My grandmother and her brothers were all adopted when their mother died in Alliance, Ohio in 1897. Her oldest brother, Harry Humphrey and his wife, Golda (Goldie) I found in the Akron City Directory in 1930. It stated he worked in the rubber company. Is there anyone out there that could help me find out more about this couple ? He was born with the name of Harry Dumphry and in the 1920 census he still has this name , sometime after this he changed his name. He and Goldie had two children, William and Ida. Any help or advice would be greatly apprectiated. I am pretty much at a brickwall where this side of my family is concerned. I am trying to find an obit or death date for him so I could find a death certificate so I could find out his parents. On my grandmother's death certificate listed parents as unknown. She wasn't quite two when she was adopted. Her brother, Harry was 8 years old, so I am hopefull he would have known his pare! nts names. Thanks so much. Debbie
