Isadore Urso
My father was Isadore Urso and was born in NY City (as far as I know) on March 21,1908. He was taken to the NY Foundling Hospital on April 3, 1908 by a woman who gave her name as Mrs. Parker. She claimed he had been abandoned by his mother. My father rode the Orphan Train to ND in 1912 and was "indentured" to Michael and Mary (Mayme) Costello, who changed his name to Jay C. Costello and raised him as their own child. The New York Foundling Hospital tells me they were unable to obtain a birth certificate because his mother's name was not known. This is the extent of my knowledge of my father's life/ancestry prior to coming to ND. Would appreciate any information anyone can give me.
