Made Progress searching birth records in Johnson County Recorder's office!!!!!!!!! I know my birth name!

[Sara Sinnard]

My daughter and I went to the recorder's office in Johnson County to look up the birth records on my birthday. In JC, the "seal" that is placed over a baby's record is a sticker. We did not remove and stickers, but you could tell that people had done so. My record had been pulled up and pasted back down previous to our visit.

My birth name was baby girl Rhodenbaugh. My mother's maiden name is Josephine Frances Neuburn age 37, I also found the birth record of one brother who is five years older than I am: Keneth Rhodenbaugh. Father listed for Kenneth was Carl Rhodenbaugh, age 46 at Kenneth's birth. They lived in Waterloo Iowa at 83 lane st at the time of both my brother's and my birth.

We could not find records for my other two sibblings. Probably because they weren't born in Johnson County, or they had a different last name. However, I do know that two years ago my older brother lived in the same city that they lived when I was born, which I now know was Waterloo.

What a fantastic journey yesterday. I have a name.
