Looking for - Looking for Donald Jr. Riley family-Michigan

  Author: 17  Category:(Lost) Created:(8/28/1999 10:34:00 PM)
This post has been Viewed (1670 times)

Looking for information re: my family. The Donald Jr. Riley family from Niles, Michigan. We lived there in the 1940's and 50's. There were four children and mother, Evelyn. Some time in/around 1947-48, there came a situation that seperated the entire home..We four children were taken to an orphanage in Benton Harbor, Michigan. I do not know what happened to our family, but I want to know. I do not have enough money at this time to sequester the records from the court and I am not even certain they would give me accurate information. If anyone knows what happened or if they know any of what remains of Donald's new family, please let me know. Donna Marie Riely.

Why we are looking for them:

It will change my life significantly to know what happened to tear my family apart and why I have the fears,and depression I have. I want truth no conjecture.

Date: 2/1/2000 6:29:00 PM    HELLO, MY NAME IS SALLY ANN (RILEY) CLEMENTS.
I AM THE #5 CHILD FROM A MARRIAGE BETWEEN YOUR
FATHER AND ELVIRA MAE (CUTLER) RILEY WHICH
CONSISTED OF A TOTAL OF 7 CHILDREN AFTER THE 4 OF
YOU. MY GRANDPARENTS NAMES WERE, ORVILLA MAE
AND JOHN HENRY RILEY FROM NILES, MICHIGAN. I GREW
UP ONLY KNOWING THAT I HAD OTHER SIBLINGS BORN
TO MY FATHER AND A PREVIOUS WIFE BY THE NAME OF
EVELYN MC DONALD (RILEY). I KNEW THAT THERE WAS
1 BROTHER AND 3 SISTERS THAT WERE ADOPTED OUT TO
OTHER FAMILIES AND MY CHANCE BACK THEN WAS VERY
SLIM TO NONE OF EVER MEETING MY OTHER SIBLINGS.
GROWING UP AND HEARING MY FATHER SPEAK FREQUENTLY
OF HIS OTHER FOUR CHILDREN AND HOW HE LOVED THEM
AND LONGED TO SEE THEM,AND HOW HE TRIED TO FIGHT
TO BRING HIS CHILDREN BACK HOME WITH HIM,LEFT SEVEN
SIBLINGS TO ASK ALOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. I
ONLY KNEW AS I GREW OLDER, THAT I WOULD TRY AND FIND MY
BROTHER AND SISTERS THAT I MISSED OUT ON AS A CHILD
I STARTED SEARCHING FOR THEM AS I GREW INTO ADULT-HOOD
BUT, NEVER GAINED ANY CONCRETE LEADS ON MY SISTERS,
DONNA MARIE RILEY AND LOIS ? RILEY. I HAD MET MY SISTER
SHIRLEY (ADOPTED NAME OF-TALAINA)WHEN I WAS AROUND
11 OR 12YRS OLD. I MET MY BROTHER JOHNNY (ADOPTED NAME OF-
MICHAEL LASHLEY)WHEN I WAS 6 OR 7YRS OLD. IT WAS SHORTLY
AFTER MY MOTHERS DEATH IN 1995 THAT I MET MY SISTER
LOIS TUMINELLO FROM CAVINA ,CALIFORNIA. SHE HAD
LEADS ON HER FAMILY PRIOR TO THIS BUT, THOUGHT THAT
IT WOULD BE IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO NOT INTERFERE
WITH THE FAMILY SINCE HER FATHER HAD ALREADY PASSED AWAY.
SO, APPROX. THREE WEEKS AFTER THE DEATH OF MY MOTHER
SHE SCHEDULED A FLIGHT TO NILES, MICHIGAN TO MEET WITH
HER SIBLINGS THAT REMAINED LIVING. AS FOR WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR FAMILY AS A CHILD, I ONLY KNOW THE STORIES I WAS
TOLD AS A CHILD GROWING UP. HERE NOR THERE, I FEEL THAT
BOTH SETS OF CHILDREN WERE DEPRIVED OF HONEST ANSWERS
AND BEING ABLE TO GROW UP WITH OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
AND I WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU IF YOU ARE THE DONNA
MARIE RILEY I'VE LONGED TO KNOW.IT WOULD END ALOT OF
FRUSTRATIONS THAT I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE TO BE ABLE TO
KNOW YOU AND KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU. IF YOU FEEL THAT THERE
IS A CHANCE THAT WE WERE CONCEIVED BY THE SAME FATHER,
I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO CONTACT ME BY PHONE OR MAIL AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE @ SALLY ANN (RILEY) CLEMENTS
1309 OAK ST.
NILES,MICHIGAN 49120
616-683-7030 OR
E-MAIL ME @ MONTEBRAT76@JUNO.COM
A RESPONSE EITHER WAY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
SINCERELY,
SALLY ANN (RILEY) CLEMENTS

Date: 11/20/2000 5:37:00 PM    HI, my name is Walter Cooley.
My mother was Evelyn Cooley, formerly Riley.
Donna has recently (within the last few days) contacted me, and we have been writing back and forth. I have been doing a little research on her to see if she is who she say's she is, when I came across your messages.I will let her know she has people out there wondering about her she will be very excited to know. However she does not have her own computer, or at this time a phone either. If everything goes well maybe we can all pitch in and get her a pc. If anyone would like to contact me I am at cooleywalter@hotmail .com
I live in SE,MI.
