I am looking for a sibling born prior to 1940. Dorothy Rita Casey (deceased) is the mother’s name. I was born on September 1, 1940. My birth mother was18 years old. According to my original birth certificate, there was another child born prior to me and was still living. Birth Mother was living in Jamaica, Queens, New York at the time of my birth but was sent to Lakewood Ohio to give birth. I was born at Lakewood Hospital in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. I was adopted by by my birth mothers older half sibling Francis (Frank R. Casey and Emma Theresa Lloyd Casey). My birth mother returned to Jamaica Queens New York after my birth and continued to live there until 1942 when she married Raymond Klitzke. Birth mother moved to Virginia for a time and in 1958 she settled in Merced, California. She and her husband remained in Merced until her death in 1990. Dorothy had children together. Dorothy Rita Casey had ties to Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Her elder half sisters Cecilia and Mary Rohman were nurses in Jamaica, Queens, New York and work at Mary Immaculate Hospital in Jamaica, Queens, New York and may have volunteered at The New York Foundling Hospital. It is possible my sibling was born at either hospital. The family was poor and may have had to turn to the Foundling Hospital for assistance with the sibling. I have made contact with the birth mothers niece whom she kept in contact with and she was not aware of any children. She has given me photos and as much information as possible. I want to find my sibling and any other family members. My sibling could have been born sometime between 1934 and 1939. I believe it may have been closer to 1937 because census records state my biological mother completed her first year of High School. Looking for another child born to Dorothy Rita Casey. Thank you,
