I came across a Vera M. Nelson b 1901 in Royal Oak, MI. Orphaned young and adopted by the Backers; father PETER BACKER mother MARGARET SORENSON. This was in a Michigan Vital Records 1800-1917 match pulled up on Ancestry.com when I was looking for my grandmother. I was looking at Vera M. Nelson as a possibility since info she gave on a social security application is not panning out.
