    1. [DC] Kevin Andrew Irish, Shelby and Rutherford Counties Tenn, Adopted.
    2. I M P O R T A N T Hello Fellow, diggers, shovelers and swimmers. While this is not a direct Genealogy query, it is Genealogy and we need help. I have a cousin in Memphis Tennessee, who has an adopted son, now in his 30s, and is trying to locate people in his life, from the orphanage to date. He was placed in an orphanage in Memphis Tennessee in the 60s, and was adopted by an Airforce Man from Sewart Airforce Base, Smyrna Tennessee, they lived in Murfreesboro Tennessee. Their names were David Leroy Irish and wife June Mary Irish. When they adopted Kevin Andrew or Andrew Kevin, they already had another adopted child named Debra Louise, they were from California, San Francisco area. Shortly after adopting Kevin Andrew, they had marital problems and seperated, the department of Human Services, knew of this and since the adoption was not final it was annulled, and Kevin returned to the orphanage in Memphis, where my cousin and his wife saw him and they adopted him. They have been very open with him about his adoption and has grown into a successful young man, but has always wondered about people in his past life, but with adoption records closed could not get the information. Some few years back Tennessee opened these records and he received his. Enclosed in with his records was a letter from his first adoptive mother, about how heart breaking it was to give him up. Because of this letter he wants to contact his first Adoptive Mother, through the records he has been able to locate his Biological parents, in Memphis. He has also found out through records that they were divorced in Sacramento Calif., 1969, through Airfare records David Leroy Irish died and was buried in California in 1995. He has been unable to find his first Adoptive Mother, apparently she has remarried, as has their Adopted Daughter Debra Louise Irish, apparently married changing their last names. Kevin is very interested in locating these people if at all possible and is leaving no stone unturned in so doing. Anyone reading this and should they know anything of these people he would really appreciate it. He is not on line but any information I would see that he gets it. Ira [email protected]
