Do you know what orphanage you were at?

Orphanage was St. Joseph's Children and Maternity Hospital. Was left in a cardboard box.

Have you contacted the orphanage for anything left with you? Or any queries made about you?

I've contacted orphanage. Nothing was left with me. There are no records. No names, no places, even no birth date.

Is this the person you spoke to? Marie Pritchyk St. Josephs Center 2010 Adams Street Scranton, PA 18509 She is very helpful. Try to look at the newspapers around the time you were left there. I found an article in the paper that was very helpful in a search.

I received an answer to my inquiry from Mary Kate Gallagher at St. Joseph's. She gave me all the info available. I also was able to obtain the newspaper article written about my being found. In the article was time of day, and person who found me.
