Hi Marilynn Just going thru my email and some of the family showed up. My mother was adopted by the older sister of the Finkerbinder ( Albert, Nora and Frank ) Her name was Irene, She was married to Elmer Smith. They adopted my mother in or around 1911 or 12. Was told they were homesteading around Drummons OK. My mother was part Cherokee, or I was told that. Her mother was Mable Thomas and father was Albert Cody. Both parents died soon after the birth of a brother. Who was Delburt Eugene Cody. Mother name was changed when she was adopted, could have been Burnice or Blanch. Mom said she was born in Lahoma, OK. If you or any one else has any information on it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,Rich Green RHG2MPS@aol.com
