Thank You very much.
The documents gave a clear understanding of what happened.  Family photo said, "bridge he was working on" Clearly not.
Only been married three weeks before the accident.

Anyone headed to the archives in Wellington.
If they can find a little inquest for me that will be most helpful.

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?

Thank you so much :).  Booked marked now.
I had a different web address which doesn't work anymore, same site with the headstones.  They must have changed web address at some point.

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.
