Looking4Lois Oklahoma Children’s Home Society- Lois Kilby
I saw a couple of newspaper articles that made reference to “The Putney Orphans Home” in OKC.... as in Charles Putney (the Children’s Home Society president)...so I did some key word searches and finally found what I was looking for.... it’s the same place! And folks also called it the Putney Orphans Home during its lifetime ... I know it’s a long shot, but that could possibly be the reason we’ve had such a hard time finding any records and maybe why the folks in Oklahoma archives/Libraries/Historical Societies etc. seem to not be able to find any records ... maybe they’re listed as the Putney Orphans Home? Maybe it was listed as “dba” or something along those lines? What you guys think? @Jim Kilby @John JohnRigler1 @Carolyn Webber @Western United States Research @United States Genealogy Research @Missouri @Family History Research

Makes sense to me. I have the name of a judge I’m going to call today in hopes of getting the adoption records released. I had never heard of Putney.

Oh and @Jim Kilby did your email address change? I haven’t gotten a response ... are you getting my messages? There was a change in the way my name appears in my emails and some people didn’t check them because they thought it was spam so 🤷🏻♀️i dont know🤷🏻♀️ if that may be the issue or not
