Ora Ralph Curtis' History: 1910

Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    I believe Ora Ralph Curtis to be the grandfather to my children, David Lee Curtis and Autumn Ann Curtis. Their father was Michael David Curtis. I am trying to find out more information. I know Mike was born in Michigan on March 12, 1952. Any help out there? Thank you. Ora Ralph Curtis was my Father and Michael David Curtis is my brother. Mike was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Moved to Michigan about the age of 5. Ora was my father. Mike was given to my mothers brother, James Mitchell, because our mother had Tuberculosis. At this time, no child could stay with a parent with this disease. Mike was re-united with his mother at the age of five in Lansing, Michigan. At this time, mother had about every organ taken out of her because it was diseased. She had only a few years to live and she wanted time with mike. Unfortunately, mother died in 1962, only a year after re-uniting with Mike. Mike was then taken by social services of Michigan and adopted out to several families.
