Williard Home, Indiana County, PA, USA
The Indiana County (Pa.) Home was situated on the old
Campbell farm outside
the city limits. About a few hundred yards down the dirt road was the
Williard Home.
The County Home was primarily for indigent adults; those with little or
no
family and/or money. It was sometimes referred to as the poor farm or
the
old folks home.
The children's home housed mostly orphans and some children whose parents
could not control them at home. I was "put" there because my
father (who was
born in 1862 during Lincoln's admin.) died. My mother, who had been
mentally
ill since about 1932, was becoming a nuisance bothering people, had to be
put
in jail until they transferred her to the State Hospital. There was no
one to take care of us kids. Only my younger
brother and I were placed in the Home. My older brother and sister found
a
"home" with relatives. My oldest brother was 17, my sister,
16. I was 14
and my youngest brother was 12.
I suppose there were about 50 or so children at the Home while I was
there -
give or take a half-dozen.
After just one day at the Home, my brother and I decided to find other
quarters. After school, instead of going back out to the Home, we
canvassed
the old neighborhood asking neighbors if we could live with them. We had
an
aunt who lived by herself in a large house, but she wouldn't take us in.
I
remember telling her that we wouldn't eat much and that we'd sleep on
the
floor.
So, we were taken back to the Home. The Matron had a talk with us and
said
we wouldn't have to be there too long. We would be placed in a foster
home.
Well, that never happened.
We spent our days working in the fields - there were endless rows of
corn,
potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
We eventually got used to being there, however. One can adapt to most
anything at that age.
The "bedrooms" were somewhat like an Army barracks - there were
about 12 or
so cots running down one side of the room with a like number on the
other.
No privacy. There was one room - a linen closet - where shirts and
pants
were kept. One just picked out one of each to wear. Sometimes they even
fit. No one owned his own clothes, as such. Saturday evening was bath
time.
The smaller kids got in the tub 2 or 3 at a time.
The
Williard Home was, I believe, called the Children's Home to distinguish
it
from the County Home.

Vermilion County Orphanage,
Vermilion County, Illinois
1932-
1936
My dad, Wesley E. Ford, (born 1919) and 2 of his brothers
spent 4 years of his life in this orphanage. His father died in 1929,
leaving his mother to take care of 5 children. She developed cervical
cancer, leaving her unable to take care of the kids by 1932, when she was
placed in a hospital/nursing home at that time, until she died in 1939.
My dad would often tell us stories of this orphanage, the one I remember
the most was how much he grew to hate tapioca pudding - he said they
would serve it to the kids, and it looked like little eyeballs in the
pudding! Which I think is particularly funny, because my dad can eat
anything and everything on this planet that is edible, but he won't go
near tapioca pudding!
Anyway, I'm looking for anyone that served their time in this orphanage,
my dad is still alive, he's 81 years old, and I think he might like to
correspond with fellow "inmates".

St John's Orphan Asylum, Utica
NY
I am looking for information on the St. John's Orphan Asylum,
aka, St. John’s School and Asylum located in Utica, NY. It was founded
in 1834 and run by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. A new
building to house the orphans was built in 1912. In 1901 or 1961
(conflicting records) it became Utica Catholic Academy, a girl's school.
I am looking for physical information on the building and also
information from residents who lived there.
I have found the St. John's Orphan Asylum records at this website
http://www.loc.gov.coll/nucmc
Included in these records are Minutes of the Board of Directors, 1849-
1951; minutes of St. John's Orphan Asylum Corporation, 1942-46; minutes
of the Advisory board, 1947-56; resolutions, bylaws and administrative
reports, 1834-1951; correspondence, 1884-1979; annual reports, 1880-1967;
financial and legal documents, including deeds, 1831-1968; clippings,
1858-1979; photographs, c.1890-1969; and school yearbooks, student and
faculty handbooks, programs, articles and brochures.
The location of these records is:
Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul
Northeast Province Archives
96 Menands Road
Albany, NY 12204
If anyone who lives in the area can access these records I would
appreciate them contacting me at linen53@yahoo.com as I am very
interested in obtaining copies of some of the earlier documents (I live
in Colorado). I'm willing to pay for what I get and also donate the

St Johns Orphan Asylum, Utica,
NY
Here's the basic history of St John's Orphan Asylum in Utica,
NY:
It was started by John and Nicholas Devereaux (brothers). They appealed
to the newly established Community in St Joseph's Valley, Emmitsburg, Md
and the request was granted. After a journey by stage and canal boat,
Sisters Etienne Hall, Lucina Simms and Theophilia Williams arrived in
Utica and opened the ninth establishment of the Sisters of Charity in the
U.S. in a small house on St. John's Street.
The Devereaux family continued its charity and it was their desire that
the institution be entirely supported at their expense, but the sisters
also set up fundraisers for support. Then in 1849 an order was received
to releave the Devereaus family of the charge and the institution became
an incorporated body. The Asylum was incorporated in March 28, 1849.
The Rev Joseph Stokes and Francis Kernan served as president from 1849-
1863. Since then the institution has been under a board of directors and
a superior has served as president.
In 1853 Michael McQuade and his wife, Johanna gave a gift of land. In
1872 the institution received a part of the county tax for charitable
instituions. By 1897 the grounds belonging to the institution covered an
area of about 32,000 sq. feet.
In 1907 the Sisters were offered a 2-story frame building near the
outskirts of Utica. It was located on top of a steep hill. About this
time Mathew A Carton purchased the land and deeded it to the Sisters of
Charity for the purpose of errecting a modern, well equipped building.
The building was occupied in 1912. The site comprised 22 acres. The
initial cost of the building was more than $150,000 and it had
accomodations for more than 300 children.
The new building (the address was now 2527 Genesee St.) was 3 1/2 stories
high and in 1942 the name was changed to St. John's Home and School.
Formerly the school was strickly a girl's school, but in 1925 St. John's
took in boys between the ages of 6 and 10 after a fire destroyed another
Utica orphanage known as St. Vincent's Protectorate.
A further merger came in 1955 when St. John's took in infants that
previously had been cared for at St. Joseph's Infants Home, founded in
the 1890s and located on Green St in West Utica. It remained as St.
John's and St. Joseph's Infants Home until 1961 when it became Utica
Catholic Academy. As of 1-8-95 (the date of one of the articles I am
quoting this from) it it now known as the Academy at Southgate
condominiums.

I was in the orphanage(Methodist Children's Home Little Rock
Arkansas) under the name Richard Wayne Patterson before my adoption. I
have recently obtained my original birth certificate which states my
Mother as Rebecca Underwood Patterson and my father as Reef Warren
Patterson. It further states that I was born in Mobile, Alabama August
21, 1957. There is also information stating that there were two previous
births. I am trying to locate my siblings. I was four years old when I
was adopted and don't know if my siblings were at the orphanage too. If
anyone in the Mobile, Alabama or Little Rock area has any information
that could help me locate my family it would be greatly appreciated. I
was told early on that my Mother had died and that was the reason for my
being placed in the orphanage. However, I have no proof of this. I am
now 44 years of age and my children are always asking about my birth
family. I would love to have some answers.

It's time to heal the wounds of yesteryears...
It's time to face all the fears......
It't time to shed the tears......
It's time to remember the yesteryears....
Where are the memories?
Where do they hide?
They are within us deep inside...
They rule our destiny and hold the key...
As to what our life was meant to be.
The hurt, the pain, the guilt and the shame...
The laughter and tears....
These are the memories of the yesteryears.
My laughter sustains me, my anger subsides...
My heart now speaks to the place deep inside...
The cycles not yet broken, like pearls on a string...
It's taken the present to explain...
No one's to blame.

