I will search further. My AM told me my BM name was EDNA and EVANS was a family name. My BM parents died when she was young. Non ID info said her mother died when she was 5 and her dad died when she was 11. She went to live with her maternal grandmother after her mother died. AM said somewhere in Ohio near a big city (did not remember which one). I was thinking that Evans my have been her grandmothers last name??? My BM was of Irish and Cherokee Indian decent according to Non- ID info. Non-ID info said she had dark wavy hair, hazel eyes with very long eyelashes and darker complection. AM told me my BM had a very good posture. BM did not like sports much but did like to read and sew. Only had a 7th or 8th grade education. The reason I thought the above woman could be my BM: She loved to read and sew. She was a beautician. Again, thanks for your interest and help.
