Message Board Post:
Hi,
I am doing a search for my husband's grandmother whom was adopted between 1916 &
1918. She was born 15 Feb 1912 and we believe in Indiana. I have received a list of baby
girls that where born in Indiana on or very near to this date. So what I am trying to do
is see if any of these children may be her. We know she went by Ruth after her adoption,
but we don't know if this was her given name from her biological parents. Ruth passed
away in 1977, her husband passed and so has her adoptive parents and siblings. So there
is NO one to ask for any information. (Her siblings where adopted by her adoptive parents
on the same day and from the same place as was Ruth, their names where Jene and Stella,
and again, we don't know if this is their biological given names.)
The list contained:
ch) Mace, Lewize [sic] fa) Thomas H. mo) Maree Stapperd/Stafford b) Vigo Co., Indiana
That is all the information that is provided. If you should know of any of the three
people mentioned, I sure could use a hand. I am trying to find out if Lewize Mace, lived
with her parents until her adulthood. If not, then I search more, if so, then I know, she
was their child and can leave her alone. Or, even where Thomas and Maree ever married? If
you should need more information, I really don't have none, but I do on Ruth, and
would be happy to share.
I have found a little on them, not what I am looking for and found that there is a:
Thomas Mace s/o Leonard R. Mace and Louise Nees(e) m) Marion Stafford.
Now you may see why mentioned this, because of the variations in spellings. This may not
be the family, for I have not found where Thomas and Marion, have children listed (at
least, not yet).
Any help would be grateful.
Thank You!
Sheila
