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

Searching For: Genealogy Records

All Other Information: Seeking information on my Dad's grandfather on his Father's side of the family who was adopted. His adopted name was Charles A, Geddes and the family resided in Philadelphia. We found the family on the 1880 census (His adopted father was Alexander Geddes and a plumber) My great grandfather Charles A. Geddes had a patent for the first seltzer machine. We did find the patent online. He must have learned his skill from his adopted Father Alexander (plumber). We believe he was adopted sometime between the 1870 census and the 1880 census as Charles A. Geddes was not on the census living with Alexander and Sarah Geddes in Philadelphia in 1870. In speaking to my Dad's second cousin, he remembers his Grandmother (Sarah Geddes, a child of Charles A. Geddes) telling him that her brother saw his Dad (Charles A. Geddes) birth mother in the neighborhood and that she was Irish and that her mother was born in Ireland. This means that the information on his birth mother was known by Charles A. Geddes' children. Charles A. Geddes married in 1889 Alice Grimes in Philadelphia and unfortunately she was admitted to a mental institution leaving Charles A. Geddes to raise the children (they had many. children (Jennie, Alice, Sadie, Rose, John, Charles J. (My grandfather), Anna and James. Chares A. Geddes spent many years after 1920 as a boarder living in New York. We don't know the year he died but believe it was after 1940 and before 1950. We were also told by my Dad's second cousin that his funeral was at St. Raymond's in the Bronx, New York. The latest info we were able to find is that he was listed as a boarder on the 1940 census living in the Bronx.

All Other Information: I am trying to find the birth parents of my GGM. She might have been at St. Joseph's Asylum on Spruce Street in 1880. She was then listed as 8 years old on the US census.
(Update) Birth mother was around 25 years old at time of birth. Birth father was around 27 years old. Julia was extremely short, under 5'0" tall and very slender in build. She probably had brown eyes and brown hair, The story was this: Julia's birth mother died within six months of her birth. Her birth father then died within a year or two. That is why she was adopted.

Searching For: Genealogy Records
All Other Information: Searching for my paternal grandmother was born in Wysox, PA or North Orwell, PA. Ancestry has her birthplace listed as a Wysox, but her death certificate lists her birthplace as North Orwell, PA. Her death certificate also states she was born on 8-24-1881 in North Orwell, PA, but Ancestry states she was born on 8-24-1876 which was five years earlier. A census from 1880 stated that she was 3 years old at the time the household was questioned, so I suspect that the actual birth year is 1876. I have a picture of her adoptive mother, Frances Tuttle Cass, and the studio where the photo was taken was located in Myersburg, PA. My paternal grandmother's adoptive father, Anson Benjamin Cass, was definitely from New York State. Both adoptive grandparents died in Schenevus, NY in 1921 (Frances) and 1926 (Anson). They were married in 1866. Frances was 19 years old at the time of their marriage. They remained childless until they adopted my grandmother, Georgia E. in 1876. I tried repeatedly over the last 45 years to obtain information about my paternal grandmother for whom I was named. My parents passed away when I was in my late teens within a few months of each other. My father only knew that his mother was adopted and we visited some of the Cass family in the early 1960's. I remember a lake with cottages and a riding stable that a cousin named Emory or Ellery Cass owned and it was called Lake 'O Meadows somewhere in upper NY state. Another cousin's name was Phoebe Cass. My grandmother passed away on 3-24-1926 in Oneonta, NY, according to the death certificate. At the time, she was married to my grandfather, James Homer Douglass and they resided in Schenevus, New York, Delaware County. I have her marriage book stating that she was living in Schenevus, NY, on the date of her marriage, 9-23-1908, to my paternal grandfather, James Homer Douglass, from Davenport, NY.! My father, Carlyle Benjamin, was their only child and only 15 years old when she died in 1924. Please contact me at any time, if you think I can provide more information. I submitted my DNA testing kit to Ancestry and the company received it last week. Thank you for any assistance you can provide regarding my biological grandmother's background. Sincerely, Georgia Douglass Dickinson.

