      <title>Looking for James Sheperd</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/945/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am adopted and have met my biological mother, Babette Polson, or Babette Sheperd, and is currently Babette Hatfield. My birth certificate shows a "James Sheperd" as the father and he would have been 25 in 1968, so I believe that would make him approximately 64 years old.  I was born on October 31, 1968, but the records show that he did not know of her pregnancy.  I was adopted through Catholic Charities in Oklahoma City.  The records also show that his father died in a car crash and he had one sister, but that is the only information I have.  If anyone has any information regarding this person or knows Babette, please let me know as she told me she just made up the name.  I searched the Oklahoma marriage records but could not find any for this marriage.  I also have a half brother that she kept named Carey Sheperd so I don't believe she is being honest with me.  </description>

      <title>trying to find two sisters, Shirley Mae Christie &amp;amp;Veronica Jean Christie,adopted from an orphanage in Bristow, Creek Co,Oklahoma</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/970/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Alice M Darden Christie(1918-early 1980'sfrom Henryetta area in Okmulgee county, Oklahoma married young to Elton Christie. He left the family and Alice put their three girls in an Orphanage in Bristow, OK, Creek county.The girls names were Shirley Mae Christie, Veronica Jean Christie and Dorothy Marie Christie.This would have been in the 1940's or early 50's I think. When Alice went back to get the girls they had been adopted out without her permission and she was unable to find out any information as to their where abouts. The younger girl Dorothy had an eye problem so they hadn't been able to adopt her out. Alice took her home but Dorothy died young. Alice grieved over losing her girls and wished she could let them know she loved them. There are two aunts still living and they would very much like to let these girls or at least their descendents know that their mother loved them.&lt;br&gt;Joyce Farley&lt;br&gt;email: &lt;a href="mailto://jbjafarley@cox.net"&gt;jbjafarley@cox.net&lt;/a&gt; </description>

      <description>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 &amp;amp; 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. </description>

Family members in the Tulsa area are hoping to find Charles/Harvey.  Charle's adopted name is Harvey Strauwn...after his adoptive father.  Charles was born Aug 14,1944 in Riverside California to James Edgar (Buddy,Jim) and Mary(Coker)Branson.  He was 19 months old when he was adopted.  Thank you for any help.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Linda </description>

      <title>Oklahoma Orphanage early 1900's</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/934/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I have a Grandfather Daniel Earl Smith that was placed in an orphanage at a young age after his parents passed away he was a young child. I do not know how old he was maybe three or so. He was born in 1891 in Ft. Gibson oklahoma. That orphanage burned down as the children watched then he was placed with some kin folk so the story goes. When he was nine he ran away and never looked back.&lt;br&gt;I wonder if any one knows what the orphanage might have been named and it's location or how I may find out.&lt;br&gt;Thank you in much appreciation!&lt;br&gt;Pam</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/942/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I need help trying to find some info. on Guy Lynn Towler(birth name), born we think, 11-4-51, although that date could be off a little, but pretty sure the yr. is right. The birth parents names were Hazel Marie Boyd, and Cleburn Spence Towler. Guy was born in Ok., not sure of the city. Cleburn and Hazel lived in OK, and CA, no other states that we're aware of. Hoping we could atleast find out about Hazel, if she's still living etc, so we could ask her about it. Cleburn has passed on. Hazel had a mother named Adele or Adelle, and Adelle had a brother named Billy Boyd, and as far as we know lived in the Pontotoc county of Ok, and maybe Merced CA. Can anyone assist us with finding them and or the names of Hazels' family so maybe I can use that info. to track down relatives?</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/70/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am looking for the family of Geer and Leona Billy.  They lived on land in Mississippi that was granted to them by the government.  Due to issues beyond my control (my mother) Until recently I was unable to find my Choctaw roots.  I am particularly interested in Laverne, Daniel, Richard, Margaret, Marilyn and Sara Jo Billy.  I know that I have a half brother and sister ( Allen Lee and Connie Diane Billy) Laverne was my father.  My parents did not marry.  I don't think anyone even knows of my existance.  My mom met and lived with Laverne in 1976 in Dallas Texas.  Thanks for any info.&lt;br&gt;Cathy</description>

