Find Ancestors

As both of the major sites are playing up today I can't look at the possible record in US I saw last night but don't in any case think it was likely to be the right one.

Just an observation which may well be wrong, but given that Rachael was born 1946 and there does not seem to be a passenger record for Helen coming to the UK , I would guess perhaps that she (Helen) came from Europe either during the war or very shortly after?

The surname also shows up in South Africa so that might be a possible also?

Too young

Good morning malyon, sorry I missed your post last evening. Can I ask if the record holds any other personal details please? Also, there is a reference to the year 1909 that I'm unsure about. What does this signify?
I'm going to a funeral in a short while and won't be back until late afternoon, so please don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't reply this morning.
Many thanks

Ok Andy, I thought there might be a closure period but wasn't sure for how long. Thanks anyway.

Helen's child Rachael was born in a 'retreat' for single mothers and subsequently adopted by my aunt and uncle who changed her name. I am trying to discover Rachael's natural birth ancestors.

I don't think the USA 1950 has been released yet. I think they have a 70 year closure period.

Andy

Thank you Rambling. I think this is probably not the Helen Knobel I'm searching for, but I'm grateful for your help.

Thank you Andy, is there any record for her or her family in the 1950 census please?

Doesn't appear to be on incoming passenger lists.

I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could let me know the details of the above person in the 1940 US Federal census and any other family members. Also if there is any entry for Helen in the 1950 census please. I am searching for a Helen Knobel b abt 1929. She had a child named Rachael (no father shown on the birth certificate) in November 1946 in South Norwood, London and I'm wondering if she emigrated from America between 1940 and 1946.
Thank you in advance,
Ron
