I am a mom of three, very interested in my family history. My mother, Grace, was adopted at the age of seven. She lived with her adoptive parents from the age of 3, after her father placed a "child for sale" ad in the local newspaper in 1925. She was the youngest of 9 children. Her birth name was Vera Marie Warner. She was born in Schenectady, NY on August 5th, 1922.
Her birth father was Charles Avery Warner.
Her birth mother was Chasity Elizabeth (Ella) Hurst.
She was adopted by Paul David Bell (birth name prior to his adoption: David Paul Bice), and his wife, Lulu Augusta France Bell.
Paul David had been adopted by his aunt and uncle upon his mother's passing at the age of six.
