Both children placed for adoption when their mother died c 1949, maybe 1950.

Hi everyone,
Diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and a tendency to cancer runs in both my
parents' families. We would never had known about the diabetes had it not
been for my getting a copy of my grandfather's death certificate for lineage
purposes.
Since my mother died from kidney failure and congestive heart failure, both
of which can be attributed to the diabetes, I am really getting kind of
persnickety about making sure that my children and grandchildren have
information on the physical genetics from our family tree.
I received this this morning and wanted to pass it along. We all should have
this type of information at hand.

Georganne,
Go to this website for more information on this company: http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/shame/morphcorp.htm
I know Jeff Scism who operates the Black Sheep organization. He is a respected genealogist and operator of one of the Indiana Gen Web sites.
It would appear that this is just one more SCAM.

Have any of you heard of this or received this letter? I wonder who is publishing it and what info they have. I saw a similar book at Bill's mom's purchased awhile back and it did not contain very much that I could see. Let me know what you think and know. Hope you can read the attachment.

Folks, sometimes you have to keep right at it until you find the final

PSSSSST!! Don't tell anybody.................I got LUCKY! Actually I tired of looking through those stupid, uninformative and very frustrating court order books and decided to wander forward (and in what I thought was a different direction), a few years and see if I could find what happened to Adam's land in Montgomery Co. since there was no clear record of a sale or transfer of the land after Adam & Isaac migrated to Kentucky. I had assumed that Adam's son Robert had "absorbed" the land and then sold it as part of his own land to Gore in 1817.
The major find in this deed is that it clearly shows for the first time on record that the mysterious Rebecca Clendenen Coe is actually another daughter of Adam & Winifred and also for the first time documents that Robert & Martha (Anderson) Clendenen did in fact have a daughter Nancy Clendenen m. Philip Ballard. Up until now the only record I had for this daughter was an unverified family record.
Also apparent is that whoever provided the information for this deed missed the fact that Rebecca Coe had died in 1821, Amanda Clendenen had married James Russell (prob. 1837/38) and four of the children of Robert Clendenen had migrated to Missouri in 1839/40. They didn't seem to be very up to date on this record.
