Histories

My grandfather Earl H. Vordenberg was born June 1891. The family has been told by Earl's sons that he traveled to Dayton, OH to find his birth mother and he received is picture of her. It was also said that her name was Allender. I found Augusta Allender on the 1910 census in Dayton. I also found Augusta Allender on the 1880 census living in Indiana with a family named Kitchell. In 1920 Augusta is listed as the wife of Hugh Walsh who was a boarder in her Dayton home on the 1910 census. My grandfather, Earl, was adopted by Fred Vordenberg by the time of the 1900 census and listed as "adopted son" on that census. We would love to know for sure if Augusta Allender was Earl's birth mother. Contact almamagis at fuse.net with information
