searching for Ralph M. Purdy family
Lookingfor any living relatives of Ralph MalcomPurdy....originally from East Coast (New Jersey, I think). He was in the Navy, stationed in Calfornia, when he died in a plane crash in 1937 or 1938 off the coast. He was buried at Annapolis Cemetary from what I've been told.He was married to my mother, Minta Paris...they had a daughter, Patricia, in July 1936; another daughterborn in April 1938. Since Ralph (called Dick according to my mother) had died, my mother unfortunately had to give the 'new' baby up for adoption. Apparently, Dick Purdy had another wife an dfamily so my mother couldn't obtain hispension funds (or whatever it's called) and couldn't afford to take care of a second child. I would like to find anyone who may have any information on the second child...Dickand my mother (Minta Paris,maiden name) are dead,along with members of my mother's family who may ave known a nythin about this....The child is a girl...born in Seattle, WA at Harborview Hospital...
