Sorry but I guess I assume everyone is following my whole story and need to
make each email clearer
Ellen thomson -- maholage and Alexander are my adopted parents both deceased
I have all there info
I am wondering if anyone knew them ????????

they lived in NJ til at least 1952
then New York and east 4th avenue
til at least 1957

then 1964 e 9th street
he also was known as Ben

My adop mom ELLEN MAHOLAGE (THOMSON MAIDEN NAME FROM NJ)
was a foster mother in New Jersey (Carlton Ave) in 1951, PLUS OR MINUS A FEW
YRS BUT DEFINITELY 1951. It was issued by the New Jersey board of vital
statistics in Hudson NY but there is no record of her being authorized to do
this.
SHE WAS BORN IN HOBOKEN NEW JERSY ON 12/30/23.

I SENT FOR HER MARRIAGE CERT AND IT SAYS SHE WAS MARRIED IN NEW JERSEY IN MAY
1944

AS THEY WERE LIVING IN NY IN 1957 BUT BETWEEN 1953 and 1957 I AM NOT SURE IF
THEY LIVED IN NJ OR NY

now my adop dad ALEXANDER MAHOLAGE worked all over NY City a good freind of
his was a Mr. grant and a man named goldstein or Gladstone who i believe both
were attorneys
i have already checked these avenues of the attorneys with no results found a
few but nothing came of it
HE WORKED UNDER THE TABLE HIS WHOLE LIFE NEVER HAD A LEGAL JOB?. he was also
in the merchant marines.
2 of his military addresses were

S.S. J.C. LINCOLN
STOCKARD S.S. CO
17 BATTERY PLACE NY NY

AND

S.S. J.C. LINCOLN
STOCKARD S.S. CO
C/O SOCIEETY NAVAL
DELMAR VEL JAUX
PARIS FRANCE

He traveled and was gone alot, so I could have been born anywhere and then
brought back to NY to be adopted. It could be just about anything???
AT ONE TIME WE HEARD OUR MOTHER WAS A WAITRESS IN A RESTAURANT CALLED RUDLEYS
IN NY where my adopted dad worked
for yrs

he also owned some property in Massapequa in NY and owned a store with a
Fred Bijou called sundown to sundown in NY i beleive in Massapequa shopping
center in the 60's

My a mom worked at Arthur Murray dance studio in Newark NJ in 1947 + or -- a
few yrs but def in 1947.
So she was already married when she worked there so I could have been someone
she worked with that had the baby.

She also worked for RCA and a phone CO (not sure if those were in NY or NJ)
and I believe a plant in Harrison NJ not sure of yr.

in NY she worked at a macys dept store. in NY in the 60's

My adopt dad worked or manaaged a restaurant called rudleys in New York
I beleive it is the only job he had on the record. Everything else he did was
cash under the table. he was a maintenance man and a super of apt building in
NY at one time.

I know this is alot and I have posted it all on every geneology adoption or
any other board and come up empty.

IM afraid someone is looking for me but if everything I have is so much yet
so many untruths how would they ever find me any way.

Ps my adop parents are both deceased and they told us so many different
stories thats why I have so much info but most of it is useless.
MY ADOP MOMS FAMILY THE THOMSONS CANNOT BE LOCATED AND I DONT EVEN KNOW
WHERE TO LOOK as i dont know any of her 3 brothers births or deaths if
deceased or anything and ive posted for them and checked out ancestry.com
thanks to some kind person.

my adop dads family knows nothing as they were from pa where i live now. and
i was raised in ny ive asked over and over but they did not even know we were
adopted at least thats what they tell me and ive tried over and over. but who
knows maybe i even came from there. (pa)

my adop moms maiden name was thomson as she spelled it with a p(thompson) but
all legal doc such as her marriage and birth cert and letter found from a
nephew of hers spell it without the t.
she had 3 brothers that i know of charles
john
and frank
and a nephew robert f. thomson (info given in prior email)
her dads name was francis bernard thomson and her moms name was
ANNE WILLMES (MAIDEN)
the woman who witnessed the marraige was a margaret harley from north
arlington along with francis which was either her brother or dad

OH YEAH IM ITALIAN LOOKING PETITE WITH BROWN HAIR AND BIG BROWN EYES I HAVE
ALWAYS LOOKED YOUNGER THAN I AM SUPPOSED TO BE SO THE YR COULD BE LATER THAN
1960
