Searching for brothers
Hello,
My adopted niece has asked me to help her find her brothers.We don't know their names, but with the information we have, we are hoping someone can point us in the right direction to find them.Here is the information we have for their parents.
Father- Michael Dewayne (Dwayne) Howard, born Jan 3, 1955, in Mariemont, Hamilton County, Ohio; son of Randolph Howard & Olive Beatrice Humphries Howard; had a brother named Randall.Michael served in the Navy in the 70's.He was previously married and had two sons.He moved to Georgia, but we don't know when, and we don't know if his first wife and sons were with him, or not.
Mother- Cathy Lee Roland (Rowland), born Jul 18, 1961, in Eastman, Dodge County, Georgia; daughter of John R. Roland (Rowland), b. 1913, & Daisy Singleterry (Singletary) Roland, b. 1926.Cathy's brothers and sister are Kenny, Calvin, and Peggy May.Cathy had a son in 1979, but we don't know if she was married at the time, or not.
Michael & Cathy Lee were married in Georgia, we believe.We've heard their combined three sons were removed from them and placed in foster care.They may have been adopted, but we don't know for sure.We know Michael & Cathy Lee were in Tifton, Tift County, Georgia, in late 1989, because that's where my niece was born.In 1991, they were living with relatives in Laurens County, Georgia.In late 1991, my niece was removed from them and placed in foster care.She was later adopted by my sister and brother-in-law.
My niece has been a member of our family for most of her life, and we love her dearly.She has no desire to find her birth parents, but would like to locate her brothers, if possible.We know this isn't much to go on, but it's all the information we have.Any information anyone may have on them would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
