Adopted mom
I am looking for info on my mothers birth parents. Mom was born in Aug of 1942 in New York (Haverstraw I think). Only record I can find has birth date of aug 20 , although she always celebrated it on the 26th. I don’t know if she was maybe adopted on the 26th or what? I think her birth name was Sarah Fredericks, but not positive. I do have DNA matches on ancestry with persons of that last name. Her adoptive parents were Trina and Barney VanDerWerf if that helps at all??

I not sure where to direct you as I have a sister who was born between 1952 and 1953 in New York. We believe she was born in Buffalo at a home for unwed mothers. I have done the DNA and many searches and have not found her.
However I wish you the best in finding the birth parents of your mother and I will inquire of my team mates and see if we can come up with some information for you to try.
Sincerely

First I should have asked you if your mother or either one of her adoptive parents are living?
