Searching for the family of birth mother of 85 yr. old adoptee. The name on adoption papers is Jane Anna Filippine. Adoption was in Utah, baby born abt 29 July 1919. I found an "Anna Filipini" in Fresno, CA. in 1820, age 21, b. in NV.
The 1900 census has a family with a 2yr. old dtr., Angelina.
Angelina's b-day was Apr. 1898. 1920 census was taken in Jan. 1920 and asked for age at last b-day - 21 in Apr. 1919, ie born in 1898. The family in NV were Angelo, wife Josephine and sons Martin, Edward, Daniel, Joseph and an unnamed baby boy. He was Henry Angelo. They were missed in the 1910 census altho they still lived in NV. All the boys registered for the draft living in Elko or Battle Mtn. They named Angelo as nearest relative, so he was still alive and in Elko in 1918. Nothing found in 1920 census for any of them, but they were all ranchers, and if you can imagine living on a ranch in the Elko, NV area 100 yrs ago, you can understand why the poor underpaid census taker never located their ranch or caught them home! My friend is so estatic that I'm getting so close, but I'd love to find a living descendant of this family to put her in touch with.
