A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Rhode Island Who Chose To Be Featured
166. 1965Ramona : My birth mother’s name was Diane P. Carufel, I found her in 1991 but she had passed away. Info from adoption agency said my father was 21 at the time of my birth (11/20/65), the youngest of 2 sons, born and raised in Texas. He had joined the Navy after high school and I think he must have been stationed here in R.I. Adoption agency records indicate he was of ’austrian/bohemian’ heritage and Protestant. He was 6’1" with dark hair and blue eyes. Vibrant, confident and excelled in sports.

168. JT143xo : Hi, my name is Jaime Tierney.. my biological last name was Drury, & I am looking for any information on my sister who was born in Providence, RI to our mother, Dorothy Virginia Schobel, & given the name Kelly Sean Schobel. Our mother had 4 children in all, & the first 3 were put up for adoption myself, Kelly, & our sister, Dee Dee (whom I’m already in contact with)... all of these adoptions were conducted right here in our home state. Since being adopted, both Dee Dee & myself stayed right here in RI, raised here, & continue to live here in state, so I would like to assume Kelly & her adopted family, are not too far either. Thanks!!
169. Jeannielacoste : I am looking for my fathers biological parents. He was adopted at birth I believe. He also had 5 sisters (older than him) who were adopted by different people possibly at birth also. My fathers adopted parents were Lloyd and Mary Allen. I want this information so I can do my family’s genealogy. This is most important to me. Please help. My personal investigations have gone unfruitful.
170. Jeannielacoste : I am looking for my fathers biological father and mother. My fathers adopted name was Henry Wesley Allen. His adopted parents were Lloyd and Mary Allen. My father had 5 biological sisters and would love to have their names also. They were all adopted by different people. I am doing this work for my ancestry work.
171. Jeannielacoste : I am the child of Henry Wesley Allen. He was born in Rhode Island in either 1926or1927. His adopted parents were Lloyd and Mary Allen. He had 5 sisters and they were all adopted by different families. I would love any information about them also. I am doing this work for my family ancestry. I have been unsuccessful in this work.
172. PatriciaJeanTowne : My adoptive mother’s name was Lillian Elizabeth Collier who was adopted by John and Lillian Douglas when she was around 4 years old. She died in 1948 at age 32 of heart complication.
She was reportedly born in Rhode Island. Her father’s name was James Collier who was married to Anna.
174. Zabbiegirl78 : Looking for my half brother (related through my dad). My half brother was named Steven David (after our father) and his mother was Debbie or Deborah Mann. I was told that he was given up for adoption around the age of 2 years old‚ possibly to a distant family member. Deborah Mann has a sister named Deanna Mann. I was told that my half brother’s birth date would be around Sept 1976. I think my half brother was born in Utah but could be wrong. I have no other siblings and would love to find you!
175. Tgannon1423 : My name is Tierney Gannon. I am looking for my half-sister who was born in April 1995. Her parents are Patrick M. Gannon and Abigail L. Haw (now Phelps), who met at Morehead Staate University. I do not know my sister’s name since all documents that I have access to only list her as "Baby Girl Haw" or "Haw."
177. Egyptbottom : Here is what I know: My Father was adopted from a Orphanage in Newport, RI and was adopted in Newport, KY to a family named Fred W. Diehm. What year he was adopted I do not know I found a Census 1940 that had him listed in Newport, KY. What I have find out his father was William Henry Fredrick Corbin B1897-D1977 Mother was Phoebe Jane Wiggins, Wilcox Perkins Corbin Born 1897 died 1977. My father had a sister who was also adopted she was born in 1917. Not sure what last name his Mother gave.
