If any of this sounds familiar, PLEASE contact me at laurenlacava@yahoo.com. From my Grandfather's blacked out adoption records we have gathered the following information about his birth families: Maternal: His mother was born in 1918 (possibly January 1918?), she was the eldest of two girls. She attended a junior college for one year, presumably in 1935-1936, and then attended -------- Acadamy, which was not in her home town. She attended this unknown Acadamy Dec and January of 1936/1937. In the adoption records she was listed as "Le", possibly initials of her real name? "Le" had an 11 year old sister during this time, and her name might have been Elizabeth. "Le's" mother was 39 during this time, born in 1987/1989 of Swedish descent. We think she was born in or around Hutchinson, Kansas. She had a twin sister, 2 other siblings (1 brother, 1 sister). She graduated high school and attended business college, and was her husband's secretary before they married. "Le's" father was 40 during this time, born in 1896/1897. In 1937 he owned and operated ------ Motor Co. in their hometown, owned "considerable" real estate and they were "building a beautiful new home". He might have been born in Paris, TX, and his last name may begin with a "G", and end with something like "ary", "ray" or "ry". Paternal: His father was 20 years old during this time, born in 1916/17, and might be named "Jack". His last name is very short, 3 letters, possibly 4 small letters. His parents were very wealthy, had oil holdings and real estate in their home town, which is only 4 or 5 characters long. The town had 2 colleges at the time, one A&M, and the other military. He had 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Enid or Tulsa might be probably home towns.
