Hello! I am looking for my maternal grandfather and his parents. He and his twin brother, Alfred and Wilfred Newton, were adopted by Patrick and Bridget McGinn, who lived in Melrose, IA. When they adopted the twins (at age 7) they changed their names to John Alfred McGinn and James Wilfred McGinn. I believe my grandfather was born on 2/22/1895, although I am not sure. I was told that his birth certificate had a different birthdate and his last name was listed as "Newton or Halverson." This seems to be an impossible task! We don't even know where they were adopted. We have been told Omaha, Nebraska, or "somewhere in Iowa, North Dakota or South Dakota." Whatever info you might be able to give me would be wonderful. My email addy is davis12@san.rr.com.
