I read a post of yours from December 2001 on genealogy.com.
I am the daughter of Warren Leonard Felter, born July 1923 in New York (Rockland County area - Haverstraw, Nyack, etc...).According to the stories he told me, he was one of 7 or 8 children that were either sent to an orphanage or to live with relatives and family friends when their parents died.My father was never adopted and, in fact, joined the US Navy at age 18 in early 1942.His military records reflect his hometown as Nyack, NY.My father passed away in 2005 without telling much about his family.However, when I was a teenager, I did meet an older sister of his, Clara Bremmer(sp?) who lived in Florida, and her daughter Susan who was living in New York at the time.One other sister who was close to his age may have been named Hannah but I am not sure of that.He never told me the names of his parents or his other siblings.There were times in conversation that he mentioned names like Harry and Peter and Leonard but I can't recall how they were related (maybe brothers).
If anyone is interested, he was buried at the Barrancas National Cemetery located on the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, with military honors for his service during WWII.
In any event, I am searching for any history on my family.It is very hard going through life not knowing anything about my ancestry.Any information you could provide about this family would be welcomed and appreciated as most genealogical paths with this family seem to be dead-ends.
