"She's had a sense of who her mother and father are, but proving something conclusively is difficult if there was an attempt by the Dodge family to keep something like this very private, it certainly would have been accomplished. "The records support her conclusions, and now shell continue with the research about her family," he said.

Cunningham would not reveal specific contents of the 20 to 30 pages of documents released a few days ago by Wayne County Probate Court The Michigan Court of Appeals last month ordered their release to Mealbach, who has been trying to identify her natural parents for more than five years. The records listed Mealbach' as the daughter of an unwed mother about all of this," Cunningham said. "She would like to know who her mom and dad are." Mealbach filed a petition for determination of heirs in 1984, saying she was born Nov. 23, 1914. She claimed to be a Siamese twin of Dodge's daughter, Frances Matilda Dodge, and said she had medical confirmation that marks on her back were consistent with an operation to separate Siamese twins.

With the adoption documents, showing Mealbach was not a twin, the scars oh her back cannot be explained, Cunningham said. Mealbach was adopted in January 1915 by Robert and May Manzer. But she stated in court records that she remembered childhood events that made her believe she was a member of the Dodge family.