      <description>My family is seeking information about our family of origin following my father's 1936 adoption. We have obtained non-identifying information about my father's birthparents that we hope will help us to learn more about his biological family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My father was born on November 9, 1936 at Cedars Maternity Home in Dallas, Texas. The baby was given to the Texas Children's Home Finding Society in San Antonio soon after. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His birthmother was 32 years old, married and from a prominent family in Oklahoma. She was born in 1904 in Kentucky, was 5 feet, 2 inches and weighed 121 pounds. She had a college education and was employed as an accountant. She had two sisters (one living in Oklahoma City and another living in New York City) and two brothers (both living in Oklahoma. Her father was a retired ranchman.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His birthfather was also 32 years old, living in Oklahoma City and 5'11" tall. He was employed as an automobile salesman. He had at least one sister who held a high-profile position in state politics.      &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are seeking any information about one or both of his birthparents. My father is now 70 years old and is only looking to learn more about his biological history. If you know anything, please respond to this posting or through ancestry.com. &lt;br&gt;</description>

He was born in feb 1951 in capital hill hospital, okc, oklahoma to frank and evelyn or elaine bradley, but was given up for adoption by his maternal grandfather, william ellis johnson, to bessie messic.  william johnson raised his oldest sister, shirley (last known married name-little, last known location las vegas) in the okc area, and gave his younger sister, mary jane rhoden, to helen rhoden.  the girls were born between 1946-49 in the same hospital.  we believe william died in luther oklahoma in the spring between 1972-74.  we are looking for shirley, whose son was named russell little jr. and born in the late 60s or early 70s, probably in the okc area, also.  she had at least 2 more children but we don't know their names.  we believe shirley is looking for ted, too.  we are also trying to find out about william and his dgt, evelyn/elaine, and their ancestry.  could anyone please help?  becky  </description>

      <title>Looking for Birth Mother</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/922/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I was born in Pecos, Texas, March 21, 1947.   I have been told my Birth Mother was from Oklahoma, and may have returned after my birth.   Her name was Juanita May Scott, Father - Walter Scott, Mother - Mary Scott, several Sisters, and a brother were all in Porterville, Texas, and it became a ghost town soon afterwards.   She was born on Feb 6, 1931, and I was told she was a student at the time of my birth.   It is also possible that her Father was with an oil company, but uncertain of that.  I was left at the Hospital evidently, for adoption.&lt;br&gt;   My Adoptive Mother worked at the Pecos Court House, and Grandmother was a Nurse, so the Birth Certificate shows my Adoptive Parents, and me as legitimate.&lt;br&gt;   They say that when you find your Birth Family, it alters their lives.  That may be true, but mine was also altered, and I was given away, so I have a void, I need to fill.   I would like to know who they are, would like to have my medical information.    I would love to meet them, but understand that they may not want me.   If that was the case, fine, I don't want anything else.  I have my own family and life.  I just believe that I have a right to know.</description>

