My grandmother was born in Lake Charles in 1913 and adopted by a family in Leesville. Her last name on my father's birth certificate is Courtney, but she was adopted by the Owens family (not positive it was done legallly with proper paperwork).
I found several Courtney children in the Baptist Orphanage in the 1910 census, wondered if one of them could be her mother. Any ideas on where to look now? Are there records anywhere from the orphanage?
