Mary (née Johnson) and Joseph Charles FADDEN gave birth to Mary FADDEN on April 7‚ 1905 per Saint Paul‚ Minnesota birth records. However‚ she was in what we think was a “mother’s home” or home for unwanted children‚ by the Minnesota June 1905 Census. The Fadden’s also had a daughter who was 10 years older‚ named Marie‚ however the story told to me was that Marie’s parents didn’t raise her and she didn’t typically live with her parents‚ but bounced from her grandparents to various aunts & uncles homes. Mary FADDEN became Charlotte Theodora Moffat (adoptee’s name) and she is my maternal grandmother. She was raised by the Christina and Thomas Moffat of Saint Paul‚ Minnesota. Neither I nor my mom ever knew of Charlotte’s “adoption”‚ if there actually was one…we don’t think Charlotte knew either. Nor am I sure if it was formal and legitimate! I have not been able to find any adoption paperwork‚ however I don’t really know where/how to look for it. The way I even found out about this situation was via my DNA test on Ancestry.com. A cousin connection was made with Karen Svendsen Notley Johnson (who has since sadly passed away).
