I need help. Where is the best place to locate information requarding when a child is taken from a home. This happened in Memphis TN to my ancestor Eddie Lee TODD (DALEY is her fathers surname) TODD is her mother's surname. Her mother 's Rosa Belle TODD died back in 1923 and either 1923 or 1924 Eddie TODD was removed from the home of her mother's sister Birdie Lue TODD-HARRIS and taken to the orphanage because she was not considered to be mullatoe but white. I am trying to find out if Eddie Lee's Aunt Birdie L. TODD-HARRIS was given custody or if she adopted this niece and her sisters (Inez TODDand Kathyn WHERRY). On a 1930's train past it states Kathyrn WHERRY as a daughter to Birdie L. TODD-HARRIS. Birdie TODD-HARRIS was married to Alton HARRIS of Newbern TN. I send a notarize letter to the Shelby County Juvenile Central Records office but they could not find any information. If someone could tell me what orphanages would have been in operation in the city of Memphis TN at that time and where to look for documation on this matter. I am also looking for TODD & HARRIS relatives who would have been related to William & Rose TODD who had 12 children: Green HARRIS the father to Alton HARRIS and James HARRIS. Green HARRIS' sister Lucinda HARRIS married Lafayette (fayette) HASKINS in Newbern TN. The HARRIS resided in that area down to Memphis. Thanks for any assistance offer.
