Harold Kreisinger, a friend, quotes her as saying that she was born in Benton, IL, and that she still had cousins that lived there (date unknown).

There is a birth record in Cook County Illinois for Louise Adell, born 4 Sep 1918 in Cook County, Illinois, File Number: 6056158. This is of interest. She was born in Benton, Illinois on that date, but was not named Adell at that time. There is no indication that her stepfather adopted her, or did he? Was there an amended birth record, and recorded in a county different from her birth?

It appears that the birth record was an amended birth certificate. The information on it, however, is not entirely correct, although it had an affidavit attached which said the information was correct. It was provided by her mother Lucy Adell. The affidavit was dated 20 Aug 1936. It said there was no medical attendant. The affidavit and the birth certificate said that Louise Adell was born 4 Sep 1918 in Chicago, Illinois. Lucy Adell resided at 3128 W. 38 place at the time the affidavit was executed. The amended certificate said that Louise Adell was born 4 Sep 1918 to James Adell, white, aged 24, a miner in a coal mine, and to Lucy Kirtkowski, white, aged 24, born Pennsylvania, a housewife. It said there were two children born to the mother including that child, and that two children were living. It showed the residence at the time of birth as 2533 W. Congress, Chicago, IL. Much of this information was incorrect. She was not born in Chicago, and James Adell was not her true father.
