250. KYLeeFamily : Searching for Helen, Patty and Gary Lee who were placed for adoption at the Mary Kendall Home in Owensboro, KY in 1943. They were the children of LaNora Mae Giddens Lee (born 1908) and Lawrence Lee (born November 5, 1907.) When LaNora died August 21, 1943 and their father was serving in World War II, the children were placed in the Mary Kendall Home. A brother, Jimmie, born in 1933 was placed with Robert and Letha Hill of Scottsville, KY. Letha was the sister of their father, Lawrence. I am a descendant of the Lee Family.
