A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Minnesota Who Chose To Be Featured
496. RichPeterson1972 : Fathers name is Neal Richard Peterson, born January 12, 1950, St. Paul,Minnesota. Grandmother’s maiden name is Marcela Marjorie Amiot, born May 2nd, 1929, Polk, Minnesota. Neal was adopted out. Father is unknown.
499. Adoption1234 : My husband was adopted in Minneapolis by Wallace and Lois Skelton near his birthdate on May 15, 1952 through The Lutheran Social Services. The agency inferred to them that his birth mother was a young teenager. Kevin has blond hair and blue eyes. His adoptive parents have both passed away and he now feels he can see if there is any contact information or other records that could satisfy his desire to know more about his birth parents.
500. Samanthaschmit97 : My father was born on June 30th 1977 in Shakopee Minnesota‚ he was adopted shortly after birth. Lutheran Social Services did the adoption. When he was born he was given a first name with no middle or last name. I don’t have the information on his birth name but his adoptive name is Karl.
We don’t know much about his biological parents except the mother was described as 5 feet and 5 inches tall‚ the father was just described as "tall". They were both 18 when he was born. They would be in their 60s now.
I also found out a little information about their parents (my dads grandparents).
My maternal great grandparents were both 42 at the time my dad was born and would be about 86 now.
My paternal great grandma was 37 at the time my dad was born and would be about 76 now.
My paternal great grandfather was 40 at the time of my dads birth and would be about 84 now.
