I do not even have the slightest idea how to go about mounting a search for my wife's birth parents, but I know that prior to her death in 1974, she often spoke of how she wished she could find her birth parents, just to know.

Her adoptive parents are deceased as well, so I guess it is time to start searching.

Quentin Valetine - Ella (Tieman) were the indiviiduals who adopted

Joanne Yvonne - F - B: 23 Jan 1952 Sedgwick Co., Kansas - adoptive parents lived in Clearwater, Sedgwick, Kansas.

Had a brother named Steve, also adopted. Believe he might be her biological brother.

Joanne died January of 1975 just two months after we were married.

Epileptic seizure

that is really the only information I have on her.
