Additional Info
Between 1926 and 1929, we believe that the unwed mother was sent to Iowa from Colorado Springs, CO where family was originally from to give birth (family originally from Des Moines or Burlington areas of Iowa, but unknown where baby was born). Mother then returned to Colorado to work and eventually marry. This boy grew up to father two daughters, one in 1967. Finding a bio father who himself was adopted is a huge task. What we know:\n—So far there are two daughters confirmed thru DNA, DOB 1953 and 1967\n—Reported to likely have grown up in Charles City, Floyd County, Iowa. \n—Had been in military and in Texas in early 1950s.\n—May still be alive, but would be \n—Worked in utilities as a traveling supervisor/manager in 1960s\n—Worked as a traveling supervisor for a utility or power company for Iowa\n—DNA MATCHES from Iowa, Illinois, Colorado DNA MATCHES, SURNAMES: Breuer, Borgars, Harris, Hardy, Shepherd\n
