This is a real long shot but heres hoping. My grandmother was Hortense Parks. She was adopted by Lowrie McClune Parks& Minnie Mae STEWART Parks. Hortense was born December 15, 1907 Mo.. My uncle told me her real name was McDougal? I've never been able to find out if this is true or not. Minnie was born abt. 1879 . I think here parents were William & Annie Stewart both born in Missouri. On the 1880 census in Weld Co., Colorado it listed 4 children Estella 6, Amarilla 3 both born in Mo. Minnie 2 & Walter B. 5 months born in Colorado. The story goes like this. Hortense mother died, the husband (McDougal) had Hortense & 2 sons, he left them in a boarding house was supoosed to come back & never did. Minnie & Lowrie adopted Hortense. All I know is that she was born in 1907 & born in Missouri.She was on the 1920 census in Weld Co., Co. Hortense married November 10, 1927 in McAllen, Hidalgo co., Texas. She died May 11, 1987 in Corpus Christie Texas. I don't know what happened to her 2 brothers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Nicki
