[or-roots] Portland Area Orphanages c. 1923

[Marsha BradleyLuthy]

a clue, a few years ago tried to research adoptions.  I found at the
archives there was books of all judges work and they were required to
validate all cases.  So adoptions were listed in that book with all other
cases.  If you know approxamite date of adoptio you can track it
in that manner ? hope that helps
