a clue as to how to find your Judge ancestor. Is it possible she might have been adopted?

I'm having the same sort of trouble with my mom's paternal side. She always thought her dad was adopted, but it turned out that his father was adopted. The most I can gather from my uncle (mom's bro) is that the name was originally "Ayre" or "Ayer" before his grandfather was adopted.

Sometimes the family mysteries are a real pain in the neck
