About 1908, a girl named Ernestine Meryl McIver was born. She was the youngest of a large family and was sent to live with friends or relatives by the name of Robert M Taylor and his wife Daisy L. Graves Taylor. About 1930, she left the hometown of Arlington, after the death of Daisy, and moved to Denver The Taylor family and the Graves family has maintained that Ernestine was adopted, the church records showed her name as Taylor, but Ernestine said she wasn't. How do we find out if she was adopted and known as Taylor, or was a foster child with the name McIver? We simply wish to know so as to clear up the discrepancy in our genealogy records and mark her appropriately. BTW, The Taylors are all dead now, and Ernestine died in 1989, leaving no children.
