Thank you for this post. This provides me with a little more insight into my mother's family. My mom was the daughter of Robert Orwig who was the brother of Virgina Jane Orwig Welsh. Joseph Martin Welsh and Virgina Orwig Welsh were sponsors at my mom's baptism in September 1942. (Robert Orwig was renamed Robert Hayden when he was adoped after the death of his birth father. I've often wondered why Robert was adopted but his other siblings remained with their mother.)
ReplyDeleteSadly, my mom did not have much contact with her father (or her mother) so she lost all contact with Joseph and Virigina. In fact, I didn't know Joseph and Virigina existed until I started my research. I greatly appreciate this information! It provides an additional piece of the puzzle. :)