Searching For: Genealogical research - searching for my biological great-grandfather's parents - the source of my families last name, Smith. Specifically, my father's, father's, father's, father.
All Other Information: Harry "Smith" told his sons he was left at an orphanage at about 1 year old, & claimed used birth date of 8-22-1884. In one instance he said he was born in Burnside, PA. On census forms he lists his place of birth as PA, Iowa, PA & PA, from 1900-30. In 1930, he said his father was born in MO and mother in PA - not sure if this is for his birth parents. His actual place & date of birth are unknown. He was told he was left with a note reading, "please take care of our little Harry." Harry tried to track down his birth family for the whole of his life, and at one time believed he'd found them. He believed the last name started with an "H" and the family had moved to Texas after leaving him, then back up north at some time later. They had older children living with them. We aren't sure if this was the correct family. We don't know the date of his adoption, but do know he thought he was in an orphanage in Northern Missouri, or Southern Iowa. Harry married Laura Sumner and they had 8 children. Harry worked as a policeman for many years. One of his nicknames was 'shorty.' His adoptive parents had 3 biological children, 2 living as of the 1900 census. (Update) Harry's date of birth, according to his WWI draft card registration was 8-22-1883, which is different from other records stating 8-22-1884. Since he filled out the card in his own hand, I believe he may have actually been born on 8-22-1883

All Other Information:
(Update) My grandmother died before I was born, so I can't answer with any certainty any questions regarding her features, but based on making comparisons with what few b&w photos I have, she was probably about 5'3" to 5'4" tall, with grey or green eyes and brown hair. The features of her 8 daughters are grey or green eyes and brown hair. Although all of them were taller than she. She was most probably of Slovak descent. Her adoptive parents were from Bohemia. I did DNA testing with Ancestry. I have uploaded my Ancestry test to MyHeritage & FTDNA, & GED # on file.

All Other Information: Fred Brooks US Census 1910 indicated he was from Germany and Ann his wife was born in PA. They had an adopted daughter Annie Brooks and an adopted son Russel Brooks he was born 1898. I don't know if they were natural brother & sister. I can't find any information on Russel. I always thought I was a Harman but after DNA test at 23&me, I don't match any of them. Also, on Gedmatch, I match no Harman's on there either. Annie Brooks married John Harman who was a servant of Fred Brooks. They all lived in Tivoli, PA for a while, I think. I just found that out and am going over there to look for churches that might have some information. Later the Harman's moved to Muncy on Glade Run where they kept a farm for many years. My grandfather was supposed to be John D Harman but he is not according to what I've been able to deduce. I'm thinking my grandmother had a liaison with someone which produced my bio mother who had me I guess. I'm not even sure about that.

Athens is a borough in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, two miles (3 km) south of the N. Y. State line on the Susquehanna and Chemung rivers.

(Update) Archie Beebe, his adoptive parents were: William Beebe and Carrie (Warriner) Beebe, Archie married Lillian Hirn on 3-3-1921 in Franklin County Ohio, Carrie Beebe (mother) was born in New York approx. ?-?-1881, William (father ) was born in Pennsylvania in approx. ?-?-1869, in the 1920 Census he lived with his family in Steuben, NY.

Searching For: Genealogy Records

All Other Information: Howard E. Horn was my grandfather. He was adopted from the Friend's Home in Philadelphia. PA in the early 1900's. From what I have been told the home burnt down along with the records. I did find information on the people that adopted him to work on their farm in Dover, DE. and in the census report he was listed as a boarder. Not a son. He always used to tell me he wasn't a Raughley but was more like an indentured servant.  My grandfather worked on the Raughley farm in Dover Delaware. He came from the home in Philadelphia via steam boat into Lebanon, Delaware. He arrived wearing a tag around his neck with his information. The Raughley farm was located on part of what is now Dover Air Force Base. He also dropped the "e" on the end of his last name as he was teased. My grandfather never drank alcohol or swore so he took great offense when he was called "Hornie". Ernest Burton Raughley 12-10-1878 – 7-24-1972 Buried in Denton, MD. 1920 Census: address was Ritten Hammock Rd. Dover, DE Ernest was 41. Eva 38. My grandfather was 19. He also had a brother, Carl Stallings that was adopted by a family in North Carolina. William Carl (Carl Alfred Snyder Horn) Stallings 2-17-1903 • Pennsylvania  2-15-1972 • Harrington, Kent, Delaware. I remember my Great Uncle Carl and how he found out he had a brother and came to Delaware to find him. He then ended up marrying my Grandmother's sister, Sadie. So sisters married brothers. My grandparents had twin, identical, girls. After my Aunt passes there will be no more Horn's and my Aunt and Uncle never had children.

