Thanks for the feedback. Ruling out a source of information is beneficial. Let us know when you hear from the Library Archives in Oklahoma.

WOW! You found a lot. I would love to see the article about Lydia. I'm willing to search the Probates but don't know how. The probate index that you posted included "adoptions." How does one access the entire probate index?

What is "fs"?

Good question! FS was used as an abbreviation for FamilySearch

You are right. The Masons did not operate that home.

I really appreciate that you have kept us informed as you have learned new pieces of information.
Your source at the Carnegie Library seemed like a valid source. I only questioned whether the Mason's were really involved because of the link from USGenWeb.

I think this shows the value of having multiple people searching for answers. We may find different pieces of the puzzle, and working together we have more information to help us to find answers..

I went through the pages. No mention of a Kilby however, page 46 is missing.

I don't think that site can be depended upon. I searched for my mother's death. They have her dying in 1979 whereas she died in 2000.

I think it would help if we had a middle name for Lois. I'm assuming she was born in Oklahoma but maybe not. My father was born in the Hot Springs area. If they were married there then, there is a possibility Lois was born in Arkansas.

I had also wondered if she might have been born in Arkansas. This might be useful information to search with. Adoptive parents might not know where an adopted child was born, so when we search based upon birth place, the parents might not have provided valid information.

Does the draft form list where JF was living at the time? If so, that is a place where Lois could have been born.

Don’t probates deal with settlement of estates?

I just sent a post to my two closest DNA relatives on MyHeritage asking them if the name Lois Kilby means anything.

Thanks for sharing these documents. This helps us all to see what we find in a similar record. Life was tough for so many people.

Those I’m certain are all the same person. The marriage dates, census, and probate records all seem to go hand in hand

the page isn’t missing ... that particular probate book only goes to 1914
0 -
the case number listed in the index is so you can find the records in the book because there they are listed numerically by case number. However, I’ve noticed many of the counties we have indexes for, don’t have all the corresponding record books. The pronates are extemely time consuming to search, but at this point I think it’s our best option. We may have to search every county. But I just know she’s gotta be in there!

Your research efforts have really paid off!

These are great examples. People often think of Probate records as being about settling wills. However, adoptions were usually conducted as a court probate proceedings. These records are often available for us to research, whereas adoption records tend to be sealed in many states.

Let us know whether you hear back from them.
