Missouri/St Louis Crumley adoption 1870s-1890s
I am trying to find information on my Great Grandfather and Great-Great Grandparents.My Great Grandfather was James Crumley born July 1876 died 1916 (by falling into a vat of grease).He lived in the St. Louis area and was born in the St. Louis area.The only information I have regarding his parents is that they were born in Missouri and died within a short time of each other when he was young.He had one brother that was taken in or adopted by a wealthy family in St. Louis that would not also adopt James. This left quite a rift between James and his brother and James would not speak to his brother.Any information would be helpful.