All Other Information: Searching for Harold's birth father, my dad's grandfather. At age 22 Harold was 5'8" tall, brown eyes, brown hair, fair complexion. On 1910 census he is listed as Harold Rice b. Penn, father b. in NY. He was living in Fall River Co, SD. In 1918, he enlisted in the Army as Harold Nelson. Mother Gertrude Lucille Simons b. 1874 in PA. She was living in Swedish Township Potter Co, PA in 1900, 8 months before Harold was born, with her brother and his wife. Harold died 8-10-1944 of TB as Harold Nelson; don't know if he was legally adopted by E. Nelson, but no marriage cert is found for Gertrude Simons to Rice, just a reference to Rice on her marriage cert to Nelson in 1905; says it was her second marriage. It isn't just a matter of geneology, but our family is shocked to find out our lineage is Rice, not Nelson. It was kept a secret by Gertrude until her death in 1957-8. As far as we know, Harold was an only child to Gertrude, but did he have brothers/sisters by father named Rice? Harold married Helen Sutherlin and had 3 children: Richard, Yvonne & David (my dad). Thanks for any help you can provide to me.

All Other Information:  Her birth mother died and birth father was not able to care for her so she was adopted. Either her birth mother, father or both were a Seneca Indian in Pennsylvania.  Henry and Nettie Swarteslander also adopted a son, John Swarteslander. I have also seen Swarteslander spelled Swartzlander. Mary ELizabeth was born 2-4-1903 and by age 7, in 1910 she shows up listed as adopted daughter by Henry and Nettie Swarteslander in the 1910 US Fed Census (PA). The area this happened in was around Cherrytree township, Oil City, Franklin, and Titusville, PA.

He died 11-2-1958 of a heart attack as he reported to work at C&K Coal Company in Butler County. In the 1910 cencus Clara & Cash Monroe adopted "son."

Richard Monroe reside in Parker, PA Armstrong county at this time. He owned the Parker Appliance Store; prior to this he was a traveling salesman in PA and OH. Clara & Cash Monroe had about 6 children:  Sara, James Arthur, Ermma, Eleanor, Maude and Richard (believed father).

Was told her birth name was Elizabeth Saddler and was born in Philadelphia. Was told her birth mother was a dancer. Loved her dearly; she died in ?-?-2002. Have looked for information without success for years.  Thanks.  (Update) My grandmother had blue eyes and fair strawberry blonde hair. Based on the genetics of eyes, at least one of her birth parents had blue eyes and probably both. She was very petite. We do not know the age of the birth mother. She had been told that her birth parents were getting divorced and that is why they were giving her up for adoption. But we don't know that that is true.

All Other Information: Searching for my grandmother Kathryn Leona Savignys actual birth parents names. We suspect the father is John Cranis / Kranis / Kraenis / Kresslyn via information gathered between 12 separate family member dna tests between both families involved. We have never seen her actual birth certificate and even she was a little confused on her actual birthdate wondering if it might be 3-13-1913 but unknown why she thought that. Both Kathryn's adoptive parents came to the USA from Canada approx. 1910-1911. Adoptive father Charles was born in Sorel, QB and Georgina was born in Ontario, Canada.
(Update) Kathryn was 5'7" tall, silver, blue eyes. (Update) Birth father was 48 years old at time of birth.

His birth mother was 22 at time of birth  His birth father was 40 at time of birth. Medical History is Neurofibromatosis most likely on the birth fathers side. I do not know any more info than that. If I had to guess when he was put up adoption, it would be before the age of 1. I was told his birth mother left him and his 2 other birth siblings for some time.  I do not know where the birth father was at the time. His birth brother went to one set of grandparents and his birth sister to other set of grandparents. I am assuming the adoption took place in Bradford County, PA.

Searching For: Adoptee, or Any Descendents.

All Other Information: I have no more information to offer. My grandmother gave this baby up at St. Vincent's Home for Unwed Mothers and Orphanage in Philadelphia. I only just learned of this information. It was kept a secret by family members for many years. My grandmother passed away in ?-?-1994. I was told my grandmother was raped and because it was always said to be the girl's fault, her father did not press charges so that her name (or his) would not be disgraced.

Searching For: Identity of Birth Parents, Medical History.
All Other Information: I am trying to find out who my mother's (adoptee's) biological mother and father were. Info we have suggests that biological mother was the daughter of a family who owned a department store in Lancaster. They put an ad in the paper stating that they would give a baby (my mother) to a family along with $10,000. My adoptive aunt saw the ad in the paper, and then took the baby (my mother) by train to her sister and husband (the Palmers) in Blacklick, PA. Birth mother might have been Jewish, and that is the main issue we are trying to resolve.  (Update) Nancy Jane Palmer - Color of hair - black / dark brown and color of eyes - brown.