Tioga or Potter County,
Pennsylvania (and surrounding areas)
I am not an orphan from a home, but i have been searching for
one for quite a while. My problem is that i do not know the name fo the
home(s) that the people i am searching for were in. I am looking for
anyone who may have information on Nathan Allen and his sister Kathryn
(any variety of spellings) Allen. They were left on church steps in Tioga
or Potter county somewhere around the years 1906 to 1909. the children
stayed together in the home they were sent to for some time then kathryn
was sent elsewhere and Nathan never saw her again. I am searching for
this information for my boyfriends father. He is the son of Nathan and
would really like to find his fathers sister. If anyone could help me
with the names of the homes in these areas or maybe someone finds the
names of these people familiar i would really love to hear form you. We
have no idea where the family comes from and it would mean so much for us
to find Kathryn and/or her descendants. Nathan was about 5 yrs old give
or take when they were left on those steps and his sister was still young
enough to be left in a basket (probably a year or less) We have a birth
for Nathan saying born in 1903 but it is only a typed record from the
orphans court, not a regular birth certificate, so it may not be totally
correct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. thank you

Chicago area, Illinois, Cook
County
abt1907-1925
I'm looking for information on my grandmother. This is
where things get tricky. She always said her maiden name was Cordelia
Marimae Leasure. However, when I obtained her SS-5 application from
Social Security she wrote her maiden name was French. Cordelia Marimae
French. I recently found a Cordelia French as a boarder in a home. She
was 13 in 1920 which matches my grandmother's age at that time. Also
on her parents birthplaces was put U.S. Which makes you think she didnt
know her parents.
My grandmother spoke of growing up in the orphanage often, but was
somewhat of a secrative person about details. She did say that the
orphanage used to loan the children out to work on farms to help harvest
crops at harvesting time. On the 1920 census, the people she is boarding
with are farmers. This makes me think even more it is her. However, I
know nothing about the name of the orphanage other than it was in the
Chicago area. She later married my grandfather after meeting him in
Chicago. She worked in a dept store as an elevator operator. Possibly
Marshall Fields, since my grandfathers cousin worked in this store. IF
anyone has any ideas on where or who to find records with and how to
obtain them I would appreciate the information. Thank you

Orphanage in AR in or near
Mississippi county
1902 and up
. I am looking for the family of Johnnie Perkins Laxson who
was a barber by trade. He grew up in an orphan's home in AR until he
became sick with smallpox and an Aunt Vic (do not know her last name) was
called to come get him because they were afraid that he might die.
However, he did not die and at the age of 14 he went to work as a barber.
His mother died in childbirth and so did the baby boy who would have been
Johnnie's little brother. Mother's name was Maggie Laxson. Do
not know the father's name.
He lived in St. Louis, Algiers in New Orlesns, Blytheville, AR and Shaw,
MS. He was in a Sanatorium for TB in MS and was married to Vertie George
who died in 1934 and was buried in Ittabena, MS. Vertie George was born
in MO some where around Cape Guardia. Her mother's name was Sula and
herfather's name was William Herry George. William Henry George was
a Preacher at the Christian Church in Blytheville, Ar during the early
1900's
Johnnie Perkins Laxson and Vertie George had one child, Maxine Laxson
Bussey. Johnnie Perkins Laxson is buried in Magee, MS next to his second
wife Ned Lindsey who he met in the Sanatorium.
Johnnie Perkins Laxson was a 32-degree Mason and worshipful master of the
MaGee Lodge.
We can not locate the orphan's home because we believe it to have
burned. Is there anyone who knows of a home in this area at this time or
knows any connection the names above.

I am seeking any information concering my late fathers
family, birth records, place. he had a piece of paper that was destroyed
due to age and eventually crumbled to a pile of dust. the orphanage he
spent time in was demolished in the 30's. I do not know the name of
this place, only that it was somewher around Collingswood new jersey?? he
stated that his fathers name was Collie, mother name Rizzo under her name
cassato which could have been the person that delivered him.his birth
date was oct, 28 1923?? he ran away from the orphanage several times in
the late 20's. The last time he ran away they did not find him. so
there may be some sort of police records. there are no photos of him as a

name of the orphanage?? anything to give me a lead!!! thank you!! Mona

I am an orphan, 21yrs of age. I was adopted by Mr. Herchy
who once resided in the US when I was 8 yrs old. He financed my education
all this while till I got to Secondary School form 3. He passed away in
on 12 feb, 2000 in a car accident. Initially the brother Martin Herchy of
Utica NY.took me on and was sending money to me, but it's been almost
a year now and I have not heard from him. All attempts to reach him or
any relative of Mr Herchy has proved futile. I passed my exams obtaining
the ff. grades.
subject Grade interpretation.
Biology E Pass
Chemistry D Credit
Physics C Good
Mathematics B Very Good
English B Very Good
Science B Very Good
Social Studies B Very Good.
I have still not gained admission to the University since there is no
body to finance my education. When I came out of school I engaged myself
in selling farm produce like onions, cabbage, lettuce, etc. which I
planted myself. I used the money I had gotten to learn about computers
(Software). God being so good I secured a job after the six months
computer training at a business center where I typed letters and
designing using the computer. Then I enrolled with Sama Computer Training
and learnt computer Hardware (Repair & Maintenance). Currently I am
survivinng as a result of the jobs I get after repairing computers. I
want anybody who's been touched to help me in my education either
abroad or here in Ghana. Good will richly bless you for helping a
brilliant but needy child. Counting on your support. Thank you and God
richly bless U.

Pacific Protective Society
(Oakland California, Alameda County, 1932)
Looking for information on the Pacific Protective Society.
It is listed on my fathers birth certificate as the institution he was
born at. The address is listed as: 1218 East 21st Street, Oakland, Ca.
My fathers name was: Barry Vierra. He was born in October of 1932.
According to my fathers birth certificate - his father was: Paul Russ
(K.J.A.B. radion station/Belboa Floral Co both located in San Francisco).
His mother was: Hazel Vierra (housemaid located in Oakland California).
His baptism papers show a Pauline Green listed as his God mother (St.
Josephs Church Oakland). Information on Pauline would be helpful too -
maybe her family can give me information on Hazel, Paul, or where my
father was.

*Frank,a big guy?
*Joey Duyche>spell?
*Twila and Linda I can see Their faces...Chambers They sang.
Also Mr. Driscall the Phys. Ed teacher And the Sat. morning
lady...Adell...
The sewing machine room that had the radio we snuck up to listen to while
ironing on Sat morning. Either Adell knew it and let us or we were
"getting away with it"! :)
Tussy deoderant. God we hated it!
The big bedroom for the 6 younger girls.
The single room for the "lucky" girl that had a chance at it!
There was a unit for older girls. Once you were in a certain grade you
could move there. Can't remember the name of it.! Began with a K?
The long tall steeple. The smell walking outside. I think it was the
laundry steam. The round playground merri- go -round that was out back
with the swings!
Also back there was a path that led to St. Joseph Home down the way. One
would stay there for a short time before they were moved to St.
Paul's.
Oh, the memories!
The chore of ringing the chappel bell.
Boy scouts and girl scouts coming on holidays to give to the
"orphans"!
Boy we made out like bandits! Fact was... we had it better there than
most would. Movies, Ballroom dancing, Swimming Pool!
There are so many more names and memories. I know I would remember if I
heard the names. I remember there was the Tues.night Ballroom dancing
lessons., Wed. & Sat. morning was swimming. And Friday movies! I even
remember some of the schedule!
These are memories that live in my mind.
Anyone remember?

My sister and I lived at St. Vincent's Childrens'

members could afford to bring us home. The old home is no longer in
downtown Baltimore. Quite a few years ago, it was moved to a location in
Baltimore County on Pot Springs Road, I believe.
I would like to know how I can get pictures and information about the old
home. Anyone have any ideas, in addition to writing to the current
administrator, about how I can research this? I live in Montana, and my
sister in Oregon, so we don't have local access to old courthouse or
land records.
Any information/ideas would be great. Thanks. Lois Anne

1to 2 years. not sure
I was in an orphanage for about 1 or 2 years. I have been
told it was in Jersey City, New Jersey. I do not know the name of it.
It may have been a catholic charities run place, not sure, but at one
time there was a carnival in the play yard and we children were watched
by two nuns.
The building was two or three stories. The boys slept in the main floor
and the girls on the top floor. The play yard was on a hill and there was
a chain link fence atop a concrete wall along a city street. There was
also a mounted policeman that rode by almost every day. He would stop
and talk to us.
I am tying to find out the name of this orphanage to trace my early life
history and possible find my birth family.
If anyone recognizes this orphanage from my brief description, and its
name, please email me. I was there in the early 50's.
Thank you

Looking for Linster
cousins, Tennessee Poorhouse or Orphanage
Trying to find what happened to the children of my great
Uncle Will Linster from South Pittsburg, TN (Marion County). 1930 census
shows kids to be: John 12 yrs old, Belle 7 yrs old, William, Francis
& Virginia who was a baby in 1930. I was told the family was always
very poor and when the depression hit, no one knows where this family
went. Will's older brother Jack showed up in the Marion County
Poorhouse in 1920 but couldn't find the other Linsters. The kids may
have been placed in homes or taken from the parents. I think Uncle Wills
wifes name was Oma. If anyone knows this family, please contact me.

