I am looking to find anyone who may have inforamtion of John Moad. I believe that he was the half brother of my grandfather but I cannot find any hard evidence. My grandfather and great aunt were put in an orphanage in 1904 and I think that John Moad anso know at one time as Woody stayed with their mother. I think this was because he was not a blood relative of John T woody. His motehrs name was Angess T and I have found censusrecords with it as Moad and them Woody. MY aunt has told me that they were put into the orphanage so that their father could not find them. I do know that my aunt did meet an other brother once when they were in Oregon (claskamus) visiting my great aunt. If I could get verification that John Moad was the half brother then my seach would be complete. My great aunts name was Mabel Bates. She was also known when young as Myrtle and she was born in 1989. John Moad was born in 1894-1896. They did live in Missouri in the early 1900.
Hopefully there is someone out there that may be able to give me some solid information.
Thanks
