Upon reading this letter, it seems my grandmother had two girls that she gave up for adoption. I don't know what the girls' complete original names were but the letter gives the first names the adoptive parents gave the girls. I guess I need some moral advice. Should I provide more information in an attempt to contact the girls so I can provide their mother's (my grandmother) ancestry and some info? Or is it better to let them try to find out themselves if they're interested? They may not know they are adopted but the letter implies they will be told eventually. If I decide to try and locate the girls AND if they are still living is this a real long shot? Thank you
