is there a Shirley Chappell in your family? her maiden name is Pfeilsticker

Question

her birth place was in Johnstown Pennsylvania in 1940. She is also listed as my birth mother on my original birth certificate. My birth name was Peter Decker it was later changed when I was adopted. I have a few health problems and have a few questions about my birth mother's health history. There's a chance that Shirley Chappell aka Shirley Pfeilsticker  my have been adopted herself. I can be found on facebook as Vaughn Burner. Thank you for your time and God bless!

thanks Frank,.....you wouldn't know if there any half brother's or sister's I may have born after Larry 1958 or myself 1959? I have a brother named Larry Thomas Decker it's possible that he's living somewhere in or around Midway Texas.....After Shirley gave birth to me I was placed in the care of the Cincinnati Children's Home. My birth name at that time was  Peter Decker.. When I was adopted my name was changed to Vaughn Burner. It's possiable that Larry has no idea that he has a brother...And my next question is: It seems you are very good at researching people....do you do this for fun or can you be hired?

I do this because I like to do research. Some like to to crossword puzzles and I like to do genealogy puzzles, but only for free.

I maybe interested in hiring you then.....how does it work? and what will it cost? at least an approx cost?
