I have an ancestor, born in 1905, who was adopted by my great-great grandparents. For sure he was not their biological child, but he had their surname. The family rumor was that his mother was another family member, although not one of their biological children. More likely a sister of one of my great-grandparents. Is it likely that I could find information about his adoption, and where would I find it? Does anyone think it might appear on his birth certificate, when it was amended? Suggestions, anyone?
