DanielMerandi
My name is Daniel Eric Merandi. I was born as, possibly, Eric Daniel Klingaman. I was born on Portland Oregon June 12, 1945. One of my sister’s, who I just learned of, was abandoned in a hospital after birth by my mother, Lela Baker Orton Klingaman Merandi. This sister was born as Verna but her name was changed. Verna may have tried to contact me about 20 years ago. She called a relative of mine, thinking it was me. That relative informed me over a decade later and did not remember her name not did he write down a phone number. I have since found other siblings via a DNA test. Verna was born in 1942 in or around Caldwell idaho and adopted by a local minister and his wife. I would really like to find my sister. Contact my daughter, April Merandi Williams if anyone may have information. Also, I was adopted by Lela’s second husband in Michigan1963, shortly before I left for the Navy. The adoption was a formality as my legal name and the name Lela used for me, which was on my license etc, were different and the Navy needed it sorted before I could enlist. I enlisted the day after I graduated high school, at 17. Lela and my adopted dad were often cruel, favoring my brother Nick who was a full biological child of Lela and my adopted dad. I also spent about two years in an orphanage in the Portland Oregon area. Lela also abondoned one other child who I have recently found and been in contact with. Her name was Mary Vaniece Klingaman at birth.