I am looking for information re: my grandmother who, I am

(Jefferson county, I think) She was supposed to be around 7, her name at
the time was supposed to be Myrtle May Moore. She had an older (I think)
sister who was, I am told not sent to the orphanage. They were, I am
told, supposed to be inheriting some land which was rich with Pecan
Groves and that that may be why my grandmother was sent to the orphanage.
Her sister was: Emma Margaret Moore, her father was: Charles
Harold/Harould Moore and her mother was: Emma May Serrett/Sarrett-Moore.
I think she had a brother who was a junior to her father. I hope somebody
reading this has some information or says something to someone who has.

Hopewell Orphange, New York
City???
between 1938-1940
My name is Robbin and I am searching for any information on
Hopewell Orphanage in New York. My mother's name was (is)Ingeborge
Marie Becker.According to my mom, her mother sent her to Hopewell for 1
to 3 years. My Grandmother arrived in New York at 18 years old from
Germany with no family. My mother was the product of a relationship
between my grandmother Margarete Hausenclever and Eric Becker(he wanted
nothing to do with his child). My mother was born in March 1933 and went
to Hopewell when she was between 5 and 7 years old.
Any info on Hopewell (location,still around,way to access records, year
closed) would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at

St. John's
Orphan's Asylum / aka St. John's Orphange/ St. John's
Home
1952-1958
My name John Bangert, a former resident or "pass
boy" from St. John's Orphan Asylum from 1952-1958. This home was
located at 49th Street and Wyalusing Ave. in West Philadelphia. I was
hoping to get a history or pictures from the Sisters of Saint Joseph,
archivist, who I contacted recently.
I was also hoping to find the names, biography and perhaps pictures of
the SSJ sisters at St. John's Home. Sr. Mary Eggberta, Sr. Mary, of
Consolation, Sr. Mary Finbarr, Sr. Mary David, Sr. Alice Patricia, Sr.
Helen Constance, Sr. Mary Daniel, Sr. St. Carthage, Sr. Cora Maria, Sr.
Mary Francis, Sr. Perpetua etc.. Are any of these Sisters still alive?
These were teaching nuns, and dormitory nuns from 1950's.
Several building are still in use by the present owners and we are
planning a 50 year reunion. Were you here? When and please tell us when.
In it hayday, we had over 250 boys located here. Do you remember
donations, day old cinnamon buns, Philadelphia Soft/ Hard Pretzels
Sticks. Any one interested, please contact us at (508) 432-0545.
We recently went on a two hour tour of the buildings in May 2003. We saw
"L" & "H" dormatory building. On the 3rd floor
where the nuns had their cells is now individually offices. We also saw
"B", "E", we saw the old group shower room and
originial toilets, and urinals are still there. "A", in the
main building the chapel, and the dining rooms, the catacomes are still
there where the coal bins were and the tunnels that linked all the
buildings. The old laundry building is also still there and "E"
&"C", dormatories and play rooms too. The Gym, poor, and
school are gone and replaced with low income housing on Westminister
Street side. Who remembers Mr. Funk "Pete" who would give out
TP when we would try to sneak into the outside bathroom for warmth in the
winters. Do you remember the swings and sliding board, will they are all
gone too. Do you remember going to PHILCO radio factory for Christmas
parties, with Sargent Bilco Phil Silvers?
I am told me that there is a bench or pew on which we waited outside the
Main office, it is now at the Motherhouse, does anyone have a digital
camera to snap a picture of two of this and other art effects from St.
John's Home Chapel?
We hope to be putting a web site together so we can share whatever photos
we get. Thank you, The Re-union Committee!

called 'Duffy's". I found who I think is my grandfather on
the NY 1900 census in Suffork CO NY. He was a Protege of Edward A.
Duffy, a priest, but it looks like my grandfather was living at the home
of 'Father Duffy' and not in an Orphanage. Does anyone know
anything about a Catholic Orphanage for boys in NYC or the town of Islip

Princessdeedee,
I also was adopted from St. Michael's in 1952, I visited in Jan,
1969 and tried to obtain information, I was only 17 at the time so they
were not willing to give me anything. I was able to tour through the
orphanage and found it very strange to feel I was there 17 years prior.
It was run by I believe (Catholic Charities) probably the sisters of
Mercy (I remember the sisters in all white) I spoke to the mother
Superior. But no luck and I was unaware it was demolished in 73, but I
haven't been able to find any info on it either, If you have found
any info since your inquiry please notify me. I stuck on where my records
may be now. I suppose I should check with Catholic Charities they may
have retained the records. Well, good luck to you! Fellow adoptee born
1/26/52 in Morristown and adopted from St. Michael's orphanage in
Hopewell, NJ.

Concord, California - born at

1863 to
unknown
I am searching for my biological father. His name was put on
my original birth certificate as Glenn Melvin Baker. Some research on
him has been fruitful. He worked as a Dairyman for Storenetta Dairy and
lived at Point Arena, California in 1963 - the year I was born. I
believe that he remained in that general area for some time. He was an
Apache Indian born in Arizona with the alias of Chief Cochise Baker. He
would be 60-70 years old at this time and may have moved back to AZ??
Any help anyone can give me with my search to find him, whether he is
alive or not, will be greatly welcome. A.D.N.

St. John's and St.
Joseph's orphanage, utica, new york
1944-
1945?
Debra Dove, Feb 20
2002
I was at this orphanage in l944 and was
adopted in l945 by a family in Utica, New York. It is my understanding
that a staph infection swept the orphanage at that time; many infants
died and I in fact received the last rites of the church. I attended
Utica Catholic Academy on John St.in Utica. It had been a co-ed school
and when a new school was built for the boys in 1961 (Notre Dame) the
girls were sent (ironically) to finish high school in what had been St.
John's orphanage on Genesee St. I have vivid memories of that
forboding gothic hilltop buildling,overlooking Genesee St., it's
grandeur and beauty. I had an odd sense of having been there earlier. I
have tried to revisit but it has been turned into a rather exclusive
condominium (somewhat of a gated community). Please feel free to contact
me. I would love access to some of those records and perhaps could be
helpful to you. I live now in Rochester, New York, but most of my family
remain in Utica.

Life Line Rescue Mission,
Kansas City, Kansas
1914
I'm inquiring about my mother-in-law, now deceased, who
was adopted from the above orphanage in 1914. She was adopted by a couple
named Davis who lived around Hill City, Kansas. She was a baby at the
time. A handwritten card was given to her by her adoptive parents. The
card says: Aloweese Butcher, born in Windsor, Mo, Feb. 4, 1914. I have
original correspondence from a Mrs. Kate Coe from the Life Line Orphange.
It shows the address as being 1916 N. 3rd, Kansas City, Kansas. In 1982,
we contacted ALMA (Adoptees Liberty Movement Association), who said they
had received a letter in 1974 from a Ruth Zimmerman, who was looking for
a sister, born on Feb. 4, 1914 and adopted through Life Line Orphanage.
She said her sister's name was Aloise Russell, daughter of Nathan
Russell and Lora Williams Butcher. I could never find Mrs. Zimmerman,
whose address in 1974 was 5300 Clark Dr., Shawnee Mission, Ks. Anyone
with any information on this that can share, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Sacred Heart Orphanage, 180
Belgrove Drive,Kearny New Jersey
1940 to
1950
Hello All:
We share an experience that is special to us all not always plesant but
special. Me and my brother Joe DiGiesi were put in Sacred Heart Orphanage
in Kearny by our maternal grandparents. After some time it became normal.
Then after we were living again with grandparents it was strange to be on
the outside again "free" so to speak. I will always think of
the Orphanage as HOME for as long as I live whereever I live. There were
many boys from Newark there with us and many other brothers also. We had
a close kinship with all who were there.
The Nuns for the most part were caring except for the few hard cases. We
were always drawn back for Christmas eve Mass there. It was instinctive.
I went for a visit up to Monroe New York where we had a summer camp and
slept in my car to extend the stay. There is also a retirement home in
MonroeNY.there for the Sister of Charity who ran the show. I was glad to
see Sister Agnes she ran the whole orphanage and she must have been sent
by GOD to care for the about 100 to 150 boys there.I have a special place
in my heart for her. Any body there at that time from 1940 to 1950 drop
me a line. Wouls love to hear from you.
I'll be around
Best Regards
Anthony DiGiesi

Catherine? Food scrap handouts?
The girls I remember are Olga Civitello, Dolores Svoboda,
Anne and Ellen Duff who were models for Maud Tousey Fangel,and their
Father was working in Arabia.The Henshaw sisters, and Mary Sullivan?
who came to school but lived at home. She used to bring sandwiches for
her lunch which she sometimes shared.
From the food handouts thru the fence from Camp Shanks german prisoners
of war, to the siblings I saw once a month, to the hours of cleanup after
flu swept thru, I am filled with memories. I will be seventy next month.I
am lonely. Is there anybody out there ?

