Biological father:
- has a history of twins in family

Additional info:
-He was either born at Salvation Army Booth Hospital / maternity home in St. Louis Mo or transferred here. I know for a fact he was there though. His birth certificate does not state a hospital name but instead an address which points back to the old Jewish Hospital in St. Louis that is now Barnes Jewish Hospital - 216 S. Kingshighway

-Adoption would have taken place in Illinois. Possibly through St. Clair circuit court, family division in Belleville Illinois. I believe Dorothy Modglin was his caseworker. (Info from hospital record) It could have also taken place in Monroe County Illinois as that's where his adoptive parents resided. It did NOT take place in the state of Missouri where he was born.

- Adoptive parents are both deceased and we have no records of adoption or anything Relating to his adoption from them. The only thing he was ever told was that his mother was 19 or 20 at the time of his birth. Which clearly doesn't match the hospital records from booth memorial stating that she was 39.

- we have been told by family friends that either his biological mother or father was local so from Monroe county Illinois or surrounding areas? We were also told one of his parents was possibly Jewish but they weren't sure if this was a fact