All Other Information: Searching for the birth records of William John Youpel, my husbands deceased father. We have a birth certificate that was issued in Chicago, IL in 1955 for him, but all other records found indicate he was born in New Castle, PA. We cannot find actual marriage records for Andrew Youpel and Ina Swoger, nor any real birth record for William John Youpel. My husband thinks that his father William John Youpel was adopted. My husband, William Andrew Youpel, has taken a DNA test and there is no indication via Ancestry.com that he is a Youpel.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Birth Family, Medical History.
All Other Information: My father (Donald Perry) will be turning 90 next year and he has always wanted to just know who his birth parents were. My half-brother and I are hoping to give him this information before he dies. My brother and I would also like to have any potential family medical information because of health issues that he and I have both had. We understand that there was a fire in the Veil Maternity Hospital and all records were lost. Donald's birth record number is 77022, Commonwealth of PA. Donald Perry lived in Cornwall, NY most of his life and still lives there. He may have originally been taken to NJ after adoption but the family moved to Cornwall, NY in a relatively short time. I can confirm that information and will post it. Of less know information, my father believes that the birth mother and birth father were students at either the University of PA or Penn State. It was believed that one or both of the birth parents were of Scottish decent. A name starting with "Mc or Mac" ? My father also believes that it was a football player and cheerleader. We did determine that the Univ of PA has no records of cheerleaders before the 50's. There is a McGraw, a Mcginley and a McMullin on the 1924 team. That is as far as we have gotten on our research.

All Other Information: My father is the adoptee and he passed away in 2002. He was placed with is adoptive parents in 4-?-1930 and legally adopted on 2-29-1932 at the Schuylkill County Courthouse in Pottsville, PA. I would like to find his birth family - I'm sure his birth parents have passed away by now- for genealogy information and medical history information. (Update) I don't know the city my father was born in - just that he was born in Chester County.  His eyes were hazel and his hair was dark brown. I have no idea what color eyes or hair his birth parents had - not mentioned on his adoption paper. His name, Dana Lawrence Delano, is on his adoption paper so I assume it is correct, but who knows.  Don't know where they would have come up with it other than from his parents or family members. He was born on 10-7-1929 but not placed with John and Helen Smith until 4-?-1930. He was baptized on 4-6-1930 - that is how I know he was with them.  He was officially adopted on 2-29-1932 - I have his official adoption decree from that date.

All Other Information: We are not sure if an adoption actually took place. The story told is the birth mother was a cleaning woman for a doctor and she became pregnant and could not keep the child. An add was placed in a newspaper in search of a good home. This where my husband's grandparents come in. They were unable to have children and accepted the child as there own. It was not until Elizabeth passed away did my husban's mother find out she was adopted. We have no papers and very little information. He would very much like to find out about the birth family and medical history. Thanking you for any light you can shed on this. Claude and Betty Gulick lived in Camden Co New Jersey. (Update) Faye Arlene's eye color was a very bright blue and her hair was light brown.  In later years her hair was pure white.

All Other Information: Hello, I am searching for information on my cousin Mary's adoption. My cousin, Mary F. Assenso Breen is now deceased as are her adoptive parents. However, I am the historian for our family records and I would like to put this information with our records if possible. I remember as a child being told that Mary was adopted as an infant, that her birth mother was an unwed mother and possibly Mary was born in St. Vincent's Hospital in Philadelphia for unwed mothers or possibly adopted from St. Vincent's Orphanage in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, I have not been able to confirm this information because all family members who would know it are deceased. Mary F. Breen, maiden name Assenso, died in 10-?-1992. She never knew her biological parents.
(Update) Mary Florence Assenzo's was approximately 5'8" tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair. She passed away on 10-31-1992 at the age of 62. We have no information on her birth mother or birth father at this time.

My mother has passed and I'm pretty sure that her birth parents would have passed as well but I would like to find out anything that I can about them. I would love to find out if they went on to marry and have families. My mother lived a very full and happy life and was the most wonderful mother. She had 4 children and married a man who was in the AF and spent her life traveling the globe on AF assignments. She got breast cancer at 67 and went into remission for 16 years and then it came back and was in her liver and bones. I often wonder if her breast cancer was something that was genetic. (Updte) Birth mother was 20 years old at the time of birth. Nancy Lee Hartigan was 5'4" tall, with blue eyes and brown hair. I have no other info on her birth parents or birth family at this time. (Update) I believe birth father was born in Boston and died in Springfield, MA in ?-?-1974.

