Trying to locate my 93 year old mother’s birth family. She is named Mary Liesman Davis (prior to WWII her adopted last name was spelled ’Leisman". Adoptive parents were Walter Herman Leisman and Nell Frances Hampton Liesman. We’re told adoption was in Cheney‚ WA in 1931 which is Spokane County in Washington State. I’m her daughter and just received 23 and Me DNA results. My closest maternal DNA match is a second cousin named David Duty born 1961. He currently resides in Portland‚ OR and is from Whitefish‚ MT originally. Results also show I’m of Irish and British descent with some German.. Western European with a tiny bit of Italian and Latvian. My mom’s adopted mother had a physician brother with last name Hampton. He may have arranged a private adoption for one of his patients. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
