Hi David, Do you know when your grandfather was adopted? And if he had a middle name? Have you found him in the 1930 census? If not, I can look him up if you know his adopted parents' names and where they were living then.

Well, I have found him in the census. He has siblings as well... Francis (oldest 1915) Agnes (second oldest 1918) Margret (third oldest 1919) Charlotte (third oldest 1923) This is where it gets confusing because in the 1920 census, Francis and Agnes and Margret are all listed under George Willard, but according to my aunt, my grand fathers, fathers name was george campbell. It is possible that he was the only one adopted because his birth year is also 1923 but not listed under george willard in the 1930 census. But with very little else to go off of on his father George Campbell, I have hit a wall... One thing I do know, is the willards were listed to be from Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana in the 1930 census and from German, Marshall, Indiana in the 1920 census. There are discrepencies that proove to me that he was adopted, but not being able to find his father anywhere, I'm at a road block.
