Hi I am new to WikiTree but have been researching my family for years. I am working on two trees mine and my partners. I have done my DNA on Ancestry.com and believe I have several cousins on my paternal side who have done the same. I have hot my brick wall on my mother's side. Her mother (Cora Belle ???) was born out of wedlock we always believed and no one knew who her father was. She was adopted by Frank Helmer who died in 1902 and I have located her in the 1910 census as a ward as the Knights of Phtyias Home in Springfield Ohio. Cora's mother was found in the 1930 and 1940 census as as inmate at the Green Co Children's Home and Infirmary. I believe this to be her as Mom talked about visiting her in a home in Xenia. And I have a family book that lists her name and birth date. Im' also having trouble with tracking the Phillips family from Wales England. I'm not sure how yet, but whatever help I can be, I'd like to.
