United States of America / Child adoption
« on: Sunday 09 February 25 22:37 GMT (UK) »
Good Day
A little help please. I have a child born 1912 in Glasgow Scotland. His mother was only 16 at the time, she didn't list the fathers name only hers. She later married and moved to Canada under her married name with her sister...no son listed with her on her travels.
Seems as if her son was adopted out and his name changed. from John McCallum to Stewart Harris in Ohio. 1920 Census records are all a lie, "step grandson" and states he was born in Cedarville, Greene, Ohio, which he wasn't.
A DNA match has confirmed this is the man in question.
How does one go about looking for adoption records from 100 years ago? Will it list his mother's name, date etc when it happened?

Caithness / What happened to online inscriptons

Such a wonderful site I used many times over, seems to be gone.
The Caithness Memorial Inscripton site. Anyone know what happened to it, will it be back, is there another site just as good?
Argh just when I wanted to do some grave hunting.

I seem to be having issues with this site, I log in, go to search then the page goes black. I try to search in other fields and it still won't give me access.
Anyone else having issues? It was like this before Christmas for me as well
