[or-roots] Redirection of Big Cat discussion

[Kith-n-Kin]

This may seem too simple, but have you ruled out that she went with her father? 
 
I saw that Layne gave you some clues regarding the archives, maybe that will help.
 
By the way, just as a further example -- my great-grandmother (Lottie Parks) married and had two daughters
by Matt Reid. They were in eastern Oregon in 1870 before the children were born. By 1880, Lottie has
married my great-grandfather (Henry Laramie Palmer) and they are in Whitman County, Washington, with my
grand-aunt, Nettie, born in Idaho Territory, 1878. 
 
Where were the girls?  I don't know, but the presumption is that they were living with the paternal
grandparents or siblings, but I haven't found them yet. A few years later they were together with Lottie
in Lincoln (then Benton) County. The eldest, Mollie Reid, actually married her mother's brother-in-law,
Henry's brother Edwin.  
 
So--do you know anything about the father, other than he didn't die at the prison?  Have you checked out
his siblings?
 
What is this child's name? Maybe we can help.

It would have been in either Umatilla County or Morrow County as that is where she was living in 1917.
Someone on the list found her and her husband with only one child in an Oregon State Census that I think
was on ancestry.com.  I am only assuming that she was put up for adoption because my grandmother never
told anyone about having this oldest daughter or even that she had been married before my grandfather came
along.  Her entire family clammed up about the little girl and some told a story that she was murdered by
her father and that he was hanged in Walla Walla State prison.  I have proved that this is not true.  So
my final thought is that the big secret was that she was given up for adoption and that is why I can find
no record of her death or of a burial or anything.  She just seemed to drop off the earth at the age of
about 3.

>If I can segue into a question that I am hoping someone on the list can help me with?  Does anyone know
if there were any official adoptions of children in the period of 1916 to about 1919?  I am looking for a
sister of my mother who was most likely put up for adoption when her mother got divorced. Dale<

Where?  There were adoptions (legal) at that time, but (a) not everywhere, and (b) not always, especially
if the child went to a relative.

Take a look at this: http://www.uoregon.edu/~adoption/index.html

I suggest that if this was an Oregon placement, the people at UofO should be able to help you, in terms of
where to look for these records.

AND, by the way -- GO 'CATS! Beat the Huskys! Beat the Beavs! Beat the Cougs! Beat the Ducks!
