I THINK one of her parents, probably father, had surname of Murphy. My brother, now deceased, looked into it and found a certificate from an orphanage in Iowa City for her birth on 5-27-1915 and the baby’s name was shown as “mary marcella “ ( without capital letters). We never knew if that was supposed to be her first and middle names. She was adopted and her name became Barbara Grace DeGraff, but that is not helpful is it? She is long gone but I hope to find this in my lifetime, I want to know as do my daughter and granddaughters. Thank you, any suggestions MUCH appreciated.
