I think that would be a great idea. Most of the searches are more for birthfamily that want to find the child. It's hard when you are always asked to type in the birthdate of the child and get yourself. I don't know when my mother was born, what town she lived in, etc......... I was born on August 19, 1959 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I believe my birthmother's last name might have been Conway and she had been a kind of nurse. Some of her sisters had been nurses too in the 1930's. She stayed at a home for unwed mothers until my birth, but was originally from South Dakota. Her family was a big farm family in South Dakota, but I don't know what part. Anyone that has information, I would be very happy to have some. I was adopted through Catholic Charities.

This is great. I am an adoptee looking for any birth family. The non-identifying papers that show why I was adopted out include this bit of info. I was born Mary Jane Conway on 8/19/59 in St. Paul, Minnesota. My mother was from South Dakota and my father was in the military. She was from a large farming family, of polish descent, Catholic and was working as a nurse. My father was of French Canadian, had red wavy hair, and had 1 brother. His mother was dying of cancer at the time of my birth. I don't know where he was living. I would like to find anyone at all related to me as my adoptive parents are both deceased and I have 3 children that I would like to know about me. My mother was in a home for unwed mothers before my birth and I was adopted out through Catholic Charities. If anyone knows anything, please help, I am not having much luck. Thank you.
