Michel Rivard commented on Robert P Stutsman's group Hungarian ancestors"I'm just starting to work on my son-in-law family roots in Hungary and would appreciate any starting points for that country. The surnames I have at this point are Kasa, Korcsok and possibly Simon. Any suggestions would be appreciated."

Karen Peterson replied to Michel Rivard's discussion adoptions"If you have the adopted parents names, do you have the location where the adoption took place?

I am looking to find information about someone who was adopted, probably around 1900. I have the adopted parents names but would like to find more info. I believe this girl may have been one of the "Home Children" who arrived from England in the early 1900's. Have never had to search for adoption related issues, so not sure where to start.
