Thanks for your replies, you have been very helpful.
I have cousins who live in Concordia & Independence, and thought maybe one of them could get the lists for me cheaper... I guess not!
There was a bunch of "scandal" surrounding the parents deaths and it was such a small town, that is part of why they didn't let the children go to anyone in either birth family. It seems like back in the 50's everything was a scandal though, lol
I just worry that they adopted them out of the State to get them away from it all.
I guess since they were born in Missouri, than those certificates would still need to be ammended, reguardless of what State they lived in after adoption.
I am just going to go for it, I have nothing to lose really. Except some money, but finding them is worth it. I think the lists will help me trace them. NOW I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again!
