Linda, There is a great website for looking through cemetaries for ancestors that includes Rutherford County and Polk County. I am not suggesting that your birth mother is in the cemetary, but you will get clues as to the sir name. Also have you posted a message on your biological sir name on the ancestors.com "Hammond" page? If you need help getting to these sites, just email me back and I will give you the websites addresses. See Ya Later, Linda -----Original Message----- From: Linda Melton Glenn <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, October 05, 2000 12:38 AM Subject: [NCPOLK] working n dexter l. melton family tree >Posted on: Polk County, NC Query Forum >Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Polk/151 > >Surname: Dexter Lee Melton >------------------------- > >looking for birth family...just found out I am adopted, my adoption papers >are in Polk County..I am working on my adoptive parents family tree and >would to include my birth family. > >I was sent to live with the melton's about 1953 and adopted in 1955 .....was >told my birth mother was looking for me in 1981...I believe she and birth >family are living in or around Polk County...could be Spartenburg county...Dexter >had a first cousin living in startex...last name Hammond/ Hammonds... > > > > >==== NCPOLK Mailing List ==== > > > >============================== >Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the >No. 1 Source for Family History Online.
