-1941. Adoptive father, Samuel Harold Shotwell, died in ?-?-1982 also. Ann and Samuel were married on in the borough of Manhattan, NY on 4-18-1940. And Sam adopted Steven about that time.

All Other Information: My parents were born in 1908 (father) and 1910 (mother).  My mother was a Methodist and father was a Catholic or so I was told.  He was a meat salesman and my mother was a saleslady / housewife. (Update) I have located his birth mother and sadly all birth relatives (immediate) are deceased. On the birth father's side, which is Ashkenazi, we have maybe determined the birth family group via DNA but are not certain who is who. We are really looking for a DNA researcher to help us. If you have anyone, please let us know. (Update) Birth mother was 28 years old at time of birth. Birth father was 29 years old. John was 6'2" tall, with brown eyes and black hair.

All Other Information:  According to family lore, I was born at West Broadway Hospital on 5-11-1939 and was given up for adoption to the New York Foundling Hospital.  I've been told my birth name was Claire Spiers. According to them, I was shipped to several foster homes before being adopted by Nathan and Anna ! Margaret Beardslee, who lived in the Bronx, New York at that time. Four years later they adopted Donald Robert Beardslee, whom you located for his daughter. Would be most interested in anything you can send; my birth mother would be a very old lady by now and I would like to be able to help her if she needs it.

I have spoken to George's much younger widow and she had very little additional information. No one in the family was aware I existed and my birth mother died before she met George. She did send me George's death certificate, and I have Helen's death certificate which states her parents’ names as John Wilson and Helen Wilson nee Kavanaugh. John Wilson was born in Nova Scotia and died in 1926 at the age of 36.  Helen Kavanaugh Wilson was born in Ireland.
