A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Tennessee Who Chose To Be Featured
1441. Kskaggs21 : I am searching for my great grandmothers birth history and can’t seem to find anything as she was adopted. Her name was Delia Irene Carter/Skaggs/Glidden/Simmons. Her son was Kenneth Skaggs, Bruce Allen Skaggs and her ex husband was William Simmons and Robert Skaggs. Thank you.
1442. Jackcross : My mother was Nancy Kay Worsham cross I am looking for my biological father Phillip Heinz of the us navy lived in Florida in the 1970s
1443. Tabitha0911 : My dad Monroe was stationed in San Diego California with the US Marines in either 1973-1975 (?). He had claimed that he met a woman while in the marines‚ who became pregnant with his child. The only name that was ever mentioned was Jacqueline “Jackie”. My grandmother Ola had a picture of this little girl it was black and white‚ and on the bottom it said Jacqueline “Jackie” Morris. I cannot remember for sure but she was around the age of 2 or 3 with dark hair‚ & I believe had a dress on with a crochet shawl on‚ if I remember correctly. My dad was from southern Illinois at the time of his entry‚ although born in Caruthersville‚ MO. He enlisted into the Marine Corps at 17-18yrs of age. My dad has passed and I have no further information. I’ve included his Marine photo and hope that this may trigger a response.
1445. Aksharp : Hello! My name is Ashley‚ though I was born as Alesica Dionne Shelton in Memphis‚ Tennessee‚ about forty-two years ago. I believe I was born at City of Memphis Hospital (now Regional One) and that my adoption was arranged privately through a Memphis attorney who is now deceased.
From what I understand‚ I was placed shortly after birth‚ and the adoption was handled entirely in the Memphis area. I’m hoping to connect with anyone who may recognize these details‚ including possible family members.
I’m not looking to intrude‚ just to learn more about my beginnings and‚ hopefully‚ bring a little peace and connection to both sides.
1448. Myhan : hey my name is melissa myhan. my brother michael myhan was adopted and he does not know he is adopted. i also was adopted but i knew i was adopted. he was born Jan 26,2007 in Tennessee. Our adopted parents are esther myhan (mother) and james riley myhan (father). he passed away december 8,2019.
1449. KJohnson12301967 : my father Richard K johnson was born 12/30/1967 at louisville general hospital, to Mary Kathryn Howey/Johnson <07> he was between the ages of four and seven years old when he was adopted by his step mother Georgia Christine Johnson, we have letters to my belated grandfather Kenneth Marvin Johnson, from my great grandmother Retha Howey, and a few photgraphs of both mary Kathryn and retha and charles Howey<may>, holding my dad as an infant, were told mary and her family may have been carneys, travelling a circuit between sarasota/old city florida, and as far north as toledo ohio, mary may have had other children as well but we have been unable to confirm much this far, I know most records in this case are sealed we are trying every avenue before seeking legal matters.
Mary Kathryn, if youre out there, your son would like to know you, we all would, please if any one has leads or can help us, anything is appreciated.
