My name is Megan and i recently found out i may have an older brother that was given up for adoption at birth. My mother was from Nowata, OK but born in Kermit, TX. I will be happy to share her name with anyone regarding this. I have no other information other than it was a son who may have been born sometime between 66 & 67 and the only reason i am able to guess this is because my mom had to re-do her senior year of high school and ended up graduating in 1968.

Page 11 - Unfortunate children came into their own Sunday afternoon.
Ten fine little children, arranged in a row across the stage of the Part Theatre, proved a magnet that drew hundreds of people into the place and other hundreds unable to get even a glimpse of them. As many went away, probably, as got to see them...

Mrs. Bowman had kept the little fellow two nights when nobody else had claimed him permanently and found that he was such a splendid specimen of the genus, boy, that she couldn't bear seeing him go to somebody else...

NOTE BY CJB: These adoptions were arranged by Rev. Abe Jones who brought the children to Cape Girardeau from a children's home in St. Louis.

adoptee looking for bf. I understand that the NARA is in St. Louis. I don't know the name of my birth father but, He was employed at Luke AFB in phoenix, AZ during 1951. My BM worked there and I have found her. She does not even remember his name but I would still like to find him. She worked there in the cafeteria as civilian employee, along with her mother. My bf also worked there. I have a feeling that he worked in or near the food service. I understand that the NARA in St. Louis is where the civilian employee records are kept. I know this is a long shot but Luke AFB wasn't build until shortly before 1951 and I know the are was a small farming area. There shouldn't have been that many employees approx 21 yrs old employed there.
Does anyone in the area go to the NARA to search records? Would really appreciate a response on this since I will be going to Phoenix in December and I would like to do some scouting now on any leads. If I can get some help on this, I would be so grateful. ---BOB

Looking for Juanita Moore of Missouri

im_evy — 22 Aug 2006 7:37:03 GMT

Hello,
I am searching for the grandmother of a good friend. He needs to know his genetic history. He has been told his father is Cherokee/Romanian. They know very little.

My friend's father's name is Robert Moore, and he was born in 1952 in a very small town in Missouri. He had several siblings, of which he was neither the youngest or oldest. He thinks he was about 8 when they were all given up for adoption. His oldest brother was old enough to go out on his own. He doesn't remember a father so there is a possibility that Moore is Juanita's maiden name. There is also a chance that Juanita was born on Cherokee land.

That's about all we have to go on. Damien just needs to know his ancestry, that's all. He wont bother any family if anyone knows anything, they can just go through me.

I hope something about this is familiar to someone,
thanks,
evy

Looking for twin boys adopted St Louis 1965

mountainbreeze — 18 Jun 2006 1:14:44 GMT

I am looking for my brothers. They were twins given up for adoption "to a friend of the family" in the summer of 1965 just after their first birthday.

I was born in 1966, and also given up for adoption. I have found my birthmother, she won't talk about it. Family members remember the twins but have no idea what happened to them.

The twins, born "summer 1964", were "S. and K. McMillin" BEFORE their adoption. No idea what their names were changed to after adoption.

MO birth index needs a birthdate before they can run a search.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Andrea
