I was born Evelyn Johnston on August 5, 1952 in Armijo, NM which is an area now part of Southwest Albuquerque.. Mother’s name listed as Ida Johnston. Delivered by A Doctor Clayton. 3 siblings. Adopted at about 13 or 14 months old I believe. In the early to mid 70’s, found an address for a Clayton Johnston in a 1950’s Albuquerque phone book in the area that had been called Armijo. I drove to the address. There was a "For Sale" sign out front. I called the realtor. Clayton was in a hospital in Albuquerque. His wife who I believe was named Ida, had gone to stay in Arizona or Utah it seems with one of 3 sons. The other 2 sons lived elsewhere. One had the name Clay or Clayton. I sent a message to Clayton Johnston through the realtor. He said he knew nothing. I still think it was a bit of a coincidence and not sure I believe it as it was the only Johnston family I could find an address for in 1952 in the Armijo area and they had 3 children. Since Armijo was just a small farming type community in the valley outside Albuquerque in the 1950’s, I find it odd I was delivered by a Dr. Clayton (father?). There is a record of an Ida Estelle and a Clayton S. Johnston marrying in 1931 in Bernalillo County. Don’t know if this helps since some adoptee and mothers names as well as birth dates in the past were altered so adoptees could not find their parents. I would like to know my nationality and something about my family and my kids would like to know about their family medical history and ancestors on their mother’s side. I would not mind knowing who my brothers and/or sisters are also.
