Adoption : December 29 1964
adopted name : Francis Duane Manwaring
Adoptive parents : Maconald Manwaring & Margaret Manwaring ( nee Dunn )
Adoptive sister : Noreen Ann McGarva ( Sally Manwaring )
We are searching for the birth family of Steven David Welch born November 22 1962 , adopted via The Children's Aid Society of Eastern Manitoba
This is the birth family of my ex partner & bio father of my eldest child .
We would very much like to connect with & find any family members also wishing to know history & ancestral connections .
We've yet to contact the adoption registry here in our province . We also have reason to believe he may have been a child of the 60's scoop due to his age being 2 yrs old at time of adoption & wording of the CAS documents .
We are not sure of place of birth . Birth may have been region around Keewatin or Kenora Ontario , or Winnipeg Manitoba .
I've listed photos below from as early we can find of him up to his obituary photos . I've also included photos of him with his adopted sister ( adopted name : Sally Manwaring ) Noreen Ann McGarva & other adoptive relatives in case the Manwaring clan may have information .
I also have included photos of my eldest child Natasha Rose whom is now 36 yrs old in case she may have appearance of bio family .
We very much would like to learn my daughter's heritage etc. meet her cousins , aunts , uncles ........
please please pass this on as much as you like . If you feel there is something I've missed out in this post please feel free to let me know so I can add to or change the search .
If there is any information you feel would be helpful to us please contact us
