A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within District of Columbia Who Chose To Be Featured
706. Gibbszg11 : My father (deceased) was adopted in 1959 by Rachel Mills. His name prior to adoption was David Mullins or Mullens (not sure of the spelling). He was born in Washington DC. Looking for any relatives of his birth family.
707. Mbskipper4 : I am looking for my biological family. I was adopted from Catholic Services in DC about 1956. I was born 2/22/55. I believe my birth mother is Italian and her parents were 1st generation Americans.
DC Social Services did find my birth mother 4 years ago, but at that time, my birth mother was not interested. That is fine, I would like to know if I have siblings, Aunts, Uncles and what my lineage is. Also health information if good.
708. Minnechik62 : Looking for a set of boy/girl twins.
Taken from bio family around 7-8 years of age. Possible in Maryland or DC area. Had rhyming first names but am told even at that age‚ their names were changed so am thinking they were adopted rather than just put into foster care. Please respond if this rings a bell with anyone.
710. The_Darkness : Good day to you all
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...
I truly hope you see this...