My father was adopted six days after he was born. (It became legal, per court decree, on 11-9-1931.) His biological mother had the surname of “Spaulding.” I don’t yet know her first name. She was a young Roman Catholic girl, age 23 years old, unmarried, and worked as a school teacher. Per documents I have, she stood 5’5” tall, and weighed 130 lbs., with brown eyes and brown hair. She had two brothers. At the time of birth, one was an attorney and the younger brother was in law school. Her father was in the newspaper business. She gave birth to my father at the “Veil Hospital for Unwed Mothers” located in West Chester, Pennsylvania. She named my father James Spaulding. Her one major requirement for the adoption was that the couple be Roman Catholic. My grandparents, Lester and Eileen Swicker, adopted my father and named him Richard Kerwin Swicker, and raised him in New Jersey. My father’s biological father had the surname of “Thomas.” He was 32 years old at the time, had blue eyes and reddish brown hair. Couldn’t tell his height, but documents show he weighed 185 lbs. His occupation was listed as “Counselor at Law.” As of this point, this is all I have.

Searching For: More history about what happened to Walter Dilone,
All Other Information: Charlotte Dilone was born in Scranton, PA. Her mother died in childbirth with another child one or two years after my mother was born. Charlotte's father, Walter Dilone, placed her with The Jewish Home For The Friendless where she lived for a few years, I am told, before being adopted by Abraham and Victoria Kline. Dr. Aaron S. Cantor was the head of the home at the time. Charlotte's father disappeared after placing her. She was never able to locate him. At some point the Klines returned Charlotte to the Jewish Home, where she remained until she became pregnant as a teenager. She was then sent to a home for unwed mothers, where she gave birth to a daughter she named Cheryl Lee Garrity. Cheryl was adopted by Samuel and Sarah Sturim. They changed her name to Paula Sturim. Paula died in 9-?-1997 without ever meeting Charlotte, but they were in communication with one another. Charlotte got sent away from the home after she had the baby and, with no where to go, she married a man named Bernie Polakoff, whom she later divorced. She later married William Mattingly and lived in Arlington, VA for about 50 years. I am looking for any information about what happened to Walter Dilone. I am also looking for the name of the home for unwed mothers Charlotte was sent to. I am trying to get a better picture of my mother's life. Charlotte is my mother. Charlotte has passed away, as has Paula, the Klines, and to my knowledge, the Sturims and Paula's birth father. (Update) Charlotte was adopted by Abraham and Victoria Klein 4-?-1940. The adoption papers show Charlotte's father's name as Morris Dillon. The daughter Charlotte placed for adoption, Cheryl Lee Gerrity, was born 10-1-1949 at The Staten Island Hospital. That would have put her in a home for unwed mothers in the possibly 6 months up to the birth. Margaret Gleason died 10-9-1932 at the West Side Hospital. Her father is listed as Jno Gleason.

All Other Information: A friend of the adoptive parents, Dr. Patrick Hennessey (ob/gyn) of Garden City, New York, arranged the adoption. Adoptee grew up in Garden City (Long Island), New York. (Update) Myrle is 5'6" tall, she had and blue / gray eyes and straight brown hair. Blonde at birth, turned brown by 1 year old. Birth mother was 16 years old at the time of her birth. No birth father info was listed. (Update) Dr. Patrick Hennessey, the gynecologist, did not practice in Garden City. His office was in Manhattan, NY. (Update) She was adopted through the Surrogates Court in Nassau County (Long Island), NY. (Update) Birth father's race: Caucasian (white) -- confirmed through DNA Ancestry: Northern European, including approx. 50% from British Isles -- confirmed through DNA. (Update) I am 90%+ sure I found my mother's birth-mother's family using DNA testing. Either the birth mother or the Veil listed the birth-mother's surname as Stuart. It was, in fact, Stunkard. I am continuing to look for Mom's birth-father's family. I know which large Colonial family she belongs to, but not his name -- not yet. I am continuing to pursue DNA testing.

All Other Information: My grandfather, Russell Stewart Mengel, was adopted, we believe, in 1935. We have no facts, but a lot of speculation. We have been told a few stories regarding the adoption. One being that his parents were young and he became a black market adoption. Another that his birth parents had too many children and could not afford another, and put him up for adoption. And another that he was dropped off at Bethany Children's Home is Womelsdorf. My grandfather passed away in 1995, and I never had the chance to meet his adopted parents, as they passed before I was born. This is my paternal grandfather, which means that the last name he was given by his adopted parents, Mengel, is not actually our "birth" last name. We've been able to trace back every other side of my family well into the 1600's, but we don't know anything before 1935 on his side.

