Surnames: Carmichael, Kenny Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QEC.2ACE/2256 Message Board Post: Raymond was born December 1888 to Columbia Carmichael and then adopted by his Uncle, Gardner Carmichael. I am trying to determine who was his father. I would like to know where to find the adoption records for Ritchie County, West Virginia. Gardner also adopted Mary Ruth Kenny, Columbia's daughter by John Kenny, a couple of years later.
