I’m doing this research for my mom. An obituary in the Washington DC Evening Star dtd May 10‚ 1947 says my mom who was listed as Mary Louise Hill was the loving daughter of Mary Royal who died May 8‚ 1948. My mom said she can recall her biological father David Edwin/Edward Hill used to call her adoptive parents (Gilbert and Bertha Royal) house every week. I asked mom if she can recall when those calls stopped. She said sometime when she was maybe 15 or so. So this would have been approximately the mid 1960s. A cousin in her 90s said Mary Royal and David Hill weren’t married‚ and other fam said Mary “Punch” followed David from somewhere. A recent DNA match has linked my mom to a grand or great grandson of David Hill‚ but I can’t figure out if it’s David Hill born 1911 or his father David Hill born @ 1888 to 1895. My mom would love to know and meet and living biological family she has. Mom’s adoptive parents died when mom was 40 and her only brother also adopted died when mom was 47. I would love to help my mom connect with her family as she is now 78 years old. Thank you. Charlene