Hi,
I was raised in several orphanages in Desplaines, Ill. It was the 1940
to almost 1950. I did write to them to get information about my stay and
they were kind enough to respond. YOu would have to know the name and
approximate years. In those days we were all educated in the orphanage.
Everything happened right there, you rarely got out. Boys were separated
from girls, except in school class rooms. If you had a brother there,
you only got to them them once each month, briefly. It was strict but
fair if you stayed out of trouble If you acted out, it could be quite
rough. I got a great education that I am grateful for, but feel
extremely limited emotionally in my ability to cope with society. I did
have and raise 5 kids, and tried to overcompensate in my parenting as I
had no role model We were left on our own too much. Too many kids and
not enough adults. But I am alive. Are there any other Maryville Kids
out there. If so, write me at winningsteps@aol.com
Bye, I am going home free now. Sharon

put up for adoption through
catholic social services in Pensacola FL
Baby Girl Born June 1958 at a Hospital in Pensacola FL
Birthmother may have been a nurse, and may have been from Mobile Alabama.
Hospital paperwork described the birthmother as having fair skin, blue
eyes,and dark hair (although this info may be incorrect. Birthmother
contacted Catholic charities on March 31,1958 and was described as being
"a very attractive, refined and well mannered young woman." It
was noted in the paperwork that the birthmother's sister came to be
with her after the birth, and left $20 for the agency, before they both
returned to their home state (most likely Alabama according to
paperwork). Please contact me if you can remeber anyone from that time,
or if you have any information at all. Thank You

Dear Sir or Madam, I live in Scotland, I'm writing to you in the hope
you can help me search for information on my father. I recently received
a letter from my birth mother telling me of him. He was stationed in the
UK in 1944. His name is Gayle (Though not sure of the spelling) Robinson
or Robertson, or a close derivative of those. He was born around 1914 -
1918 and he was raised in an orphanage in Pennsylvania, upon reaching
work age he worked as a miner prior to enlisting in the military. To help
me find out the history of my father, I am trying to identify his home
town or county. kindest regards, John Wastle

I am looking for Anna Guinnip. I found her name in the 1920
census for Harrison Township. It states that she was living with an
Esther VanWert. I believe that she could be my Aunt. She was 8 years old
at the time. My father's name is Charles Edward Gynnip (Guinnip) I am
not sure where either one of them wer born. I also found an Irene Guinnip
who died on June 26,1917. Exactly 2 months after my father was born. She
died in Westfield,Tioga County,Pennsylvania. My father claimed to have a
sister named Anna, who moved to Cincinnatti, Ohio and raised my sister
Beatrice V. Guinnip, born February 16, 1947. I believe that Irene could
be my Grandmother. Her funeral bill was rendered to a William Guinnip of
R.D., Westfield. Pennsylvania. My father claims to have been raised by an
Alvira Persing in Sabinsville,Pa. and having attended school in Harrison
Valley. Alvira Persing could be my great-grandmother.

hodge surname
I have a long story, please take time and read about this
puzzle that I'm trying to solve.
On my Dad's side of the family, I started with Dad's parents and
sisters, which I have never meet and they never meet me or my brother.
One of my puzzles is this:
My Dad kept in his wallet his SS card and the stub to the card. On the
stub he wrote his mother's maiden name: Mary Brown and then he had
Carl Hodge and Philadelphia. Something doesn't sound right with this.
Why would you write your parent's names and your place of birth?
I went to the SS office and they gave me this information about my
Dad's SS number:
Date Issued of the card is 11/1956 in Florida
Dad's name = Frank Carl Hodge
Parent's names are Mary Brown and Carl Hodge (Dad's SS number is
261-60-8971) Dad's DOB 1-25-1928 in Philadelphia, PA. DOD - May 1988
in Charleston, SC (I
knew my Dad all my life.)
I wrote for my Dad's birth certificate, but they had no record of
birth for the names I provided.
On my Mom and Dad's marriage certificate I have this:
Dad's parent's names are Bill and Irma Hodge living in Detroit,
MI.
Dad's address in 1956 on the marriage certificate is Sumter, SC.
Mom and Dad married in Lincoln, NC on May 17, 1956.
The story my Mom told me was that my dad did something to where his dad
was
going to turn my Dad in to the police, so they got into a fight and my
Dad's Dad kicked my Dad out of the house. Mom said Dad told her he
had gotten into a car wreck in his teens and was in hospital awhile. (I
don't know where.) All of this was in his teens.
My Dad was traveling with the fair at the time Mom and Dad met and
married. My Dad at one time worked were they took taxes out and that was
in Florida in 1956. Dad never worked anywhere else where he had taxes
took out. My Dad would either travel with the fair or had night clubs
here in Charleston, SC. All my Dad's clubs were in my Mom's name.
Dad couldn't or didn't want the drinking license in his name,
etc. Dad was good at covering his tracks. I do know one thing when
traveling with the fair back then everyone had Alabama tags because you
didn't need car insurance. As you see I have nothing to go on without
a birth certificate, etc.
Thank You, Linda Hodge Davis

The Francis Comfort Thomas
Orphans Home, 507 Cherry Street, Bartholomew Co, Indiana
6 weeks
I am a girl adoptee, born on July 29, 1955 and was placed for
adoption during September,1955. I was adopted by Thomas William
"Bill" of Milan, Indiana and Mary Gray Thompson, Milan,
Indiana, originally from Salem, Indiana. My adopted name was Nancy Lu
Thompson.
I have in my possession a letter from a woman by the name of Hazel McKain
who states that she hopes they (my adoptive parents) are happy with her
little sweetheart. I do not know if this woman is/was my biological
mother or if she was an employee of the orphanage (The Francis Comfort
Thomas Orphans Home, Bartholomew County Dept. of Public Welfare,
Columbus, Indiana) at that time. I am unable to find anything on Hazel
McKain. I would truly love to find my biological parents or siblings.
Hazel McKain mentions my adoptive father by his nickname "Bill"
so I know she knew him personally, not just as a prospective parent. My
adoptive parents had been trying to adopt a second child for at least 3
years prior to September, 1955. Their first child was a son, whom they
named Dale "Reed", adopted on April 24, 1952 (same day as his
birth, my adoptive mother told me) at the Milan, Indiana clinic. Dr.
William Warn of Milan, Indiana brought him to them that day. There were
adoption papers for my adopted brother, but no such papers were found for
me in my parents safety deposit box at the time of my mother's death
in 2001. Whenever my mother and I spoke about my adoption she being
visibly upset. (crying and shaking)
If you have any information in regard to my birth, adoption, heritage,
siblings, biological parents, etc. please contact me at nance729@aol.com.
Thank you.

New Jersey. His father's name was Mitchell Miller and his
mother's name was Catherine (Mather or Mathers)Miller.He had a
brother, name unknown. Apparently Joseph's parents both died during a
flu epidemic around 1900, so Joseph and his brother were sent to a
Catholic Orphanage in Cincinnati, Ohio. Joseph eventually ran away from
the orphange and settled around Warren, Penn.

A Jewish orphange in San
Francisco, California
from approx 1920-
1938
My father and his two brothers were place in a Jewish
orphange when their mother was admitted to a hospital and their father
abandoned them. My father is now deceased as well as his two brothers. He
would never talk about those days and I would like to know about my
ancestors.
My father's name is: Gordon Ross Morehead and he was born 9/26/1917.
His brothers names are Stanley and Harry Morehead.
I believe that their mother's name is Ruby Morehead or Joy Ruby
Morehead and his father's name is Samuel Morehead.
I realize it is expensive to research your ancestors and I don't have
much money. Does anyone know about my relatives or how I can get started?
I did find a Jwish orphange in the Calif. listing but it didn't allow
me to look at anything except the year 1900? Thank you for your help.

