Surnames: Kein Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wg.2ADE/1665 Message Board Post: My birth name was David Lewis Kein, and my mother's name as listed on my original certificate of birth was Edith Kein. The certificate also states that she was 28 years old in 1939 (when I was born at Cook County Hospital in Chicago), that she had three children prior to my birth, and that she was born in Carbon Hill, Illinois. I am 64 years old, and both my adoptive parents are deceased. If anyone has any information regarding Edith and/or her other children I would be most anxious to know.
