She was born in 1908. For years we have tried to find any records on her life. She remembers having a younger brother, Walter when she was placed in the home. She also remembers the train ride to Tarrytown but the rest is very vague. The only official document we have is from the Institute of Mercy, 1075 Madison Ave in NYC dated 11/16/1928 stating that she was baptized at the Institute in NYC on 6/16/1916..... any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
