Placing agency was Lutheran Children’s Friend Society (Lutheran Social Service). Most likely birthdate is 17 Mar 1965. Birth mother’s last name is Johnson. Unsure of bio dad’s name or what was put on the birth certificate. St Patrick’s day 1965 in Minneapolis was a huge blizzard.
304. Tabitha0911 : My dad Monroe was stationed in San Diego California with the US Marines in either 1973-1975 (?). He had claimed that he met a woman while in the marines‚ who became pregnant with his child. The only name that was ever mentioned was Jacqueline “Jackie”. My grandmother Ola had a picture of this little girl it was black and white‚ and on the bottom it said Jacqueline “Jackie” Morris. I cannot remember for sure but she was around the age of 2 or 3 with dark hair‚ & I believe had a dress on with a crochet shawl on‚ if I remember correctly. My dad was from southern Illinois at the time of his entry‚ although born in Caruthersville‚ MO. He enlisted into the Marine Corps at 17-18yrs of age. My dad has passed and I have no further information. I’ve included his Marine photo and hope that this may trigger a response.

I am searching for my birth parents... The information I’ve obtained thus far is they are of Romanian/Moldova/Germany/Hungarian decent. I’ve found out that a family immigrated to the US and their last names are ‘Schmidt/Schmied/Beglau/Kunusch/Stepanov’.
I also found out that there may have been another family that might have immigrated to Canada/USA and their last names are ‘Schwarz/Welty/Hamman/Mader/Hümer(Haters)/Black/Blacksmith/Smith/Smythe/Krumpholz’.... I am on Family tree DNA as well I uploaded to gedmatch as well...

309. Darlenemccluskey : Hi my name is Darlene.. I was born in Hoboken New Jersey in the late 60s.
I am desperately searching for my biological father, who was adopted as an infant or toddler. I am not sure of his true name..
My father was adopted as an infant or toddler.
His birth mothers name was Helen Bonaskiwich born 1913.
My biological father: A Possibility his name being Peter Milano or Lou Gallo perhaps changed at Birth to his adopted parents name. My fathers mother name was for sure Helen Bonaskiwich from Allentown Pennsylvania. Possibly my fathers name Pete Milano born late 1930s to late 1940s. Could be 100% wrong on name might be a name i mever heard of.
My fathers mother whom i never got to meet Helen Bonaskiwich was born 1913 and passed away 1977. If any of these name seems familiar can you please contact me. Thank you. Also on (ancestry.com) shows that I have a relative by the name of Jennifer black, Joshua Williamson, and a half sister Christine gallo.
My birth father might have had two other siblings that also were adopted at Birth by his mother Helen Bonaskiwich without ever meeting or knowing one another.
He was born either in New York City, Brooklyn NY, Pennsylvania Connecticut or Florida New Jersey or Delaware.
My grandparents Helen for sure and Pete Milano owned a musical bar called the Milano cafe back in the 1940s-1950s in Allentown P.A.
My father was adopted and renamed. Ty Darlene
