I am searching for a Rose Carminita/Cominita age 5 who left the
Foundling Home in Dunmore Pa. with her Mother Alice Barrett Cominita
July 1920. Alice's husband Thomas Carminita died Feb 1920 in Brooklyn
NYC, Alice goes back to Pa where shes from Jermyn Pa, and goes to the
St. Joseph Foundling home March 1920 when her 3 yr old John dies a few
days after coming to the Home then six weeks later Helen her 1 yr old
dies. They are buried in the Catherial Cemetery in Pa. My father Thomas
was born May 23, 1920, sickly and not expected to live. Alice finally
leaves July 1920 with Rose the 5 yr old daughter and gives my dad up for
adoption. They stayed with a cousin in Hyde Park Pa. Unk who the cousin
was. This is a sad story and someone out their must know the story. My
Dad died 1985 and we did not know this story of his family. After many
years we were finally able to get my Dads records turned over from the
Foundling Home last year, with the help of our Lawyer. Any thoughts or
help would be wonderful thanks Sandy from NY.
