      I am searching for two sons of Reed Denzer and Lorraine Pettit. They had 3 children- Merle, Marvin and Thomas between 1940 and 1943. We are told that Marvin had been adopted by other family members, and may be living with a different last name. Thomas we were told was taken by Social Services in about 1948 and adopted to an unknown family with out the consent of his parents. We do not know what Thomas's name may be now. Merle was not taken away.

      These children were removed from their home in Glendale, MN in about 1948. Their father Reed, had been away in WWII, and they had lived in a trailer home with their mother, and possibly her parents. We do not know the complete circumstances surrounding the situation, but the family is looking for the two brothers. If you have any information that can help us locate these two men, please contact me.
