So... I was hoping I could find a pattern with the names on the list from the Oklahoma children’s home society that also had Lois Kilby’s name ... the first person I focused on was Roy Gattis who’s listed near Lois, but too many Roy Gattis’s when searching, so then I went with Beatrice Montgomery... not only did I find her, but I found her on the 1920 census listed as adopted daughter ... the sad thing is I don’t see any of her siblings listed in the same house or on the pages before or after hers on the census... which tells us that the newspaper story about the homes “policy” of placing siblings in same home or same neighborhood is complete $@?$&&$&:!?!?$ ... so anyway, just wanted to share that bit of frustration and to say if anyone knows Beatrice Montgomery... she has (had) several siblings she may have never known about 😞 FYI I’m attaching the list for anyone else who may be researching Oklahoma Adoptions
@Jim Kilby @John JohnRigler1 @Carolyn Webber I don’t think John reads these anymore but I will continue to attach him as long as I can just in case 😊
