Subject: Possible family tie for you
Hi Dave,
Your site has been incredibly helpful - thank you! My grandma's name was Bernice Zita Provost Paquette, and late in life she found out she was adopted. She never sought out her birth mother/parents, but I'm putting together a family project for a graduate school class, and I'm seeking out more information.
We believe her birth mother's name was Zeta Bodine (who later married Henry Kleinhans). Bernice was born in the Little Falls, MN area, and eventually the family moved to Visalia, CA. I know you have a ton of information on here, but if you have any additional contacts or information, I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Nicole Overby
