This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: VanLinder, Colton, Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IFB.2ACE/1062 Message Board Post: I am searching for my mother's birth brother. He was born Fayette VanLinder in Kalamazoo, MI. Their mother Ida Colton VanLinder and father Clinton VanLinder gave them up for adoption May 8, 1920, in the Jackson County Probate Court. I understand both his first and last name changed at his adoption. He would be 87-88 years old. Fayette's birth sister and my mother, Florence, would like to know any information about him. She has a picture of the two of them at ages 2 and 3.