      <title>Bm ISO daughter born 4-25-83, Tulsa OK, name could be Sarah Colleen, or  Babygirl Dearing,</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/544/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am the birth Mother whom is seeking my birth daughter. I had given her of for adoption at birth. She was born 4-25-83 between 1am, and 3am. I say between due to soley the fact I had a c-section and I was only able to see her once, and the events surrounding her birth are very little. What I do have is she is a child whom is Biracial. Her birth father is black, and I her BM am white. She was 10lbs, onces unknow. I got to see you  for a breif moment before you were taken away. You had black hair, and beautiful brown eyes. There's not a moment that goes by that I don't see your little face. If I could only put into a photo the picture of you every time I close my eyes, I would do it in a heartbeat. I havent forgotten about you. Theres not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. You are loved very much, and have lots of family that would love to meet you. You were born in Oklahoma, at OKLAHOMA OSTEOPATHIC HOSPITAL, this was a private adoption through a attorney, by the name of Donavon. I called you Sarah Colleen, I'm not sure if you got to keep the name or not. It's possiable that you were named Babygirl Dearing on the adoption paperwork. If this sounds like you,  Please email me at &lt;a href="mailto://SEARCHINGFORU42583@INSIGHTBB.COM"&gt;SEARCHINGFORU42583@INSIGHTBB.COM&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Free county court data online. Search by BIRTHDATES or NAME</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/924/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>For those of you are may not know, most of the 77 counties in Oklahoma have county court records online and are  searchable by full or partial surname.  At the first link below (OSCN.net/) you can search not only by names but by date of birth, driver's license number, social security number, ticket number, or by the FILING date of the case. (A FILING date is when a case is first presented to the Court Clerk and a case number is assigned.  The case is then officially opened at the courthouse.)  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/casesearch.asp" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/casesearch.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;COUNTY COURT ONLY:  Neither of these two websites relate to MUNICIPAL (city) records, but only COUNTY COURT data such as marriages, divorces, traffic court, misdemeanor court, felony court, civil cases, small claims, beverage licenses, protective orders, and limited viewing of probate matters.  You will NOT find juvenile or guardianship cases online at either of these two websites.  (Federal cases are on another website)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This second database is ODCR.com/ and while it has more counties, it does not give as much information as OSCN.net/ and is searchable by fewer options.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.odcr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.odcr.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IMPORTANT:  Read the "help" links to learn how best to search these sites.  The help section will explain which wild card symbol to use when searching for a first or last name whose spelling you are uncertain.  Also be aware that names may be misspelled by the court clerk or they may have incorrect or hard-to-read info from which they are inputting to the website. Be creative when searching by name...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The sites are updated daily and some counties have marriage or other records going back prior to statehood (1907).  Other counties only have data from a year or two ago.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would think OSCN.net/ might be valuable when looking for someone by BIRTHDATE and who might be living in one of the few counties listed. Several posts on this message board seek info by birthdate only.  What are the chances, I wonder, of finding a birth mother or child by birthdate only via OSCN.net?  I sincerely hope my post helps someone and would appreciate hearing of someone's success.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NOTE:  If a person gets a traffic ticket or a criminal charge (misdemeanor or felony), you can SOMETIMES access their birthdate, address, telephone number, alias names used, height, weight and occupation by clicking on their name listed at the top of their case.  For example, where it says "State of Oklahoma v. Susy Creamcheese,"  click on Susy's name to see what personal data may be listed.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TIPS:  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.  If you get too many hits when on OSCN.net/, try narrowing it to specific county via the drop down menu.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.  I find that putting in as little information as possible will get better results.  For example, just type in first and last name rather than fill out all the blanks on OSCN.net/.  Or just type in a driver's license number.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.  On ODCR.com/ any new data may take days or weeks before being uploaded.  Go figure!  You might hear about a case on the evening news and want to follow it online.  New entries to someone's pending case are called "minutes" and it sometimes takes days before new MINUTES are uploaded by the court clerk.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4.  Having trouble with either database?  Read the HELP section again. It might clue you in on making an effective search.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;5.  Want a copy of a court file or don't understand what something means in a case?  Try calling or writing the extremely busy court clerks. Expect to pay copying, handling and postage fees if getting a complete or partial copy of a court file.  Talked with a grouchy rude court clerk who is inclined to disregard your requests?  Be polite but firm:  this is all public record.  Still intimidated?  Contact a process server, bail bonds agent or a friendly support staff employee at a law office and ask their advice on getting a copy of a file.  They will know the "ropes" and may give you a name of someone who might help you.  Or you could pay the big bucks and hire a detective.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;----------------&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All this is a matter of public record.  After a car accident, how do you think people get your name/address to solicit your business?  From an accident report filed with the city court clerk.  Free to the public.  Did a cousin or sister get arrested for DUI or for driving with no insurance?  Their arrest report is available (not online) at the city or county court clerk's office. Again, this is public record.  Accident and arrest records give dates of birth, addresses, telephone numbers, employer's names, "next of kin" or other family members' information.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;IN PRISON OR ON PROBATION?  A link to a database I hope you don't find your relatives on is the Oklahoma Department of Corrections:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://docapp8.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=395&amp;amp;_dad=portal30&amp;amp;_schema=PORTAL30" target="_blank"&gt;http://docapp8.doc.state.ok.us/servlet/page?_pageid=395&amp;amp;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There you can search by name, tattoo, aliases, etc.  Photographs are shown of recent inmates.  Individuals who HAVE NOT been incarcerated also appear on this website if they were placed on probation.  With photographs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Scary, huh.  Tell your kids to behave else they will show up online. New employers, mortgage companies, health care providers and reporters regularly search these databases to see a person's reputation or their potential liability.&lt;br&gt;Getting your record expunged and OFFline is costly, time consuming and not always possible.  An arrest record never really goes away.  The FBI, ATF, and other law enforcement always keep arrest records.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Merry Christmas!  I wish you success in your search,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Norton</description>

