We may have some family in common, and I suppose it's possible that your 'Sophie' was my grandmother...please read on:
My mother has recently received her original birth certificate and her birth mother's name was Sophia Panek. Sophia would have been born in 1907 and my mother was born in 1944 in Chicago at Catholic Charities. The only information we have is that Sophia lived with a younger brother and sister (and she would have been 39 at the time) and that the father was Italian and younger (29) and been a soldier or was still a soldier.
