Message Board Post:
Complex situation - my mother was adopted by the Mason's around 1946-47 when she was
in 2nd grade. My grandmother was unable to have children, thus the adoption through a
lawyer. When my mother arrived, there were no other children and had never been told of
any prior to her. Have asked a few living relatives but they were completely unaware as
well. I have a call into the schools hoping old records arent sealed. This child might
have attended school. I have considered it might be a niece/nephew they were just caring
for at the time but if so, she shouldn't have been listed as a daughter but rather as
"other." Obviously the big problem is since it is a girl, she easily could have
different last name. I will check marriage records. I also might need to check
neighboring counties. But still looking for any other suggestions. Thanks for your
input!
