My Grandmother was an orphan of the Montana State orphanage in/about 1911 as a newborn. She was Fostered by 3 other families and they continued to take her back to the orphanage. In 1915 she was adopted by Fred O. Hess and his wife Essie. The Hess's wrote letters back and forth throughout the years to the Hawks which were the Superintendents of the Montana Children's Home Finding Society for many years. My Grandmother told us that she thought she was part Indian, possibly Crow. Her mother may have been white.
I wished we knew more about where my Grandmother was from. She was born in Shodair Hosp. Her birth certificate is very sketchy, showing no fathers name and just a mothers name of Vivian Smith. If anyone can suggest or help, I would deeply appreciate it.
