The NGS website is experiencing technical difficulties due to a network outage at our service provider
location. We are working to correct this as soon as possible. Logging on to the NGS website, shopping online, and access to the Members Only section of the website is currently not available. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience caused in the mean time. We will notify you as soon as access is restored.
We have moved the NGS holiday gift, a special member preview of an NGS video presentation, an interview with Helen Leary to a secure location that does not require logon at this time. Enjoy the interview at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/videos.
My mother was unofficially adopted by an immigrant couple around 1919. There were no adoption papers, everything was done under the table. We believe her surname was Rivers and her given name was Isabel or Isabella. Since there is no documentation, can her true ancestry be traced?
