The following was posted by Paula <lookingforperson@hotmail.com> on Thu, 11 Nov 1999 on the Monterey County GenConnect Query Forum: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surname: Williams, William, Willis, Schneider, Snyder, Snider, Sneider, Schneitcher, Fort Ord Looking for Birth family of Male. Born in Salinas California 1946, birth certificate says March 16, 1946 I dont know if this is anything but these initials J.E.V are on the birth certificate by the registras name. The initials may belong as the registras initials, or the real initials of the child on birth certificate. No other hints or anything. We think the birth father had family in or around Bellflower or Compton or something close, probably LA county. Child was said to be at Grandmothers house and was exchanged in person. There could have been other siblings there or cousins at the grandmothers or family members house. Was also told that birthfathers family may have originally been from Montana and or Billings. Dont know how true this is. Adoptive Mother is very hard to talk to and never found out if this was a state adoption or private adoption. Was told Birth Mother was Russian Jewish and was in the Opera and or a Opera Singer. Her family was supposed to have been from New York. Birth Father was supposed to have been in the Service around that time. Dont know whether he was already out or still in the service. We think it was the Fort Ord base.
