I am looking for the birth parents of :
Jennie "Finnigan" b. April 23, 1896
in Horton, Brown Co., Ks.
She was 3 years and 2 months old when she was adopted by Ed and Clara Briggs 24 of June in 1899 in Ottawa Co. Ks. Was she on "the orphan train" from Brown Co. to Ottawa Co? Why was she orphaned?
How did My grandparents come to adopt her?
Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Glenda