For years, I have been haunted by the memory of this
institution. My brother, Michael was 9 yrs. old, I was 5 yrs. old, my
sister Karen was 3 yrs. old and my brother John was just a little baby
when we were placed there. The boys and girls were seperated of course
and I only got brief glances of my older brother at meal times and at
church. I never saw my baby brother at all, except when my grandparents
would visit, then we all got to see each other. Before being placed there
, I had know idea what brutatity was. The abuse by the nuns was
atrocious. I and my siblings lived in fear every day. There's one nun
whom I will never forget. Her name was Sister Marie Philomenia. My sister
and I secretly called her Sister Marie Full of Mean. I could go on and on
about the barbaric treatment imposed on us by these alledged people of
God. I did have one saving grace while there, however. Her name was Beth.
I do believe she may have had a twin sister ( I can't remember for
sure but it does stick out in my memory for some reason). She was one of
the big girls, appox. 13 yrs. old. In the early evening before bed, she
would fuss over me, brush my hair and talk sweet to me. I have thought of
Beth many, many times over the years and have always loved her and held
her close to my heart. Beth, if by some miracle you read this, I want you
to know how grateful I was that you cared about me. You made a lasting
impression on my life. I will never forget you. Love Forever,

Arkansas and
Tennessee
abt. 1900
We are trying to locate the orhanages our grandmother was in.
The story has it that my great-grandfather (Arthur William Bethell)
desserted my great-grandmother (Opal Hodges) and their 2 children. The
children were placed in an institution by their mother. My grandmother
said that at diffent times she was in 2 orphanages, one in Arkansas and
one in Tennessee (maybe Memphis).
She said that one was Catholic and one was Baptist. She was with her
brother. Their names were Asa Bethell and Sinia Belle Bethell. He was
about 18 months older, my grandmother's recollection of her birth
place and birthdate were sketchy. We think she was born in about 1896. At
different times she reported that she was born in Des Ark or Little Rock.
We are not sure how many years they were in an orphange, but in 1910 they
were living with their mother in El Paso, TX. We have a picture of a
building with children standing in front of it, but no identification.
Maybe someone would recognise the building. We would appreciate in
information or ideas. Thank you. Clarice

My name is Tristan. I am and have been an Orphan my entire
life. I am 25. I was raised in over 50 Fosterhomes, Boy's Homes and
orphanages all over Florida. I was a ward of the state from birth until
17. I joined the Navy as a way out. For the past 8 years I have traveled
the world. I've seen places and people most never will. I've done
well for myself finacially. But inside I feel everyday like I slip a
little further from everyone. I have this emptyness inside me that keeps
growing. I feel no connection to any other person I know now. I have no
family yet I think back to the hundreds of brothers and sisters I left
behind. I miss waking up in the middle of the night and knowing that I
would be ok because I could see 30 other beds next to me. I miss having
20 faces I could come home to. Most of all I miss having people who know
my joy and pain to share it with. I feel like the last of my kind. I
wonder if there are others who feel this way.

Martha Washington Home for
Unwed Mothers ( Wauwatosa, Wi.) & St. Vincent Orphanage Milw.
Wi.
1946
Born: September 23, 1946 Martha Washington Home and sent to
St Vincent De Paul Orphanage . Adopted (?) by a worker at the orphanage
(or taken) by a Rose D'Amato ( Topetzes)age 30 at the time. Was told
by my Aunt that she worked at the Orphanage and told her family that she
helped a friend deliver me, stayed with her for 3 monthes, she died, and
Rose took me home. Only identification I have is a baptismal certificate
with the names Rose Topetzes and a George Topetzes. My Mother ( ?) was
married to a Peter Topetzes briefly who passed away in 1942, four years
before I was born, but her name was Topetzes at the time of my birth
because she had not remarried. There was no George Topetzes. My Aunt
told me she couldn't understand HOW my Mother was able to adopt me at
all because she was single at the time of my birth, and my Aunt had tried
to adopt also and was married but told they didn't own a home so was
denied. My Mother has never owned a home in her life, and yet she was
able to adopt me?
The crazy part of this whole story is that my Mother did work at St.
Vincent's in Milwaukee, and told her Father this story, but says that
she is my real Mother, but she had to lie. Now I don't know
who's telling me the truth, my Mother or my Aunt. I am ready to do a
DNA but it costs $400.00 of which I don't have and I also think it
would kill my Mother if I even dared to betray her by not believing her
story.
HELP! How can I find anything out? The orphanage is gone and so is
Martha Washington Home. My Aunt has told me to question my Mother more,
but she is 88 with a bad heart and asthma. She raised me alone and it is
hard, as an only child to be persistantly " bugging her " for
details. Can anyone out there help me?
Thank you.

home burned down and there are no records. If anyone has any information
on this home, please let us know. My mother is 85 and still wonders

girl who had become involved with an older French man who was very
prominent in this French community. Thank you.

orphanage in the Chicago area. I dont know which orphanage, however she
has mentioned jewish an greek orthodox on many occasions. I believe she
was the youngest of four, but there could be more.. Walter Akulic, Alex
Akulic, Mary Nancy Akulic. My mother is Helene Akulic and the last name
may have been spelled Akulik. They were of Polish, Russian, Ukranian
decent according to her birth record. Their parents were Agatha and
Walter (Wasil) Akulik. I have found that her brother Walter is deceased
through sdi records. Please if anyone may have knowledge of the
whereabouts of her two possibly still living siblings, Alex or Mary
Nancy, please contact me.
Thank You.. Elaine Dilelio-Hoggard majesticmountains@msn.com or 602

Dear FRIEND,
I feel so delighted to write to you,
even thogh you do not know me in person. I believe
strongly in my hearts of heart that my writing yoo is
never a coincidence but an ordained will of the most
high God.
I am a young boy of seventheen years old and my
name is ANTHONY NWAPA, from Nigeria.
As i was going through your profile, i suddenly
developed a strange feelings of an intrutive
instruction urging me to write to you. I am an orpahan
boy, i live with an aged grand mother with my little
sister Vonita. Our parents died early last year and
since then life has been very hash on us.
And the worst thing that has happened to me now is
that the only sister i have in this world is now in
the hospital and her situaton is very bad that the
doctor said that she will have to go for a kidney
operation before she can live, and he also said that i
will have to deposite the sum of $700 US dollars but if you can give me
any amuont you can afford
equivalent to our own currency here in Nigeria. Before
they can carryout the operation.
As an orphan boy I don't know what to do. I have
contacted a lot of people i know, even local churches
in my area but they could'nt help.
Please FRIEND Help me and my sister Vonita. We are
very honest and innocent young souls who desperately
need your help despite the reputation of our country
we are very honest. Please FRIEND i don't want to loose
my only sister, help us all you can Mama before she
die in the hospital.
FRIEND If you help us God must surely bless you and
your family, the adoration and praises of his name
shall never seize from your mouth. FRIEND i promise to
be a source of joy to you.
God bless you FRIEND As we sincerely wait for your
heart warming reply to us.
Your's Sincerely

Pittsburgh, PA
1938-1943?
Hi! I'm searching for anyone who might've known my
mother, Mary Lou WEBER, who lived at a Catholic orphanage in Pittsburgh,
PA from approximately 1938 (upon the death of her mother, who I believe
was named Bridget) until approximately 1943. She was 12 years old at the
time (I think) and was placed there by her father, George Byron Weber, as
were her siblings. I'm not sure how many siblings she had, but they
all would've been born between 1928-1938. I know one was named
Barbara; and there were two boys, George and Jack. If any of this sounds
familiar to you, or if you know how I can determine exactly which
orphanage my mother was in, please contact me. (Is this info available
via the census?) Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make
contact with aunts/uncles/cousins who might have stories to tell. My
mother has passed away. Thank you! Kate Siegel, katesiegel@yahoo.com or

My grandmother and her sisters were there in the early to mid 20's.

They were there for a year or 2 I know they made her sleep in the bathtub
because she wet the bed.She was very small for her age. This place did
not close until the 70's maybe. I went there as a child but remember
very little. Thanks!!

Pennsylvania
I doing research on a man from Scotland, here's how his
letter of request reads.
I live in Scotland, I am a warbabe from WWII.
A few years back I received a letter from my birth mother, she thought
she was going to die so wrote to me telling me of my father. I am
writing to you in the hope you can find where my father was raised, from
there the Military Records in NPRC at St. Louis, should be able to help
further.
My birth mother was already married when she met my father, I was adopted
and she went back to her husband. She is now in her 80's so her
memory is not what it once was.
She told me my father's name was Gayle (Not sure of Corredt
Spelling.) Robertson or Robinson or something similar. He was born
around 1914 - 1918, never knew his parents, raised in an orphanage
somewhere in Pennsylvania, became a miner then enlisted. He had a number
of service stripes, so I think he may only have been a miner for a few
years, until he was old enough to enlist.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

1967 to 1972
I volunteered at St. Michaels from approximately 1967 to
1971 and was assigned toi the nursery. I worked with Sister Alphonsus.
There were no newborns at that time but infants and toddlers. I remember
some names of the children and can see their faces like it was yesterday.
I remember Sr. Alphonsus telling me that the orphanage was going to close
and how worried she was about the children in the nursery. Some of the
children were handicapped. She told me that unless they were adopted
soon, they would be sent to state instutations which was a horrifying
thought to both of us.
I would like to locate some of these children and possibly Sr. Alphonsus.
I do not remember the Order of Nuns there. I do remember that Sr.
Alphonsus was in white as opposed to the nuns with the older children in
black habits.

