Have not been able to be back online here in quite sometime. As I am sure you know it sometime becomes too emotionally draining. I am curious with the number of children and the seperation of the from their mom. It seems to fit my stories however the names are not any that I have found in 5 years (not that I have found much). I have letters from Norwich connecticut and a woman named Ruth whose mother's name was Nora Ball. Ruth's husband/boyfriend - I don't know which was not a nice man and I am not sure how the children were taken away. I do believe however that he was born in VA and then went to WVA to work in the mines. Not real sure how he got to CT but died in VA in the town he was born. HALL was the name they used and from the letters the authorities were on to the name situation. Not much more since last time. Let me know if you have anything.
