My husband is searching for his birthmother. We have found out that his birth mother's name was Rebecca Clark and she named my husband "Floyd" at birth. My husband was born 2/11/54 in New Orleans, LA. He was told that he was born at Baptist Hospital and was possibly at St. Vincent's orphange for awhile.

He was adopted in May of 1954 through the city of New Olreans Office of Family Services. He was adopted by the Luther E. Hall family of Perrier Street, New Orleans.

The addresses given by the birthmother at the time of his adoption were 5400 Jefferson Hwy. and 3501 St. Claude Avenue.

When we looked up the addresses in a 1954 city directory we found that the Jefferson Hwy address was for the the Foudation Hospital which was an early location for Ochsner Hospital. This was located at the old Camp Plauche site near the Huey P. Long Bridge. Part of Camp Plauche was being used as a Hospital but it was also being used as post-war housing for veterans during the 1950's. We thought that possibly his birth mother was living at Camp Plauche at the time.

The St. Claude address was for the D'Ingianni Foundation Hospital. Again my husband had been told he was born at Baptist so it this is correct, perhaps his birthmother was a nurse at one of these facilities?

If any one has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
