Help finding more info on Birth Father

Question

Hello.  Posting this for Father-in-law. Wilcox-6444 (Larry Wehrmann) .. He has been working in Geneology for many years and his biggest struggle is to find records on his birth father.

He believes his birth Father is Charles Wilcox Born about 1920-1921 in Boston, Mass.  Possibly worked at one time for REA.

Was located in Chicago Area in 1943/1944 (possibly Army or Navy at that time).

Possibly located in North Eastern sates 1949/1950.

Through DNA Larry has been able to track to a close relative with Salargo Surname.

If anyone is willing to dive into a huge puzzle with many pieces found just not connected ... please reach out to larry at wilcox-6444 or you can reach out to me and I can give him your contact info.... I believe he is also going to try the Adoption Angels.

Thank you in advance

Rob (Foster-18356)

I think Adoption Angels will be the right choice!  I'd love to help, but just a bit too busy at the moment and they will be better anyway

First name of the Salargo relative might help us search records

https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/158598958/family is a link to ancestry.com (I have not had time to put everything into wikitree but might start today)...  Frances FE Blair(b1929) (Illegitamate son of Elizabeth yadric b1914) is the father of a DNA hit to larry(1st Cousin 1xremoved - 2nd cousin)... if you follow the tree up through Yadric branch There is a daughter Agnes Yadric (b1884) that had a child with Michael Salargo.  She also had a daughter Ann Rose Vutvich who married william Myers... they had a Daughter that is also a dna match(4th-6th cousin of Larrys Daughter my wife)...   Here is another link to another tree that has some of the DNA matches... I was able to link Myers child with Blair (through yadric line) ... Larry seems to think his connection to everything is through the Salargo name but could be in the yadric's as well... issue is there were several illegitiamate kids so it is hard to track... https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/161196397/family?cfpid=272103695498

sorry this probably made it more complicated.  I will try and add things to wikitree... but if interested contact wilcox-6444 he has more details... or you can contact me and I can give you more access if needed to the ancestry site.
