Genealogy Questions: Long time listeners Richard Yehle has a question about adoption research He writes: "An ex-brother\\u2013in-law\\u2019s father had two brothers born in 1914 and 1916 who were placed in an orphanage in Stockton CA in an unknown year (I\\u2019d guess between 1920 and 1930). The family is looking for information on these two brothers but don\\u2019t know where to start. I can\\u2019t find either of them in the 1920 or 1930 census, nor their parents for that matter. They moved from New Mexico to Bakersfield CA by 1910 and apparently to Stockton CA at some point later, again my guess is after the death of the mother \\u2013 but we don\\u2019t have that date. The location of the two orphans are not known. I suppose it\\u2019s possible that they took the name of their adoptive parents which could be a problem. The original surname is Torres which is also reasonably common. Any suggestions on where to start looking for these two?" Do a - here\'s\\xa0one on San Joaquin County orphanages Here\'s a from 1910.
