thank you i need help, my mother-in-law,was told by her mother on her deathbed that she was not thier child, her child she had died in birth--she was given to them, taken from a indian woman. We saw a paper that had given them guardenship of her that she later burned -she was given the 19th as her birth but we saw an earlier date in the month on a schoolrecord. Eldon F Spaulding and Bertie E Desforges are the parents listed. She never had a birth-certificate-nor s.s.card she used her husband's . If you had seen her you would call her indian,unfortunately she was ashamed of her history. If you could please help us we would be very greatful. thank you Sue Hatala

Comments:
Searching for birth/death records on my father. Allen (edwards) marshall, and records of his brothers and sisters. . His mothers name was Josephine Alford Edwards. She was married to Jacob Edwards. I think he was born allan Lelonzo Edwards in 1916, changing his name to Marshall at a later date. Jacob and Josephine had six more children. 1 Nettie merle(married Grover Cleveland)
2.Mary
3.Bonnia (married to aunt zorine) she was a minister or preacher)
4 & 5 .Twins Melvin and Malcolm ( one died young the other died in Pittsburg, ca. in the 1940's h, he was in the navy or army.
6.H B
I am having trouble finding any information on any of them.
Allen/allan and his brother Bonnia were burned in a fire in 1956. Allen/allen died as a result of that fire within a few days. Uncle Bonnie and Aunt Zorine came to Calif. for a visit after his recuperation. The only time in my memory that I saw them. I do have pictures as a baby with Gramma Edwards, my brother Wayn and Four (4) of aunt netties children. I also have a picture with Uncle Bonnie in calif. I believe it was taken in the late fifties. My mother Marjorie Wright was married to Allen Marshall, I believe in 1943 or 1944. My brother, Wayne Allen Marshall was born in 1944 in Los Angeles, Ca. I was born in Herman Hosp. in Houston, Tex. in 1946 (Janine Charlotte Marshall). I need help in locating information.
Thank You for any help that can be provided
