On February 20th, 1963 in Portland, Oregon at the Albertina Nursery Home/Adoption Center she gave me the name Teresa Joy Tuttle and I was then given up for adoption. My original birth certificate says she was 17 at that time and was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. I look forward to meeting any family she has/had.

1910-1911 Portland adoption

JDJames89 — 2012-10-09 07:35:49Z

I came across a document yesterday written by Robert Athon Barnes that indicates that he adopted “Verna Aloise Barnes” born 6 May 1910 in Portland and that the records would be available at the Portland courthouse (this document was written in 1918). I know that Robert also married a woman named Effie R. Johnson in Oregon on on 4 Aug 1910. I’m unsure if there’s a biological relationship between Verna and Effie but either way I would really like to learn anything more about them. Can anyone help me out?

According to Richard (via a letter from his eighth or ninth wife, Audrey, there were two Phyllis Annes (in the Stage family it was not unusual for names to repeat; if a child died the name sometimes got recycled). And according to that letter, it was Patty who was killed by the milk truck. So I would be interested in seeing that newspaper article. Thanks.

I'm looking for my half-sister. She was adopted in or abt 1963/64 in Oregon. I don't know much more then that though. I know a couple of things that I will discuss when I believe that I'm close to finding her. The lawyers office, I think, burned down so my mother never how else to get ahold of her. I don't know anything about trying to find adoption records so if someone could point me in the right directions it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you.

My adopted name is Cassandra Marieanne Mobley, but my birth name is Sandra Eve Thorsen. Please help me find my family. I love and miss them so very much. Thank You.

midge1249 — 2011-07-08 22:16:48Z

From the OREGONIAN newspaper of December 10, 1888

In the Oregonian of November 22 was published the transcript of an early assessment roll, evidently made in 1842 or 1843. It was furnished by J. Henry Brown of this city, who receied it from some unknown source.

Dr. Wm. C. McKay of Pendleton, who was born in Astoria in 1821 recognized the names of many of which were grossly misspelled in the original document. He was intimately acquainted with nearly all whose names are mentioned and has furnished the following as a complete and correct list:

dhancock81 — 2011-03-02 23:58:15Z

My Aunt Nina Bell Melton was married to David Otis Cottenware and had 7 children, one died shortly after birth. The remaining 6 were taken into foster care in the late 1950's early 1960's here in Cowlitz County.

The second oldest son Daniel Cottenware - Knight has asked if I could locate his lost siblings and I myself would like to find them as well.

Linda May [Mae] was born 02 Feb 1951,
Sandra was born 21 Oct 1953 and
Arthur was born 16 Oct 1954.

We have found James and Alvin or rather they have found us. If the children are unaware, they are part Indian and French Canadian.

They were all either adopted out of the Longview/Kelso area here in Cowlitz County, Washington or a couple of them might have been adopted through Portland, Oregon.

Arthur Sandra are believed to have been adopted by a family who worked as Missionaries and are rumored to have lived in or around Boring, Oregon.

Daniel and Linda were in a foster home without the younger siblings at one point and Daniel was adopted by the Knight family. They did not adopt Linda because they had a son at home and didn't feel it was the right setting to bring a female into their home, with two boys.

Dan misses his siblings dearly and is hoping we may be able to find them.

I include the surnames of Daniel Cottenware's adopted family Knight and Nina Bell Melton's mother's maiden name was Huls

Re: Looking for birth mother Evelyn Tallmon

RegNMINiles — 2010-04-05 08:47:09Z

I have poked around the Internet in an effort to help you and this is my report.

On Aug. 31, 2001, an anonymous person joined a large date-of-birth registry run by Adoption.com. His registration has a variant spelling of Evelyn’s surname: TALLMAN.

Rootsweb’s version of the Social Security Death Index has two tools that may be of interest to you. For any decedent’s entry on the SSDI you or anyone can post a free annotation, by clicking on “Add Post-em”. The annotation can be a plea for contact with relatives, and should contain a permanent address and/or phone number.

The other tool is the SS-5 letter, which is an application for a copy of the form the decedent filled-out when applying for a social security card. The form should contain the applicant’s father’s name and the mother’s maiden name, etc.

The SSDI has three entries of interest:

Leland O. HOWE, born Nov. 25, 1922, card issued in Colorado, last known residence in Tillamook, OR, died Nov. 1987. The SSDI never gives place of death. Anyone wishing to apply for the death certificate must guess at the state in which death occurred.

Evelyn TALLMAN, born May 15, 1936, issued in NY, residence in Brandon, VT.

Evelyn M. HOWE, born Apr. 17, 1936, issued in VT, residence in Westfield, MA.

The decedents who resided in Westfield and Tillamook are listed as if living: this is at the website known as Veromi.net. Leland’s entry has his age as 87 and lists no relatives.

Ancestry.com has a message board for the surname HOWE. It has 6 hits for Leland. On May 3, 2000 “Linderoest” posted a query in which she says that Leland married Evelyn YOUNG in the early 1950s.

Further research would involve birth and death and marriage certificates, death notices in newspapers, funeral directors, and cemeteries. Sometimes there is a will on file at the courthouse.

Good luck in your research.

I have a friend who was adopted as a baby. He is twelve now. His mother died at his birth and his father, not able to care for him, put him up for adoption. My friend loves his adopted parents, but wants to find his birth father. Does anyone have any suggestions on how he should approach this? Alex has no idea where his father is right now. He asked me to look for him since I have this account. :D

All my friend, Alex, knows is that his mother's name was Bobbie.
His father's name was Roger Appel.

Thomas Turner, Eugene, OR

andrearae13 — 2009-06-29 02:59:19Z

My grandfather Thomas Turner was born July 21, 1926 in Eugene, Oregon. His parents were George H and Musette (Baker) Turner. However, George and Musette were actually his adoptive parents. Little is know about the adoption or the situation surrounding it. The story is that the baby Thomas was left on the doorstep of George and Musette. It was known in their social circle that they wanted, but couldn't have children. The family theory is that a young girl from a prominent family may have been pregnant and this is how the family decided to help the girl and the Turner family.

Any help, suggestions or ideas you might have to help me find my grandfather's birthparents would be great.

Thank you

Re: False birth parent names?

sdeef — 2008-12-06 17:29:50Z

I don't know if this will help or not, but I found two newspaper articles about Edna May Ceresetti.

The first one is about a son she and Joe Ceresetti had on December 28, 1928. This appeared in the Oakland Tribune.
(In looking at the California birth index, it appears he was born in 1927).

The other is about child support between Edna and Joe. It does mention the three children. This article was in the Modesto News, July 31, 1931.

Yep. I know. I have been searching for these people since before my mother died. She so wanted to know if she had family out there somewhere. As far as Jack is concerned, I have it on good authority that since he was born in Italy, his name was "most likely" Giacomo and that Jack is an abbreviation of that name. I have used soundex, and metaphone, but I usually just end up with ten thousand Christian and Christiensens. I did find an Edna Ceresetti with 3 children, no father, no husband. I would love to find the their marriage date. Maybe he's a gypsy?
And I have searched EVERYWHERE for Louise Fail (Faille, Fahl, Fall, Falle, Feil.. etc.) And then usually I find them on the 1930 census somewhere besides Oregon, (or married or dead) and yes, I did find the one in Oregon in 1930, that was my first find after I got the pre-adoption birth record. And that brings up another question... Since my mother was born in Dec 1929, why would Louise still be in the Crittendon home 6 months later? Weird.

Hi, have you seen the Adoption Records in the Oregon State Archives web site? http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/adoption.html

There is info on the web site about how to obtain adoption information. Successful Searching!
