I am the son of Dorothy Drake. Her father was Frederick Drake. This family is from the Plainfield, Scotch Plains, area of NJ. Probably connected to the Piscataway, NJ Drakes. I was born in Plainfield on 5/18/39 and given up for adoption. My birth mother is Dorothy Drake (don't know if she is deceased--probably is). My paternal grandfather was Frederick Drake born 1874 (died ???). Being adopted, making this connection means more to me than you can imagine. Other notes.

Searching for Allen Oakley Drake[grandfather] last known Glasgow about 1950/1954 Master Mariner. Patricia Francis Russell nee Drake [mother] last known to be in Finsbury Park London about 1955. Francis Margaret Drake [sister] born 1949 last known to be in Glasgow with grandparents 1950/1954. EMAIL:s.vinnicombe@btinternet.com

My aunt was one of 4 Drake children in Ithica NY. The adoption records have been sealed. She and they were given new names. Her father was unable to care for the children after the mother died in 1936. My aunts name and birthday: 5-4-1929 Catherine Ann Drake. Her brother and sisters were Carl, Naomi,and Beatrice. Our family knows "US" back to before the revolutionary war. She would like to find someone to see a likness of herself . As it is now she has only her children and grand children. The trait of red hair and freckles is very pronounced in her children and the 3 grand children. Any directions would be appreciated. Other notes.