All Other Information: The adopted Female is the daughter of my Great Aunt Carmet Lewis, born about ?-?-1903 ? In Lancaster, PA. Died At Age 35..reason unknown. This Aunt apparently had a birth dauhter out of wed-lock as she was never married. The adopted daughter made a posting looking for Lewis & decendent family on Ancestry.com. I found it last month (Jan,'12). She did not leave 'hints'. I wrote to her code name. I am no longer on Ancestry.com. I forgot that she was on there. Her age concerns me because of the long ago birth date, as my Great Aunt was deceased likely by 1940. I'm sorry I should have more info. The family said that she was 'Crazy' & died in an asylum. leading to many questions as to the truth of that. The daughter of Carmeta Lewis said as much & that Carmeta was Frank and Freda Lewis' daughter. That all she wrote. I did write back. no longer on Ancestry. I forgot she was looking. I am Carmeta Lewis' Great Niece. Her sister Edna Mary Lewis McGee was my Grandmother(deceased). Her son Lloyd Richard (Dick / Michael) McGee was my father (deceased). This woman does want to find family...that was the basic statement she made. Ok, found that I have copy of 1920 Census where Carmeta was 10 years old at that time. I'm positive she is on 1930 Census as well-no children listed for her. Date of adoptee born ?-?-1925 to ?-?-1945.

All Other Information: No one speaks of my father's birth father Clyde Gearhart. In the 1940 census it shows 4 year old William Gearhart. My Dad mentioned that he was adopted by his maternal grandparents. I have never seen any documentation of this. I don't know if a legal adoption was ever done or if he just took the Ross name. Every piece of documentation that I have from Social Security Card to military documents all have the name Ross. My Dad has since passed on in 2010. I am trying to solve a family mystery that no one will speak of or claim they have no knowledge of. The man I believe to be his birth father is Clyde William Gearhart. I purchased his death certificate which shows he died in 1966 when I was 2 years old. Any information would be very, very grateful!!

All Other Information: The adoptee is 5'3" tall, with blue eyes, very fair skin and fine, light reddish / auburn hair. She had a slight birthmark near the hairline on one side of her face that faded as she got older. She was able to obtain her original birth certificate (File No. 101789-35 filed on 9-4-1935) and also has her amended birth certificate given to her by her adoptive parents (File No. 101789, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Harrisburg, PA No. 260 amended on 6-23-1936). The birth parents were not married. The original birth certificate says that the birth mother was born in Riegelsville, PA, and that the birth father was born in Trenton NJ. However, the Veil Hospital is known to have falsified some of the information on birth certificates. The birth mother was said to be 20 years old at the time of birth (born in ?-?-1915) and the birth father was 25 years old (born in ?-?-1910). We have not been able to find anyone in census data from those places with the stated names and ages. The adoptee intends to request non identifying information on her birth parents, but we have learned that there is often little available for babies adopted from the Veil. Her adoptive father destroyed all of the adoption papers in his possession in the 1960’s. The adoptee has registered on adoptiondatabase.org. She has not yet done any DNA testing. The adoptive parents lived in Springfield, NJ at the time of the adoption, and moved to Liberty Corner, NJ soon afterwards. The adoptee was told that she was of Scotch-English heritage and that a match was made to the adoptive family based on shared musical abilities. The adoptee played the viola, sang in the choir, and played the organ at her church when she was in high school. She has a wide range of interests and loves swimming, drawing and reading. She enjoys creative writing and has a talent for fashion design and tailoring. Her adoptive grandmother once told her that her birth mother got married several years after the adoption, and that she had contacted the family to try to take her birth daughter back, but the adoptive parents refused. We don’t know if this is really true.

I believe that this person was either born in Smethport, PA or near Schnectady, NY NY state could not provide any record of adoption. Birth mother may have used a pseudo-last name If child born in PA, birth mother may have been living with a family whose surname was Sweeley. She could have also used the surname Kyle. If birth was in NY, birth mother may have used the surname, Magner. Would like to find to share medical history.

Searching For: Medical History, Birth Family.

