[lettieross]

Ok I don't know really where to start--Margery Webster born around sept 1886/1888 this is her adopted name--Im trying to find her birth parents -( which Im sure that their last name was either amato or capraro) I know that she is related to Angelo amato born 1895 she is related to Joseph Amato and Judith amato---I have tried everywhere to get or find her adoption that happen around 1886 I know her adoptive parents were Webster's and at age 12 Margery lived in Mi--Please if anyone can help me find her birth parents --

If she was born in Italy it will be difficult to find her birth parents as child abandonment was anonymous. What town is Mi--- Milan? You have to know where she was born to find even her birth record.

The marriage lic is no help on her birth parents

[ffusiak]

I asked about the marriage license as sometime the physical document may reveal some information.

However, I found this at the following. Its states she married James Guthrie and only list age 19 ( implies birth year 1887), birth location as UNKNOWN and parents as Chas. Webster and Maria Church

Have you attempt to contact the state about early records?

There is court record for Gartiot County but you need to be at a FHC. It may be worthwhile checking.
