I looked at all of your evidence and I agree with you. Thanks for saving me time that
would be wasted on pursuing information on that couple. I am trying to find information
on my "real" great grandmother, Ettie Frank. She gave my grandmother up for
adoption in 1883. All I have is an adoption "petition" and an "answer and
consent" from Mercer County Ohio to go by. All it tells me is that "Ettie
Frank" is the birth mother, "Laura May ___" is the child and Arthur &
Anna Bigham were in possession of the child and were granted the adoption. I cannot find
a birth record anywhere. The Bighams traveled prior to the adoption, so the baby could
have been born in any state really. Curiously, they settled in Indiana after the
adoption.
