[or-roots] Redirection of Big Cat discussion

[Harguess, Dale]

It would have been in either Umatilla County or Morrow County as that is
where she was living in 1917.  Someone on the list found her and her
husband with only one child in an Oregon State Census that I think was
on ancestry.com.  I am only assuming that she was put up for adoption
because my grandmother never told anyone about having this oldest
daughter or even that she had been married before my grandfather came
along.  Her entire family clammed up about the little girl and some told
a story that she was murdered by her father and that he was hanged in
Walla Walla State prison.  I have proved that this is not true.  So my
final thought is that the big secret was that she was given up for
adoption and that is why I can find no record of her death or of a
burial or anything.  She just seemed to drop off the earth at the age of
about 3.

>If I can segue into a question that I am hoping someone on the list can
help me with?  Does anyone know if there were any official adoptions of
children in the period of 1916 to about 1919?  I am looking for a sister
of my mother who was most likely put up for adoption when her mother got
divorced. Dale<

Where?  There were adoptions (legal) at that time, but (a) not
everywhere, and (b) not always, especially if the child went to a
relative.

Take a look at this: http://www.uoregon.edu/~adoption/index.html

I suggest that if this was an Oregon placement, the people at UofO
should be able to help you, in terms of where to look for these records.

AND, by the way -- GO 'CATS! Beat the Huskys! Beat the Beavs! Beat the
Cougs! Beat the Ducks!
