My grandmother, Ethel Eliza Jackson, was adopted in Sioux City in about 1896, at the age of 5. She believed she was born in Sioux City on February 17, 1891 to a mother/family named Plunkett. She also believed her adoptive parents (Eugene Jackson and Fredrika Brandt) were acquainted with her birth mother. I am looking for any information I can find on either her birth or adoptive parents. I am especially interested in knowing if she may have been an "Orphan Train" rider.

My name is Donald R. McWhorter and I am a friend of Mr. Harold Clayton Dill. I am searching for Mr. Dill's birth parents and their home of record.
Mr. Dill has told me he was born at the Crittenton Foundling Home and was adopted through the Crittenton Home in Sioux City, Iowa, in late July or early August of 1923 (Mr. Dill was approximately 14 days old at time of adoption.) Mr. Dill's date of birth is 23 July 1923. The adoptive parents were: George Douglas Dill and Mary Elizabeth "Mae" (Biser) Dill.
PLEASE PROVIDE ANY RESPONSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I am writing looking for information about unwed mother's homes in Sioux City. My grandma, Ottillia Brungardt, gave birth in Sioux City on April 8th, 1947. She was in her mid 30's at the time of my mother's birth, and had spent most of her pregnancy in an unwed mothers home there. I am looking for anyone who may have known her during this period of her life. She passed away in 1976 without ever telling my mother anything about that time of her life. All we have been told, from her sister, was that she was told, the father to her baby was a shoe salesman from Cherokee. This would have been in the summer of 1946 that my grandma spent time in Cherokee, I believe she was working as an RN, and right out of the service . My mother would love any information someone has about any of these things, to help put together a picture of this time in her mother's life.
