Really interesting; I have Shepards living in that area in the same general timeframe. Hmmmm. Please inform the List as you get clues. I know of no "rumor" that any of my Dad's siblings or close cousins were adopted, but you never know..... thanks steve shepard from California -----Original Message----- From: nedougla-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nedougla-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 3:30 PM To: NEDOUGLA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NEDOUGLA] Shepard/Hull adoption circa 1938 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

According to the adoption papers I have, her pre-adoption name was Sandra Dee Shepard, born May 12, 1937. The adoptive parents were Edgar A. and Olya Pearl Hull. Sandra's name was changed to Nancy Jane Hull when she was adopted March 12, 1937 through the Nebraska Children's Home Society. Anyone have any ideas where to get the information desired?
