Hello,
I'm trying to find out more information about my great-grandmother's family. Her name was Eleanor(McCormick)McMahon. I know that she and her sister Mabel were orphaned sometime around 1900 - 1910. They were sent to the New York Foundlings. The story is though that their names were changed after their father left and their mother died. However, they weren't even sure what their real legal names were. Both were eventually adopted by extended family members, but for some reason relatives were tight lipped about their real parents.

The New York Foundlings are still around, but have not been helpful at all w/ information. Can anyone help point me in another direction to obtain adoption records?

Is there anyone out there who has info on my great-grandmother or her sister? Both were born and raised in Brooklyn, NY.

Mabel(McCormick)Perkins was also a actress/dancer who went under the stage name Zane Gray. She died sometime around 1930.
