She was born Dec of 1920, Mary Margaret Goodrich. I found her Mother and Father in the 1920 census (Bertha & Matthew) and all her brothers. In the 1930 census, there is no trace of Bertha or Matthew, and the children that I could find are scattered, some to relatives, some, like my mom, to orphanages in Albany NY. The trail stops there. Does anyone have ANY ideas on where I could go next for information? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
