Envelope to show the postmark? or does the letter indicate the return address or at least the town? << letter gives the first names the adoptive parents gave the girls. >> Not sure how to use this info unless you also have the last name of the adoptive parents. Any idea where the grandmother was living in 1946/47? Not that it means the place she gave birth - << need some moral advice. >> After sixty years I don't think it would matter that anyone in the family knows about the births .... the circumstances may have been such that any one of us would have done the same. But it could possibly make a difference in health matter (genetics) of the offspring of the girls - >> two girls >> any indication if they were twins? or if the girls were born within a year of two of each other? If I read your e-mail correctly, you don't know who or where the girls are but would like to find them? My suggestion if by all means - if you can. Remember that at the youngest they will be sixty + years old. << Should I provide more information >> to whom would you provide additional information --- I see some possibilities - and remember that it is more than likely that these births were no secret within the family ... and also remember that even when the contemporaries are deceased, they very well and most likely told the secret to one or more of their own children. So clues, if not actual information, may well be available within the family circle.
