  BIOGRAPHY: Adoption Record Availability for 1870s Author: Richard Griffith < Date: 11 Mar 2001 12:00 PM GMT Surnames: Stegmann, Geenen Classification: Query I would like to get information on how to obtain copies of adoption records for the 1870s period. My great grandmother, Barbara Roslein, had two children, Margaretha and Adam, by her first husband Balthasar Stegmann. These two children were subsequently adopted by her second husband, Jacob Geenen, around 1876-1880. They lived on Humboldt Street in Brooklyn, Kings County. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to determine the church in Brooklyn, Kings County, where my great-grandmother was married. Her name was Barbara Roeslein. She married, first, Balthasar Stegmann, ca. 1870-1872. He apparently died, and she married, second, Jacob Cyriac Geenen, ca 1876-1877. They lived at or near 248 Humboldt Street during this time. There were two children from each marriage, and all were baptized at Most Holy Trinity Church, Montrose, Ave. However, Most Holy Trinity does NOT have either marriage recorded. Is there another church in this area where a German immigrant couple might have been married? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
