Where do I find Adoption records US
« on: Thursday 02 February 06 15:44 GMT (UK) »
I've still had no joy in locating any adoption records for Minneapolis,I have E-mailed,written etc and had no response from anyone.Tried various links on Web,History sites,all dead ends.
I am looking for an adoption that took place over 100 years ago(1890's),most sites say there are records but how do I locate them?Huh
Please please is there someone out there that can put me on the right track,or at least tell me if I'm wasting my time.
I'll add a few details just in case;
Thomas Kemp Polley b.1885 (1st quarter) Pancras England.
He was with his mother Bertha in a home for mothers and children,where she had his sister Aug 1889.They were under the name of Porter,as they were not allowed to use their real names or discuss ther circumstances.
Adopted through Harriett Walker who ran the home (& who was one of founders of Bethany Home Adoption)somewhen late 1889.
Correspondance we have from Harriett Walker refers to Thomas Polley as Harry Porter.
Ever hopefull for a lead
