SULLIVAN /
O'SULLIVAN
TERRE HAUTE /VIENCENNES
INDIANA
EARLY 1900'S
I am looking for information regarding my Father, Eugene Victor
Sullivan and his sister, Elizabeth Sullivan from the early 1900's
Eugene was placed in an orphanage in Viencennes at about 5 years of age.
Elizabeth was about 2 years older when she was placed in Saint Anns in
Terre Haute. Children were told both parents were dead, but registry
records indicate that at least the father was living at the time,
although he might have been in a hospital.
Their father's name was possibly Dan or Daniel. Have info on Eugene after
grown and married but nothing on Elizabeth.
I would appreciate any information.

Margaret
McGoff/McGaff/McGough/McGeough
Ogdensburg, New York,
USA
1862 to 1872
I am looking for any information regarding Margaret
McGoff/McGaff. She was my great-great grandmother. Her story is that
she, her parents and two brothers came over from Ireland during the
potatoe famine. Her parents died enroute and she and her brothers were
separated. The next listing I find regarding her is that she ended up in
Ogdensburg, New York working as a servant for F.N. Burt who resided at 21
New York Avenue. He operated a tannery. The next notation regarding her
is that she was married in Notre Dame Church in Ogdensburg to a Joseph
Robichaud in 1872. According to my grandmother her grandmother Margaret
spent a lot of her life agonizing over the fate of her brothers who she
never saw or heard from again. I am looking to see where Margaret and/or
her brothers may have been placed being that they were orphans for her to
end up in Ogdensburg. Margaret was young enough when her parents died
that she didn't know the date of her birth and had trouble remembering
her brother's names. Anyone with any information please contact
me.

Gerson/Gersen
Brooklyn/New York City/New York, USA
1906 or
1910 to about 1928
I am looking for any information regarding my grandmother Irene
Gerson (her mother's name was Olga Mary Marcus). Irene's mother died
when she was very young she had a sister named Sally and their father
left the children. The family decided to take in Sally but my
grandmother was placed in an orphanage. At some point a Mary Eisner took
her in to have her help around the house, etc., she had wanted to adopt
her but the Marcus/Gerson (we are not sure which) would not allow her to
be adopted. My grandmother told my mom and the rest of her family that
she was born September 25, 1910 but my grandmother's social security
information indicates her date of birth as 9/25/1906. Anyone with any
information regarding Irene Gerson or her family please contact me as
soon as possible! Thanks again!

Vetters
Cincinnati Orphan Asylum, Cincinnati, Ohio
about 1857- 1864
I am searching for information about Cincinnati Orphans Asylum
and for our ancestor Charles Vetters.
Charles was born in Oct 1856. He was placed in the orphanage in infancy
after, it is said, losing both parents. He was adopted at age 8, so
approximately 1864.
I am searching for records as to his parents names and perhaps where in
Germany they had emmigrated from in 1852.
Anyone have any ideas as to where I can look for this
information???

HAZLEWOOD or
HAZELWOOD
Louisiana Methodist Orphanage in Ruston,
LA
1911-1918?
I am looking for information on my grandfather, Norman Hazlewood.
He and a brother, Sidney and a sister, Ruth were left at the Methodist
Orphange in Ruston, LA on Feb, 21, 1911. My grandfather did not ever tell
us much about his life in the orphanage. I do know that the orphange paid
for him to go to Louisiana Tech. His mother put the children in the
orphange because her husband was accidentally killed and I guess she had
no way to care for them. Any information would be helpful. I do believe
the Orphange still exists but it may be under another name.
Thanks in advance to any who respond.

Lacomb
Hibbing, Minnesota, St. Louis county
1919
I'm looking for some information on the son of Marie Lacomb and
John Larson. Their son was born on December 11, 1919 in Adams Hospital
located in Hibbing, MN. I'm guessing that Marie gave her son up for
adoption or left him some where, because she was an unwed mother. Plus
he was not listed with her in the 1920 census. When she had my
grandfather she had listed having two children and two were still living.
I'm thinking she might have gave her son to some one to be rasied. Any
help would be wonderful.

My grandfather, Charles Fred Eller, said he was raised in an
orphanage or foster care after his parents died. He was born in 1892 in
Barrington, Illinois but never gave any specifics. He never talked about
the past. Charles thought he had several older siblings but didn't know
their names. He also thought his parents were John and Rena
Eller.

KENT COUNTY, MD. near ROCK HALL
18?? till 1888 or1889
Seeking info. about BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HULL, my husband's grandfather.
He was an orphan, raised by WILLIAM and ELLIE THOMAS on a plantation in
KENT COUNTY, MD. near ROCK HALL, MD. The 1880 MARYLAND census shows he
was 7 years old in 1880 in the home of the THOMAS family, and that he was
born in PENNSYLVANIA. The story that has been passed down is that his
mother died in childbirth and that his father had died before he was
born. At age 17 he was sent to Omaha, Nebraska, to work. He was married
to MARIE FITZPATRICK from Churdan, Iowa about 1900. He died in Omaha in
1957. Who were his parents? What connection did he have with the THOMAS
family? Thanks in advance to anybody who can help.
