John
Query: Ok, here goes, this is just a shot in the dark. I was left in a hotel room in Denver in 1950, appx. age was 2 or 3 yrs. Possibly mother was employed by the hotel, which hotel, I don’t know. Police were called (wish I could find out report case number). Then given over to Denver Child Services who then gave me over to Catholic Charities. I grew up in an orphanage for the next 14 years. After two queries with Catholic Charities, they say they don’t have any information. They have to have the police report and Denver’s Child Services report, but they won’t give them to me so I can do some major research. I used to be called the little indian at the orphanage and many indians I have met say I look Cherokee. When I can affort to have a DNA test, I will have it done to see if indeed I am indian.

Query: I’m looking for information on the parents of my Grandmother. My grandmother’s maiden name was Mayes; I know her mother was Eva Mayes (possibly Eva Mayes Wright), and supposedly full blooded Cherokee. The roots stem from West Virginia (around the Charleston area). I don’t have information on who fathered my grandmother, Mary Lou Mayes (born two dates listed 1922 or 1924).