      <description>I am a biological mother looking for my daughter. I was in the Salvation Army Unwed Mother's Home in Tulsa, OKLA. in 1965.

      <title>Looking for birth family information</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/547/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am an adoptee looking for birthfamily (father, siblings) information.  My birth mother's name was Helen Fredricks and I believe she lived in the Catoosa, OK area during the time that I was conceived in 1958.  She was divorced, about 26/27 years old and already had a young daughter, about 5 or 6 years old.  May have been working as a waitress.  Her previous husband name was Autus Fredricks - they divorced in 1957.  I was born on January 20, 1959 in Port Townsend, WA.&lt;br&gt;If anyone remembers Helen or can provide any information I would appreciate it so much.</description>

      <title>Looking for birthfather/family</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.adoption.usa.adoptok/522/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am a female adoptee looking for birth family on my fathers side.  I do not have a name for my birthfather, but I have been told that my birthmother was living in the Catoosa area of Oklahoma when she got pregnant.  This was in the timeframe of 1958.  Her name was Helen Frederick, she worked as a waitress, and had a daughter who would have been about 5 or 6 years old named Carolyn Lee Frederick.  Supposedly my birth father was a private pilot who lived in Oklahoma and he was already married to someone else. Helen relocated to Port Townsend, WA to stay with her sister and to give birth to me.  I was born on 1-20-1959 and given up for adoption at birth.  My adopted parents named me "Carolyn" - what a coincidence to have the same name as my older sister!  I am looking for my birthfather's name and any other family.  If any of this sounds familiar please contact me.  Also would like to know if there is any way to trace a  pilot in Oklahoma?  Thanks</description>

      <description>We are not sure any info we have is correct for this child's birth mother gives us conflicting information. Supposely his name is Jeffery Todd Jones born in Oklahoma 11/15/1974. We do think his name is Jeffery Todd but doubt the Jones name. We believe he was born in Elk City, Ok. May be married to a girl named Mellisa and has 3 children, dau. Kenzie born 6/1994, son, Shannon Lee born 4/11/1995 and dau. Brianna born 1/1999, all in Oklahoma, perhaps in the town of Chickasha. My husband's son who is the father of this young man was given a picture before his death with the name Jeffery Todd, age 19, Senior 1992 written on the back. The picture was taken at Jones Photographics in Woodward, Ok. Only want him to know we are anxious to meet him but its up to him.. we will abide by his wishes.&lt;br&gt;Thanks for any info.&lt;br&gt;Jeanette and Bill Newingham</description>