St. Thomas in Lincoln Nebraska during 1954 and 1955. Diane was an artist
even that young and I remember Terry had a grandmother she went to visit.
We were six or seven years old, Diane was maybe eight. If any one knows
of any person at Saint Thomas in the mid-1950's I would like to hear
from them. My name was Linda Hayes at that time and my brother Wayne was
also at St. Thomas. The place has been gone for quite a while. But
everytime I drive by what used to be an orphanage out in the middle of
wheat fields on a gravel road--now there are townhouses and a mall--and I
remember among other things like hearing another child crying in the
night, the roses out front, the jungle gym I got my tongue stuck on in
the cold, the wild rides down the fire escape, Roy and his brothers, and
Monica, the daughter of the laundry woman. I've always wondered what
happened to the children with whom I shared two years of my life (and
mass six days a week).
P.S. I'm not catholic anymore.

I DONT KNOW
2
YEARS
I WAS ADOPTED AT 2 YEARS OLD, NOT LEGALLY. I HAD AN OLDER
BROTHER WHO WAS THERE NATURAL CHILD. THE ONLY PROBLEM THEY CATERED TO
THAT CHILD. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I NEEDED SOMETHING AS A TEENAGER GO
GET A JOB.
I FEEL FOR ALL ADOPTED KIDS AND KIDS THAT HAVE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES AND WE PAY FOR IT. ITS ALONELY WORLD WITH NO ONE FOR
SUPPORT AND HELP.
I USED TO SEE OTHER KIDS, WHO WERE DADDY LITTLE GIRL AND WONDER WHY I
WASNT TREATED THAT WAY, BUT I KNEW I HAD ANOTHER DAD OUT THERE AND NOT
WONDERING WHY HE DIDNT WANT ME.
IM NOT AGAINST ABORTION, LET CHILDREN BE BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD LOVED BY
THE ONE WHO HAS THEM. NOT THAT THEY WERE A MISTAKE AND LOOK FOR A
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

My mother was there, probably in the 1930's. We are

ANY information, even just about the orphanage would be very helpful.

MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER
If I had to choose just one person who has affected my life more than any
other individual, it would have to be Mayme Winters or "Mother
Winters," as we called her at the orphanage.
I am not exactly sure about her age, but when I first met her, I was
about 5, so I guess she would have been in her mid to upper ‘30s. She was
the Superintendent of Northeast Children's Receiving Home or as I
call it, "The Children's Home Society Orphanage" located in
Jacksonville, Florida.
I can honestly say that I have never met a more evil, vile, person in all
my life. Even when making that statement, I still feel it is an
understatement. This woman cared about nothing on the face of God's
green earth, except herself and her position in the organization. She was
mean, hard, depraved and very vindictive.
With complete honesty, I can also say that I never saw one single
instance where Mother Winters ever held, hugged or cared for a child in a
loving manner, other than for her own sexual needs and desires.
I cannot count the number of lives she destroyed over the 11 years I knew
her. For even the slightest infraction, such as climbing a tree or riding
a bicycle without permission, a child was hauled away. Some were taken to
the juvenile hall and some sent to the reform school, until their 18th
birthday.
This woman was absolutely the worse of the worst. She earned that title
being an individual, who made children feel they owed her, simply because
of the care they were receiving. She used her position as a tool to get
want she wanted, that being respect and admiration by those who held
power and authority within the community. She did not care about the
children themselves or their welfare. She did not care about a child’s
age, his or her needs or what the consequences might be later on in the
child’s life.
One statement is from a woman whom I believe committed suicide last year,
as the direct result of what Mrs. Winters did to her as a young girl.
Other statements given to me last year, also tell of several house
parents who molested children for more than three years, while living in
both the girls and boys dormitories.
Let there be no doubt, Mrs. Winters was very professional in the
performance of her duties. She was very neat and she was a very tidy
individual. There was a demeanor about her that she exhibited, which
would totally convince the authorities that she was 100 per cent correct
in her accusations against the children. This woman learned how to lie
very well by using just a little piece of the truth as the basis to
substantiate her own lies.
The only thing that really mattered to her was that the well-oiled
machine kept operating at a constant and steady pace. No one, not a
teacher, minister, house parent, policeman or child, could throw a wrench
into the perfectly operating machine she had created.
Her measures of strict control and absolute power worked very well for
many years. However, when the children began to mature, she allowed no
room for growth. It never occurred to her that a child’s thoughts,
actions and decision-making abilities also matured as he or she grew.
This process is considered normal by parents who have children. These
changes scared her and she viewed them as major trouble for her machine.
The older children were as quickly as possible, deposited in the criminal
justice system.
In one particular instance, a young girl was abused for such a long
period that now, as an adult living in Jacksonville, she only leaves her
apartment to purchase groceries and see her doctor. Other than leaving
for those two reasons, she has had no social life, whatsoever. The
children's home had placed her in a foster home. She reported to The
Children's Home Society that the foster family was molesting her. She
knew she was only there as a gift to their son for his personal pleasure.
On one occasion, the family actually returned her to the Children's
Home Society for one two-week period. The foster family was going on
vacation and did not want the expense of taking her with them. When she
reported what was happening to her, the Children's Home staff told
her she had best "keep her damn mouth shut" and that she was
"not going to ruin their fine record of family placements." The
girl was made to return to that family, where she remained for another
two years.
I can tell you this for a fact. I spent several years (two terms) in the
Florida School for Boys Reform School in Marianna, all because of Mrs.
Mayme Winters and her lies. I also spent several years in the federal
prison system during the late ‘60s. I have never (and I repeat) I have
never met a jail or prison guard who could hold a candle to “Mrs.
Winters.”
"Mother Winters," as we were required to address her, would
make us take off our clothes and stand naked, while she touched our
private parts. Many times, we boys just snickered, laughed and giggled.
To her, it was just a playful game.
Did we know that it would leave permanent scars on our memories? What
sort of sick perverted creature would take pleasure in humiliating
children? You would think that when someone is molesting a child, he or
she would at least be smart enough to be kind. Her actions were designed
to humiliate, demean and shame her small victims.
I was just a little boy at that time and I did not really understand what
molestation meant. As far as I knew, I was just standing there following
the directions of an adult. Besides, what grownup would do something that
they might be sent to jail for? Therefore, whatever Mother Winters was
doing to us had to be a ‘right thing.’
It is amazing to me, how I saw absolutely nothing wrong, when ordered by
this woman to take off my clothes. I would just stand there with my
little pants down around my ankles, while she did whatever it was she
wanted to do. All along, I only thought she could get into trouble for
slapping me across the face or on the buttocks.
After awhile, most of the boys did not even bother to talk about what was
happening to them. I guess, because being ‘played with’ became a normal
thing to all of us. After a few years, a secretive silence seemed to set
in and no one openly talked about what was happening. Yet, sex became so
impersonal that many of the boys had masturbation contests to see who
could ejaculate the fastest. Pleasuring ones self by any means to achieve
orgasm became something enjoyable.
For sure, we will never forget what Mother Winters did to us. Those days
will be remembered forever and not in a pleasant way either.
What Mother Winter took from us can never be replaced. Many children,
both boys and girls, lost their childhood. We lost our innocence forever.
We have lost our ability to trust. We will never know the meaning of
giving love and worse yet, the ability to receive love.
Yes, Mother Winter, if I had to choose the one person in my life who made
the greatest impact on me, it would have to be you. I will not go so far
as to say that I hope you rot in hell. I will leave that decision up to
God himself.

during 1930 and possibly a little longer. My grandmother couldn't
afford to care for the children (2 girls as well) after my grandfather
died. I would love to see any pictures from this time period as, of
course, I have no pictures of my father from his childhood. If anyone
out there knows of the existence of these photos it would make my year.

