Here is a continuation of the list of the birth announcements published in the Indianapolis papers around the date of Benjaman Kyle’s birth, believed to be 29 August 1948.
Today’s entry covers 7 Sep through 8 Sep 1948. There were no announcements on Sep 4 & 5. The names reported on Sep 6 are the same as those reported on Sep 7, so I have skipped Sep 6.
I have not researched many of these names. Ideally, I’d like to find as many of the individuals mentioned in these announcements as possible. As I get more information on them, I will update this post.
If you recognize anyone on this list, please contact me at immediately at colleen@identifinders.com
