Many of you may have seen the positively gripping tale in the New York Times
recently entitled "A Son Given Up for Adoption Is Found After Half a Century, and Then Lost Again" http://nyti.ms/1ftX9f9 which revolves around the Lakeview Home For Unwed Jewish Mothers on Staten Island http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1911/04/10/105024810.html?pageNumber=6 Family lore has it that my late Grandmother's older sister was dispatched there as well and basically banished >from the family,perhaps around 1925. Is anyone aware of any genealogical records >from this facility that might help identify her descendants? I'm guessing >from what little I've been able to find and the great lengths to which the mother in the article had to go to that the answer is a resounding 'No' but given the formidable collective expertise of this board I figured I'd ask. Any glimmers of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. With Appreciation and Regards, Martin Kaminer
