I am trying to prove/disprove that my wife's grandfather was adopted. Any help, tips or hints would be greatly appreciated.
According to Social Security records, SQUIRE DAYAN EURICH was born Feb 1903 to OSCAR EURICH and FLORENCE MURDOCK. In the 1910 census, Oscar and Florence had a son named HOWEL S EURICH, age 6, born in New York, but in the 1920 census their son's name was SQUIRE DAYAN EURICH, age 14, born in New York. In a search on Ancestry.com it shows a SQUIRE DAYAN born Feb, 1903, in New York to STEPHEN DAYAN and FLORENCE MURDOCK.
I can not find any proof that an "official" adoption took place. Can someone point me in the right direction.
