My mother was born in Winooski, Vermont - January 9, 1918. Her mother's maiden name was Caron - father Delorge. Her mother was French Canadian. She also thinks there is indian heritage in her background.
My mother was the youngest of either 5 or 6 siblings - Frank, Bill, Fred, Cora, Marjorie - my mother - 1918. When my mother was born her parents were both ill - her mother had breast cancer. Her mother's sister, Clara, moved away with my mother and brought her up from age 3 months. She never told my mother about her biological family until one day my mother came home from school to find her 'mother' (Aunt) sitting with a letter and crying. She then told my mother that her biological mother had just died.
My mother doesn't know the first name of either her mother or father. She met all but one of her siblings in the 1950's and 1960's. I think all but my mother are now deceased.
I know these posts are several years old and don't know if anyone is still looking at this, but I would love to find out anything about our background that might be available.
Thanks to all.