Any orphanage in Cleveland,

1918-

Would like to find information on Charles Anthony Semprich,
Anthony William Semprich and Jane Semprich who were abandoned and placed
in orphanages in and around Cuyahoga County in Cleveland, Ohio between
the years 1918-1930. They were all babies at the time 6,4,and 2. Parents
were John Semprich and Mary. Grandmother Mary died during the 1918 Flu
Epidemic and John just up and left the babies never to be heard from
again. My grandmother's maiden name was Przysbylski and our last name
could have been spelled Semprowicz, Semproch, Semprock.
My dad Charles and Jane were born in Cleveland, Ohio and Uncle Andy born
in Rockville or New Haven Connecticut. Grandparents only stayed in
Connecticutt for a year and then moved back to Cleveland. My grandfather
eventually married shortly after the death of my grandmother. The babies
were forgotten and eventually ended up in the care of the state. We have
no information for the years that are missing. We don't even know the
names of the orphanges where they could have been. So if anyone remembers
them or had any contact at the time with them or could tell me names of
orphanges in the Cleveland area at the time it would be so greatly
appreciated. The years again are 1918-1930. Hoping to hear from
someone,Please

Looking for any information on a baby boy born 9/7/1933 at or
through the auspices of the Pacific Protective Society facility in
Oakland, CA to my mother, Elizabeth (Betty) Borland (age 18) and
(possibly) to George Freeman (age 20), both from Sacramento, CA. The baby
was named Robert Leland Borland. On the birth certificate, the father
named is listed as "dead." But he may NOT be the father.
On MY birth certificate 8 years later (1941), it is notated that a
previous child had been born alive but "is now dead." All other
records found indicate the birth but no death information. There is a
possibility the baby was adopted out by the "Society" and the
rest done to conceal the adoption for future inquiries. If you have any
information regarding this, your response would be greatly appreciated.

to 1948 are just a blur. Mostly not too good memories. In 1948 I was
sent to St. Joe's or "The Hut" as we called it. Some good
memories with a bunch of great guys. John DiGiacomo, Ed O'Mally,
Billy Watson, Joe Klein just to name a few. If any of you guys are out

My name is Reinhold. I just want to say that I never dreamed that I
would ever find others who had lived at St Michaels Orphange Hopewell New
Jersey. I lived there around 1959-1962. The pain I had in my heart have
to live in a place like that is beyond words. I hope that all the
children had found a family to love them. I so much would love to hear
from others who have gone through the same pain. I do think that the
healing can start if we can start to talk to each other about the life we
once shared by living in a place such as this

Hi,
I grew up in St. Joseph Hall, 735 Willoughby Ave. B'klyn., N.Y..
Every Summer we went to camp at St. Joseph's Villa in Shoreham,
N.Y.(Long Island). I still see the "FISH-TAIL CHURCH" when I
return to Shoreham Beach. I have fond memories & would like to
connect with other girls (now Women) from Joey's. I was using the
name Carmen Lorenzo at that time. My two sisters were there too. If
anyone wants to contact me feel free to do so.
I would love to attend a REUNION if there will be on soon.
I remember meeting Billy Ryan a guy who worked at the camp every Summer.
I saw him in 1992 at Shoreham. He married a teacher. I also saw a few
"Sisters of Charity, St. Vincent De Paul Order" on the beach.
They remembered me & called me a "Homing Pidgeon" lal...
There are apartment houses where St. Joseph Hall use to be but the
"Stone Wall" is still there.
I have soooooooooo many membries to share with anyone from Joey's. I
lived there from 1953 to 1971. My email address is

For years, I have been haunted by the
memory of this institution. My brother, Michael was 9 yrs. old, I was 5
yrs. old, my sister Karen was 3 yrs. old and my brother John was just a
little baby when we were placed there. The boys and girls were separated
of course and I only got brief glances of my older brother at meal times
and at church. I never saw my baby brother at all, except when my
grandparents would visit, then we all got to see each other. Before being
placed there , I had no idea what brutatity was. The abuse by the nuns
was atrocious. I and my siblings lived in fear every day. There's one
nun whom I will never forget. Her name was Sister Marie Philomenia. My
sister and I secretly called her Sister Marie Full of Mean. I could go on
and on about the barbaric treatment imposed on us by these alledged
people of God. I did have one saving grace while there, however. Her name
was Beth. I do believe she may have had a twin sister ( I can't
remember for sure but it does stick out in my memory for some reason).
She was one of the big girls, appox. 13 yrs. old. In the early evening
before bed, she would fuss over me, brush my hair and talk sweet to me. I
have thought of Beth many, many times over the years and have always
loved her and held her close to my heart. Beth, if by some miracle you
read this, I want you to know how grateful I was that you cared about me.
You made a lasting impression on my life. I will never forget you. Love
Forever, Linda

Looking for anyone who was with me and my 3 brothers & 1
sister at the Brook Farm Home in West Roxbury Massachusetts during 1948
through 1952.
It was a group foster home, 10, 15, 20 kids? I don't remember. It was
run by the Lutheran Church, but in charge of daily operations were Eva
& Henry Kogal with several live in adult helpers.
I was 5 when I first arrived there. My siblings names were: Edward,
Janet, Paul, Walter and me Ken.
I remember names like, Aunt Jane, Uncle John, Jean Stewart, Paul Stewart,
Laurie, Pip, Kippy & others that escape me right now.
I found the whole experience pleasant, no horror stories here. My older
brother & sister report the same.
I hope someone from that period at Brook Farm Home will read this. Hope
also you will e-mail me.

Reaching back through
the mist of Lost innocence
Where is this
beginning?
Here, I am revealing some long held memories of trusting an established
belief system and finally realizing that there were some truely evil
individuals, responsible for and in assisting in the development and well
being of young children.
I was actually 'raised', in the Orphanege from a baby till two
months past my eleventh birthday in 1963.........That was just after, I
was taken by a man named Mr Schaffer, to the American Musuem of Natural
History in New York City, to establish my ethnicity by an anthropolgist
named Dr. Shapiro.
He determined that I should be considered 'legally white' and
this 'solved ' a recurring problem of not being adopted by a
white family. Prior to this anthroprologocal ethnic assay, the Mother
Surperior would advise prospectiove adopting families of my questionable
ethnic background.
As a result of my ethnic 'purity' label, I was placed with an
italian catholic family with there own agenda. After they abused, beat
and humiliated me. They acused me of stealing 5 dollars and beat me
viciously, which left me mistrusting and physically scared me. They
successfully sired a child of there own; and I was shuttled off to a NJ
state half-way house in Burlington, NJ. As you might know from your own
personal this is the proverbial tip of that deceitful Iceberg of Life.
I am working at facing my memories and perhaps this will help others to
see that these things are worse than fiction...More will be revealed as I
become enabled by further thought.

Hi girls
I also was raised at ST.Joe's. I was a resident for 14yrs. I even
shared a bedroom with Kathy Danchak at one time. My name then was Lillian
Feliciano. I left to go live with my father in coney island with my
younger sister Milagros Feliciano. I am 53 now and had 6 kids(all grown
up now)and I now live in Florida. My sister Millie still lives in Bklyn.
and my other sister Socorra who also was raised in ST. Joe's lives in
Puerto Rico. Socorra's last name was Rivera at that time she was
married and had 2 kids. Millie never married and had 4 kids. I did get
married and had 3 girls and 3 boys My husband passed away 7 years ago so
I have a lot of time to think about my times at St.Joe's and the
girls I grew up with. I often wonder whats become of them. I have
recently tried to get in tough to find out that the home was torn down
and replaced with apartment buildings. I would love to get in touch with
my Best friens Regina Lutz other wise known as Regina Alamieda(her
married name) anyone that wants to keep in touch can reach me at my E
mail address lillyfell@earthlink.net Take care it's good to see that
we can still reminiss with eachother and that we are not alone.

