A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Missouri Who Chose To Be Featured
1801. Dsyeaton : We looked for decades for a missing cousin. We found his sibling several years ago via cousinconnect and him this year (2019) via DNA, about two weeks before their birth mother our aunt died.
She was born in 1960 and adopted in FL. He was born in 1958, adopted in CA, and lives in UT.
At our aunt’s funeral, neighbors told us that in her last months, she told them she had children. Three or four children. Neighbors have told us that the aunt (born 1936) became pregnant in high school (1950-1955 if this is true) or at age 17 (1953-1954 if this is true) and was sent to FL to have the baby.
We do not know much: mother’s maiden name, if listed: Anderson, birth state of mother: MA, she was very tall and thin, loved animals and dogs, Danish, German, English ethnicity. We have done DNA on ancestrydna and 23andme.
If this is you....or you think it could be you because part of the story matches...please do DNA testing so that we can see if we match!
And we are unsure why there were said to be: three or four children. Could it have been twins, which run in our family? Or is there another child with a different birth year and possible different birth and adoption state? These birth years are only guesses...it conceivably could have been any time after her birth in 1936 as maybe a teen (1949 or before?) to menopause (maybe before 1986?) but most likely in the 1950s or 1960s. Do any of these guesses for you or someone you know? We are a dozen cousins looking for decades!
1802. Ayoung0494 : Searching for my birth parent(s) and/or biological sister. I don’t have much info. I was born in St. Louis, MO and in foster care from birth until I was 3 years old when my adoption was finalized.
1803. Hbell : My twin brother and I were born in either Jefferson City or St. Louis Missouri in 1994 along with our older brother. Our names given at birth were Elijah, John, and mine was either Jasmine or pearlene. (I was never specifically told which of the 2 names I was given) we were told we were 3 out of a quite a few more siblings up to 10 or more. We were let to believe our last name was Masterson. It would be great to find my siblings.
1806. Mesheumaker : Birth mother’s maiden name: Nina Estelle Romine
Born in Kansas City, Missouri 1955 adopted from Florence Crittenton Home
I found half sister and brother and was told there was at least one more born after me.

Hospital birth certificate says parents are Mr and Mrs Charles Lesslie Johnson. My husband was the 13th child born to his parents.
