Looking for family as I was placed in foster care and my brother and sister were in an orphanage in New York.
Retired, married 47 years, 3 children and live in Penna.
Specifically looking for parents of William Irvin Black, my great grandfather on my fathers side. His wife was Florinda Ann Johnson and they married in 1861 right before he went into the civil war. I think it may have been in Cinn.,Ohio. After the war they moved to Page. Iowa. He was a carpenter by trade. I have some thoughts that his parents may have been a James Black and Susanna Beighley but no proof. His death cert. does not say .
