Grandparent Study
The Center on Aging at Bradley
University is looking for African
American grandparents, age 50 or
older, who are sharing a household
with a young grandchild between the
ages o f 6 and 12 to participate in the
Grandparent Study. This study will
examine the challenges and rewards
that are faced by grandparents who
areraisingyounggrandchildren.The
findings from this study will be im­
portant to policy makers in their ef­
forts to design interventions and so­
cial services for “at risk” grandpar­
ents.
The Grandparent Study, funded
by the National Institute on Aging, is
beingdirected by Dr. Rachel Pruchno,
a well-known family psychologist
and researcher.
This study will also make an im­
portant contribution to our under-
standingof African American grand­
parents. Traditionally participation
in research studies from the African
American population has been low;
although, findings have shown that
African American caregivers have
lower levels o f stress and burden
with higher levels o f family support
in relation toother participants. Afri­
can Americans are doing a lot “right”
and it is important for them to share
their knowledge so that others can
benefit from their experiences. O f
equal importance to making African
American needs and opinions known,
is the valuable use o f information to
develop programs and policies which
will benefit the Black population.
If you are an African American
grandparent sharing a household with
a young grandchild and you would
like to participate in the Grandparent
Study, call 1-800-695-5927. Remem­
ber, by participating you have the
opportunity to improve the system
and have a voice in the services and
policies that are being planned for
the future.

ity in Canada and Mexico and his
most recent dramatic, high stakes
move to Oregon for rehabilitaion.
At the same time, the program offers
a poignant portrayal o f the emotion­
al bond that developed between
Keiko and Karla Corral, his Mexi­
can trainer, and the great love the
Mexican people developed for the
whale.
The story begins in K eiko’s home
waters near Iceland where Keiko
was captured by fishermen and sold
to a Canadian amusement park. The
program follows K eiko’s sale to
Reino Aventura, a Mexican amuse­
ment park, and the development o f
the Mexican public’s lvoe affair with
the beloved animal. The program
then takes view er’s to Mexico City
where, on January 7, 1996, Discov­
ery Channel’s crews filmed Keiko’s
complicated airlift by a United Par­
cel Service C-130 Hercules trans­
port aircraft from Reino Aventura to
his current home in a specially de­
signed two-million gallon rescue/
rehabilitation center at the Oregon
Coast Aquarium in Newport, Ore­
gon.
In 1995, Reino Aventura donated
Keikoto the Free Willy-Keiko Foun­
dation. Years o f captivity in the Mex­
ican amusement park had led to
chronic programs.
The Free W illy-Keiko Founda­
tion hopes to release Keiko into his
native waters after he has been in
rehabilitation for an indeterminable
amount o f time.
Such a release, however, has nev­
er been attempted with a captive
orca before and will only be possible
if K eiko’s current health problems
and other hurdles can be overcome.

Every day thousands of people are
searching for other people. Some are
adopted children looking for birth
mothers, others are looking for miss­
ing spouses, their ancestors or miss­
ing friends. Many people think these
searches require expensive private
detectives or other professionals. In
most cases this is not so. Usually
these detectives get their informa­
tion from the same public records
that you can use.
A new book by Robert L. Berko,
Executive Director o f the non-profit
Consumer Education Research Cen­
ter will help amateur searchers in
theirquests formissing persons, birth
parents or information about them­
selves that government bureaus have
in their files The book, How to Find
People With Information From Pub­
lic Records, is available for $19.95
from Consumer Center, 1980 Spring-
field Ave, Maplewood, NJ 07040 or
by calling 1-800-872-0121.
Many searches are as simple as
looking for the name in a database
containing all telephone records in
the United States. There are several
computer programs for sale that con­
tain this information. If you don’t
want to go to this expense, Mr.
Berko’s organization has a database
o f 80 million records and can do the
search for you.
Other public records that you can
use are marriage, death, divorce, voter
registration. Post Office, Motor Ve­
hicle, Selective Service military and
many more. The book will not only
shows you how to determine what
records you need, but how and where
to get these records.
I f your problem is a missing spouse
who in arrears on child support, ev­
ery state has a Child Support agency
that w i 11 do most o f the search ing for
you even if your spouse is in another
state. The book lists the address of
the Child Support office for every
state.
For those searching their roots,
there are many sources o f informa­
tion. Foremost is the Family History
Centers which have literally millions
o f different studies and histories of
family names plus the names o f those
who are working on family histories
for their own family names. Some of
these people could be working on
your family’s history and could save
you the search.
