My mother, her sister and brother were placed in an orphanage around 1930 after their mother died. I am trying to locate any of their records. All three were adopted about 2 years later by Walter and Marjorie Horne. In letters we found after my mom died, she wrote that it was a Quaker orphanage in Oakland, California.

Names:

Wilbertha Coleman changed to Bonnie Patricia Horne
Maria Coleman changes to Jeanne Horne
Phillip Coleman changed to Donald Horne

If anyone could direct me to possible information source, I would appreciate it very much!