All Other Information: When adoptive parents died I contacted Fraser Home, and was told that birth mother was from New Jersey. I'm not sure if this is true.They would not give me any other info. Fraser Home address was 529 W. Tabor Rd Olney, Phila. PA  It has been closed. I have several medical conditions that having any medical history would help. State of PA totally uncooperative. (Update) I have no information about birth parents. I assume birth mothers last name was Kubeck, since that was my birth name listed on the finalized adoption order. I discovered that document after my adoptive parents died. They had never given me any information, nor had they told me that I had been adopted. I remembered being taken to the Fraser Home for Girls several times when I was very young, and contacted them and they confirmed that they had been the adoption agency, but would give me no information other than that my mother was from New Jersey. Adoption was finalized on 8-20-1937. Hair and eye color - My hair was very light blond when I was young, but turned to light brown as I grew older. My eyes are blue/green/gray. I did contact  the adoption court and family court in Philadelphia about 1 year ago. They told me no information of any kind could be released as all records are completely locked.  (Update) My birth mother was Vera / Veronica Kubeck. Sometimes she used one name and sometimes the other, which complicated the search.  She was born on 5-29-1913, and died at the age of fifty-six on 1-26-1970. She later married Walter Marlatt, but they never had any children. They lived in Toms River, NJ. Her father was John Kubeck, born in 1886. I'm not sure who her mother was, as some primitive searching I did seems to indicate that he was married twice, and Veronica and her sister Helen may have been from the first wife. I think Veronica was born in Trenton, NJ, but again I'm not sure. The adoption records were very poorly done in 1936 - all written by hand by a caseworker with poor handwriting. At the time of my adoption, she gave her employment as a domestic in Reading, PA, where she said she worked for 9 years. I do not have a name of a family. She was living at the Robert Fraser Home for girls when I was born, and I was adopted through their agency. She gave the name of my biological father as Bernard Rodgers, born aprox 1913, and residing in  Parkersfore, PA.  He was never informed that she was pregnant.  I know nothing else about him.

All Other Information: Searching For Joyce Ann Jones. Her birth mother, Edith Fox could no longer take care of her and at the age of 3 to 4 she was given to the birth father's mother (Mary Susanna Guilinger Jones) to raise. Mary attempted to return Joyce to her birth mother when she was approximately 7 or 8 years of age. Edith refused to take her back. Mary Jones the died a short while later. This is where Joyce Ann Jones was lost. We believe Joyce was possibly given to a friend or relative to raise because Mary Jones (paternal grandmother) had passed away. Mary Susanna Guilinger Jones d.o.b. 8-14-1948. d.o.d. 5-28-1979. Howard William Jones d.o.b. 3-26-1917 d.o.d. 9-16-1963. Other birth children of Edith Irene Fox have been found and they would very much like to find Joyce. She also had a brother Named Terry who was adopted to Clare and Rose Marie Sutton. Joyce Ann was the 3rd child of Edith Fox and 1st for Howard Jones.

She was unmarried.  She was living in New York state at the time, but her family was from Pittston, PA.  Her daughter was adopted from St. Vincent's Orphanage and Hospital (no longer in operation) on 6-6-1940.  Mary Gordon is most likely deceased, but we are interested in identifying any other family members of Mary Gordon. We also believe Mary's father was a coal miner and she had several siblings living in Pittston, PA.  There is also the possibility that Mary attended St. John the Evangelist school in Pittston, PA.

(Update) I am not sure of the age, eye color or hair of the birth mother or birth father. My father has green eyes and brown hair and is currently 5'9" tall.  I want to find out who his birth mother was and any info on her family (i.e. does he have siblings).  It would also be great to have any info on the birth father, but this may be harder to find given he was not listed in the adoption info at the hospital where she left my father after giving birth. Medical history and genealogy is also welcome...anything and everything;)

All Other Information: I believe I may have had a private adoption that was possible finalized in Pittsburgh, PA. My adoptive mother told sister in law she thought I had a twin that was adopted out before I was. I believe my adoptive parents got me about 2-20-1944, because that is when my 1st photo was taken.
(Update) I am 5'3" tall, with brown eyes and brown hair, but salt & pepper now. I have no info on my birth parents or birth family at this time. (Update) Confirmed - Stephany Weaver-McGrath was born Mary Martin. Confirmed - Birth mother was listed as Gwendolyn Hasted-Martin. She was a widow at the time and so gave the twin babies her married name, even though no blood relation to Martin.

