Message Board Post:
I am looking for suggestions from the list to help a friend solve a mystery in his family
regarding stories about missing babies given up/disappeared in the 1950-1960's. My
friend had two women that came into his life when he was older and the family told him
they were his sisters. It was rumored in the family that between them they each had 5 or
6 children born to them but he never saw any of them as he was growing up. They would have
been born in the Washoe Co. or Carson City areas. Since it has not been over 50 years I
am wondering how accessible birth records are and if it would be necessary for a relative
to search them. Also, don't know when the two women died and wonder how hard it would
be to search the obituaries without a date. All I have to go on at this point is the name
of the women.....Cecilia and Beverley WILSON.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John
