Good morning listers! I am going to present you with an interesting (to me) problem and hope to hear from someone on the list. My grandfather, Julius Foster, is listed on the 1920 NJ census with his wife and those adult children who were living at home. Included in this family is Charlotte Van Note, Julius' sister-in-law and according to the information on the census: Carrie Druman, ADOPTED, age 14 at last birthday, birth parents were German born, spoke German. The last name is difficult to read but I believe the first three letters are correct. Who is this girl? I have checked the following adoption records in the Ocean County Court House at Toms River. Index to Surrogate' s Dockets A-D 1850 to Mar. 31, 1955. Minutes of Orphans Courts No. 12 thru 15. Inventories for Guardians #1 Ocean Co., NJ The secretary of the Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church found no mention of her in church records. I have access to family letters that are in my cousin's house in Bay Head, there is no mention of her in the letters. Julius Foster's will written 28 Feb. 1925 does not mention her. Any information about Carrie is greatly appreciated! Thank you! Miriam Foster Hayes mfh9@unidial.com
