y mother was "adopted" by the Herman and KATHERINE or CATHERINE EVERS-ELFERS, family living in NYC, 1925. Herman was b. in Prussia abt 1878 and Katherine was b. NYC, though a daughter of an immigrant, I think, an immigrant of GERMANY. My mother was born Annibrita d'WAINIO, daughter of Franc or Frank d'WAINIO, b. Turku, Finland 1888, dec'd CA 1978. My mother's mth had 5 children and died in NYC, bef., my mth was age 4, leaving Frank, her husband with 5 young children of that marriage. I believe he had a total of 3 marriages, the last in CA-I'm sure he had two marriages, his first ended in divorce in FINLAND, bef./, he left.
