My mom was born May 1925 in Natchez, Mississippi. A Mrs Holmes arranged her adoption in September 1925.. Mrs Holmes was from Hattiesburg.. have not been able to find a birth certificate or adoption records. Her son, a lawyer in Hattiesburg, told my mom years ago that all records were destroyed in a fire.. I recently had a DNA test and am getting dozens of hints from around the Hattiesburg area: 2nd and 3rd cousins. Dudley and Irene Moore adopted my mom in September 1925. |