Danchak, Carmen Lorenzo and Carolyn Johnson
I was at the home from 1956 to 1970 in sister Dian's group was the
last group that I was placed in I was 16 yrs. when I left with my younger
sister to go live with my father. I also remember the summers we went to
SHOREHAM in long island. The beautiful times on the beach,and every
sunday when our families would come down to visit us. we stayed in
cottages with at least 12 girls to each cottage with a counselor that
slept at the end of the cottage,and a nun in the small room with her own
bathroom,while we all managed to share one. and how we used to eat in the
main building for lunch and dinners. The races we had and games we
played. Movies we would see. And how some of us would walk to Little
Flower(another home in long island)along the beach and the summer dances
when boys were invited.camping,swimming. I remember it all. I look back
on my childhood now and I realise that we kids at St. Joe's had it
better then most of the kids on the outside. We got to go to the
circuis,the ice capades,madison squar garden for the shows,movies and
more. Many of the kids that I met on the outside never went to any of
these placeses except the movies. Thank god for St. Joseph and the nuns
and the many organizations that helped keep them going for so many years
and helped so many children. Without them who knows how many of us kids
would be alive today, or even have gotten a decent education.

cunningham orphanage
Ill

I am looking for Anyone that may have any info about a baby
girl Possibly with the ZIKE name being put in cunningham orphanage in
Illinois. She was born in 1938 and adopted at age 3 so was a baby when
put in orphanage. She was adopted at age 3 by Nelson and Vera Barger of
Urbana Ill. The baby ZIKE was took from Mattoon Illinois ( Coles
County)when took to orphanage. Name was possibly LINDA LOU ZIKE at birth.
Am looking for relatives. This Orphanage no longer exsists, does any one
know how I could obtain records from there ?
Jackie Tarantella, jtarantella@hotmail.com,

St Michael's
I am trying to find anyone who remembers a James Raymond or
Mary Catherine Lane. They were placed in this orphanage until a family
member realized they were there and sent them a way to escape (so to
speak). My father has passed away but the stories he would tell regarding
the treatment of children was awful. He would always talk about one nun
that he would have loved to have come across when he got older just to
prove he made something of himself. He said they were belittled and
abused and that people on the outside knew of these events and did
nothing. I want to know why the records of the children placed there
cannot be released to families. These people who suffered at the hands of
the people who were supposed to be a firm believer in God deserve to be
revealed to the public. If you abuse your child today you are on the
front page of the news. Why should these people be remembered as good
people when they were nothing more than a place to abuse and emotionally
terrorize children. I have looked on every website and like always when
there is a cover up there is no information to be found. I would
appreciate any information I could recieve. My father did reveal that he
had several friends and he died at age 73 in 2000. I don't know if
anybody can help but anything is worth a try. He was the greatest person
I knew and my life was the best thanks to him. This is for him. He faced
everyday with a laugh and courage but the pain he suffered should never
have happened. He was approximately 10 or so when he went in and I
don't know how many years he was there. Thank you.

Hi Bonnie, I really didn't
exspect to hear back from anybody so soon. I'm glad that I did.
It's good to hear from you. I miss those days back at St. Joes too. I
had good times and bad times their. I prefer to think of the good times.
My only real bad times were when sister Diane was in charged of the high
school division and when she took over the whole place. She ran it down
to the ground(thats just my opinion). I still can't believe that they
closed the place down. I remember Rosita Bourbon and her sister Lillian
Bourbon, Debbra Hodges, Caemen Flores, Mary Balinni, Maria Gonzoles,
Nellie Gonzoles, Carmen Perez, LuLu Lorenzo, Bernidett Petters, Martha
and Anna Mureal, Terry Gillis and lots more I just can't think of all
their names right now, other wise I'd be going on and on forever. So
Bonnie hows life been treating you? I hope good. Its been pretty fair to
me. I never had to really work hard. I Live hear in sunny Florida. Have
my own home(one family) 2 cars and still 2 sons living with me. I guess
that a gods send because then I really be alone. My oldest girl Jessica
lives in bufflo NY and my other 2 girls live in the state of Georga, and
my youngest boy lives hear in Tampa Fl. I miss them very much. My
youngest is 22yrs. and the oldest is 34yrs. Do you have any kids? I would
like to know whats happen to you guys and how life had been. I know that
when I left the home I had a hard time makeing friends. I was called the
white puerto rican girl, because I couldent speak spanish and they said
that I acted like a white girl. I lived in puerto rico for a year and
learned to speak spanish so that I could talk to my mother who
coulden't speak english. Now I hardly get to speakl spanish. Not
many spanish families hear where I live. My kids dont speak spanish but
they understand a little. and thats because when my husband and I fought
we did it in spanish so they wouldn't know what we were fighting
about.

Hi Debra,
I was reading on of your letters and yes I remember Elise Vasquez, (tall
skinny feckles on her nose, she also had an older sister but I can't
remember her name) Evelyn and Elise Moreno (sisters) they also had a
little sister who's name is Lillian Moreno, (who was at the home),
Maria and Nellie Gonzales (sisters), Mary Belini, Debra Hodges, Angie, I
remember a kathy but I am not sure if it's your sister. Me and my
sister Margie always hunged out with Elise Vasquez, Evelyn Moreno, Elise
Moreno and Nellie Gonzales. In the late 80s early 90s I use to bump into
Nellie Gonzales. At the time she was working in a meat market where she
and I lived. Her children was going to the same school as my children. As
a matte of fact when her daughter became a teenager she was hanging out
with my son (Hector) who is now 28 years old. I have sad news to tell you
but Evelyn Moreno passed away. Elise her I hear stuck up sister married a
wealthy man and lives in Long Island. I heard that Evelyn used to call
her but she did not want to bother with her. Sad, right.
I moved out of my old neighborhood and lost contact with Nellie.
She's the one who told me that Shoreham was going to be a nuclear
plant. I would like to hear from you to talk about the times in the home.
PS for those who is reading this my name is Carmen Medina and my sisters
name are Margie Medina, Migdalia Medina and Angie Medina.

To Carmen Lorenzo
I was reading your e-mail to Lillian Feliciano and was laughing because I
do remember when naming the mountains. Chocolate mountain lead to the
camping site. When we went camping we would run down at night and go
swimming while the counselors made out. It was lots of fun. I also
remember the big rock. we use to climb it. One day we discover by the
wooded area of the beach some steps made of log a group of us and the
counselor went up to discover a house a lady came out and offered us
water. We laughed because she was an elderly lady and we was saying that
she look like a witch. I remember the softball area, at the end it had a
change with a sign saying keep out. That's where we use to go through
to go camping and if you kept going the trail would lead you to the road
where the entrance to Shoreham is.
Me and my sisters were at the home from 1963-1970.
My name is Carmen Medina and my sisters name are Margie Medina, Migdalia
Medina Angie Medina.
Hope to hear from you ASAP.
Hi, Me and my sisters also grew up in St. Joseph Hall and have fond
memories. I do remember Shoreham and it was fun. You mentioned a Billy. I
remember a counselor name Chickie who had a brother Billy and they had a
house down the road near the entrance of Shoreham. I also remember the
church on the small hill near the road. right next to cottage 9 and 10.
Boy do I have so many memories. We are like family because even though we
talk to people about our experience at the home, no one will understand
more than us. That's one thing we all have in common. I would like to
get together with Delia, Kathy, Debra and you and your sisters.
My name is Carmen Medina and my sisters name are Margie Medina, Migdalia
Medina and Angie Medina
I like to hear from you soon.
Hope this is what you meant.

1926 - 1943
I am hoping that someone who may have been in St.
Dominic's between 1926 & 1943 will email me. My mother and her 3
siblings were all brought there by their father who didn't speak
english and couldn't provide for them any longer. Their mother was
sick with TB and passed away shortly after they were admitted into St.
Dominic's. I never met anyone from my mother's side of the
family and was told by her that after her mother died, relatives raised
them. It was a lie that I couldn't understand until I read some of
the postings about that place and the cruel inhumane treatment that was
given. I managed to trace down a cousin in NY that was told a few more
things by her mother, my mother's sister, so I wrote to St
Dominic's and they mailed me back 33 pages of information on all of
them. I know this was a long time ago, but if there is anyone that was
there during that time or maybe had a parent that was there, maybe we
could share some thoughts. I just need someone to talk to about this and
maybe get some closure on it. The names of the people in age order are:
Mary, Helen (my mom), Stanley, & Sophie. Hope to hear from

ADOPTEE SEARCHING FOR
SISTER
I was born, I think, June 12, 1946. I
grew up in Cabin John/Glen Echo, Maryland. At first, at age 15, I
thought I had found all the information but I was wrong. I have memories
of being in what seems to be like an orphanage. It was like out of the
westerns on tv. I can recall looking at this lady who is holding a child
who looks like me. I look past them and can see at the top of the stairs
a hallway that goes to the left and to the right. I can also see doors
to rooms.
At the bottom of the stairs there is a hallway to the left and the right
and that is it. The only information I have about my sister is that her
name is Linda. I believe we are twins. I weighed 2 lbs and 3 oz at
birth and was born at 1:23 a.m. I remember seeing my birth record #
which is 08498.
If you were born between 1945-47 and your name is Linda. If you have
questions about your background and you believe you have a twin, please
contact me. You may contact me for a photo but please, if you have a
photo of yourself, go ahead and send it first. I am Cherokee/Scot-
Irish/Jewish.
