Hi, I am the biological great grand-daughter of (Janet) Taylor Caldwell. I was adopted,
but my Father told me about Taylor when I was about 18 after discovering Taylor's
obituary in my file. Apparently she made 2 personal phone calls to my Father attempting to
persuade him not to adopt me because she wanted to keep me in the family. My Mother was a
young unwed mother and my natural Father said it was either me or him. My adopted Father
said they got married sometime after that and had a few more children. Very intrigued by
the knowledge that I have biological siblings out there and that I would be the oldest,
rather than the only girl and the baby in my family. I have since been trying to find more
out about my biological family tree. It's unfortunate that I discovered my tie to
Taylor upon her death, for what I've read about her helps me understand a little more
about my strong, yet colorful personality. I would have liked to have met her. Anyway, any
information on the fam!
ily tree would be much appreciated. I feel like I am supposed to meet my Mother in this
lifetime, I have been told she loved me very much and with the amazing bond I have with my
own daughter's (3), I am certain those strong matriarchial ties would be very similar.
Thank you,
Carrie
