Bonnie, You are a very lucky lady to have found and met your birth mom!! I'm sorry you lost her for the second time. Finding your birth father may be difficult without a last name. Can I suggest that, you probably already have done this, scour the 1940 census in and around the Million Dollar mile. Then, look at the Census where your mom lived. Look for neighbors, look the name Frank in her family. If there are school records look at classmates. Where Is Borsching from? Do you have a Hall connection? Wish you the best. My Brick WALL is Hassan Alba Buck born Nov 1840 in Medina, Orleans NY. There are two of them. They are both Mine. I have all there is online, civil war, census etc. But No parents for Hassan 1. Oh, he is Blonde, blue eyes and light skin. My best, Jill Jessen Hernandez > On Mar 18, 2016, at 5:16 PM, Bonnie Olscamp via <[email protected]> wrote: > > I found mom and met her in Oct 2013. She was living in Kansas City and passed last June. She was only 13 when she had me at a home for unwed mothers. I did manage to get my birth certificate, but it has the father blank. Mom just could not remember any more. She was in the early stages of dementia. I was lucky to meet her much less anything else. > > Bonnie > > Robert Pieterse <[email protected]> wrote: >> You do not have enough information for anyone to find anything.

I do not know my father's name other than the first might be Frank. The last May have been a Polish sounding name. He was apparently killed in some kind of vehicle accident in the mid 1950s. I am guessing in or around Orleans. Supposedly lived on the "Million Dollar Highway" somewhere. Guessing his mother may have been a Hall or in the Hall family. >>> >>> The librarian at Lee has helped me the best she can, but obviously cannot go through years of newspapers looking for possibilities. >>> >>> Are there any other suggestions?
