THANK YOU so very much for all the information. This is just amazing....... You are wonderful..... I have been hitting one brick wall after another in my search for the truth..... My mother was Anna Barbier (DOB: 12-29-1907). After Annie (Kerrigan) and John Francois died (1910- or 1911) the children were placed in an orphanage (still trying to find out where that could be). Anna was removed from the orphanage and placed with Julienne and Frank deConinck (if I can find the orphanage, maybe I can find out who took her and placed her with them). Henri went to CA. when he returned for my mother, the deConinck's had gone to Europe. They changed my mother's name and continued to move around for the next 60 + years, and I believe they knew her real family was looking for her. Since Annie died in 1910 or 1911, and there was no Henri at Chadwick St. he must have left the family and already gone to CA. This is new information......and extremely helpful. Thank you. My grandfather (Henri) searched for my mother until his death, then her brothers and sister took over......by the time my mother found out about her real name, only her sister was alive. But no one was able to piece the whole story together. My mother died in 1989 and I have been trying to find some answers. Thank you everyone for your help. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this! Valerie Valerie: I found Annie and children in 1910 at 15 Chadwick Street, but no Henri... here is the info: Barbier, Annie A.

Which one was your mother? And what was she told about her being raised by another family? By the way - Chadwick Street was located near Yarmouth Street, where Copley Place now stands. It is about 1/2 mile from 1290 Washington. The only thing I can think of is whether or not Henri worked with Frank in the cigar business.

Hi Valerie There is a New England Home for Little Wanderers on Huntington Ave. in Boston. It has been there since I believe the mid 1800's. Maybe you could try there for information on your mother. Hope this helps.
