I'm trying to locate information and family connection to the Joseph Family Connected to the Nez Perce Indian tribe. I'm trying to help a friend find her Natural family as her mother was adopted as a child. Her mother's name is: Vickie Jeanie Joseph, Aka: Jean Helen Joseph, Aka: Jean Emily Avolio, born 15 June 1943 Her Natural Parents were: Father: Victor Joseph he was age 21 at the time of adoption his occupation was a Logger. Mother: Helen Bertha (Hamilton) Joseph she was 18 at the time of adoption which took place in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon in 1943 Her Adopted parents were: Father: James W. Avolio born 15 Sept. 1904 died 24 March 1990 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon. Mother: Lois B. ( Cooper) Avolio born 02 Dec.1907 in Dallas, Oregon. died 02 Jan 1997 in Portland, Multnomah, Oregon. Not much to go on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brenda Rainey Grand Blanc, Genesee county, Michigan