Searching For: Adoptee, My Birth Cousin
All Other Information: This is my cousin. Her father was my mother's brother. We have been searching for this family for over 50 years.  Recently found out Robert died and where buried.  We want to contact cousins. I am trying to locate two cousins who were born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Their parents were Robert Lee Lester born 6-20-1921 and Constance Forte - birth date unknown. They are named Betty Ann and Jacqueline (Jackie) and born between the years of ?-?-1945 and ?-?-1949. My uncle disappeared from his family about ?-?-1950 and they remembered at the time that Connie and my uncle Robert were having marital problems. My mother's family has had no contact with them in all these years.  We learned by the SS Index search that Robert died in ?-?-1973 and recently learned that he died in Kern County, California on 10-7-1973. Amazingly my mother now only lives about 25 mins from where he is buried and we are taking her out to visit him this coming Thursday. We have found that on his death certificate that he died alone from natural causes at age 52 and that there was a coroners investigation to locate next of kin. They were unsuccessful but found his military records and he was buried by the VA.  His death certificate lists that he was divorced. My mother wants to locate her nieces and let them know about their father if they don't know and also to let them know how much his family loved him and never gave up looking for him. If you can help me in any way I would surely appreciate it. I live in California and don't know how to search for records in Pennsylvania but would be willing to do the work if I am given the information to do so.  Thank you very much.

All Other Information: My father was adopted and passed away suddenly.  He knew he was adopted but never told his adopted parents. His aunt and uncle later confirmed his adoption. He was adopted as an infant. Supposedly a nurse gave birth to him who had an affair with a doctor. I am not sure if the nurse or doctor worked at Frankford Hospital. His birthdate is listed as 3-17-1947,  I am not sure if this is his actual birth date or the day he was adopted. His middle name was Patrick because he was born on St.
Patricks Day!?!?

It is my intention to fill in this missing gap so that I might know my family roots even though he never was able to. (Update) I did DNA testing and my 1st cousins are Hitchman, Myers and Smartnick from Latrobe and Greensburg PA. My father might have been adopted in Westmoreland County, PA.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History. 

All Other Information: I am searching for my mother’s biological birth parents. My mother passed away 13 years ago from cancer and was never able to complete the journey of finding them herself for medical purposes. I now have medical issues and my family would like to find out not only as my mother’s wish but for our health concerns. thank you for all you do!. I have written a letter to the Orphans court in Williamsport, PA requesting any records of her adoption. They wrote back saying they had no records. I believe this was a private military adoption which put me at a dead end. (Medical Emergency Search)

Searching For: My Maternal Grandparents, Medical History, Genealogy Records.
All Other Information: I am searching for any birth relatives at all on my mother's side. Her name was Sally, and she passed away about 10 years ago. I am mostly interested in medical history and genealogy, considering my brother and I really don't have any family to speak of, and he and I would like to know more for my nieces and nephews sake. My mother was born in Philadelphia 12-10-1949 and adopted through the Children's Aid Society when she was either 6 or 8 years old by Janet Worthington and Ernest Engelhardt of Bloomsburg, PA. She never knew anything about her birth parents (names, etc.) except that the birth mother was apparently very young 15 years old and the birth father was said to be a French sailor. The only thing my mother knew / could remember was something about "nuns". Also, there was some information in her school packet from the Mechanicsburg Girls home that stated that "the young mother was taken in by the nuns and taught hair dressing". The entire adoptive family had died over 20 years ago, so there isn't anyone else to ask. We literally have no maternal relatives (biological or adopted). Both of the adoptive parents taught at Bloomsburg University and lived in a home called Irondale, which is currently a bed and breakfast in Bloomsburg. I hope this is enough information to go on...it's all we have. Thanks so much for the hope.
(Update) Sally was about 5'4” tall with green eyes and dark hair.

Searching For: Birth Parents, Medical History.

All Other Information: My birth mother was registered into the hospital using my adoptive parents’ names. My birth footprints, hospital baby bracelet and birth certificate (the original and only one) all say I was born Brenda Marsha Schneider. My birth mother filled out the birth certificate with my "adoptive" parents' names, but used her own age!  She was 19 and birth father was 21 at my birth, while my "adoptive" parents were 27 and 29!  Perhaps she did that to eventually give me a hint ?!  I am told that my birth mother was Catholic from New Jersey, and spent time in St. Vincent's Home for Unwed Mothers before my "adoptive' mother met her and rented her an apt until my birth. Her father (my birth grandfather) may have been a judge or  politically involved someway.

All Other Information: Looking for half birth sister, private adoption. Adoptive parents were foster parents and adopted her at age ll. I was with family and youth services and was able to get info on mother and obtained my bc before they were sealed. Got above info from courts. Nothing identifying except bc number and initials of my half sister. Mother said there were no siblings but at her funeral aunt said there was. Uncle knew about me and aunt knew about sister. Have been searching for about 15 years but I don't have any info because aunt died and she said she couldn't remember any names. I really want to find you, Your adopted parents were from the North Side in Pittsburgh.
