A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Kentucky Who Chose To Be Featured
1021. Kamblue : Wishing for Larry Downs of Louisville, KY, or any of his immediate family members to contact me. He was born in 1949, 5’8", slight build, worked at the Galt House in the late 1970s. (Please note that I already know where he lives and how to contact him, I just need someone on the other end to contact me instead.)
1022. Sheilastevens74 : My brother he was born to RoseMary Middleton not quite sure of birthday i think he was born in January 70 or 71 his birth name was Russell Clinton Middleton. Possibly born in Harlan Ky, lived in Michigan for a short period of time. His grandparents were Nancy and Edward Ashbough.
1023. Mark_T : I was born on May 18th, 1961, in McCreary County, Kentucky.
Shortly thereafter, I was adopted by David R. and Norma J. Thomas, of Fountain City, Indiana.
I’d like to know more about the circumstances of my birth, including any information regarding my biological parents.
As I’ve recently learned, there was no hospital in the county in 1961, so it’s likely I was born at home, delivered by a mid-wife. (How cool is that?)
1024. Jewel1976 : His is joshua fernando david Mendoza this took place in greensburg ky my son is 21 now he was born June 28 1999 my name is jewel Mendoza the lady that was in charge of the adoption was patsy burris also of Greensburg ky I have seen my son sence be was 7 years old
1025. KEM1 : I am searching for my daughter, born August 9, 1978, in Louisville, Ky. I placed her for adoption through Catholic Charities. I want her to know that I have never had a day that I have not thought of her. I would like to find her and I hope that she would like to know me, too.
1026. Boundsee : Looking for grandmothers sibling‚ likely deceased‚ and seeing if any other family members are on here looking for them as well. My grandma was born in 1937 to the Theisz family in Amelia OH. She lived her life as an only child but I matched with someone on Ancestry.com in 2018 that indicates she had to have had a sibling and my match is either the sibling or siblings child. The person on Ancestry has not responded to messages for years. Believe that my my grandma's parents likely had kid while early 1930's when married or even possibly they had twins in 1937 and maybe secretly gave one up? The family was from Newport Kentucky/Cincinnati OH region.
1030. Ldstx1961 : I am a female adoptee, born 11/7/61 in Lexington, KY ... supposedly at St. Josephs hospital. I think My birth mother was 25 years old and stayed in Lexington with her sister to give birth. I believe my birth father was military. I was adopted as an infant by Thomas H. and Ann R. Streeter.
1033. Dominacinereus1252 : The mother was around 13 years old at the time and gave birth on the way back to Florida from Ohio. Name given was possibly Mary Thomas‚ and she was from Florida and may have lived in Rockledge at the time. She mentioned that it was a clinic she gave birth at‚ but I’m looking into other places as well.
I have DNA tests on most all dna testing sites‚ so we would match on them. Please message me because I can’t look through any matches myself. Contact me.
1034. BeStokes : My name is Bethany Stokes(maiden name - Waddell), and I am 35 years old. I was born in Montgomery County Kentucky, and the town was either Hope or Mount Sterling. I do not know the name of the hospital, but the closed adoption was handled by Hope Hill Children’s Home. I was told the staff named me Crystal, for the 2 weeks, I spent with them. My birth mother was around 19, according to my non- identifying paperwork.
1035. Josephwertzler : Im looking for my birth brother mothers name Ruth L Wagers fathers name Mack Wagers sr his birth name is Clifford Wagers was born 1978 in kentucky scott county if any one has any leads would like to know them
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
