William was born at a Catholic home for unwed mothers. (Possibly St. Anne's) His adopted father may have been serving in the US Navy or possibly another branch of the military at the time of adoption. My mother requested that he go to a Baptist family, but I'm not sure if this wish was carried out. This is all the information I have. Hope it helps. William has a brother and two sisters from his birth mother. We'd all love to meet him.
