Additional Info
I am searching for my mother's biological family. She was adopted at 5 weeks of age in early August 1940 by Frank and Susannah (Monks) Barr (both deceased) of Brighton, MA. I was told that my mother was adopted after she died in September 1999. Her biological mother, Ruth Ann Chadwick was from Methuen, MA. I have been researching for almost 20 years and have taken the Ancestry DNA test. Based on the few close maternal matches I have, I suspect her biological father's last name was Wood.
