Here's what I was told: there were two CURIT families (probably lines), one from Freeport, the other from Yarmouth. As these towns are next to each other, I find it hard to believe they aren't from the same line somewhere... Anyway, the two had nothing to do with each other, at least since the 1940's or so. The father of the woman I work with did hang around with a cousin Harland, but not your Harland. Interestingly, I checked the phone book and there are a quite a few CURITS in Freeport, a couple in Yarmouth, one in Falmouth (Chebeague Island) and a bunch in Portland. If you aren't familiar with the area, the towns run Freeport, Yarmouth, Cumberland, Falmouth and Portland, from north to south. Not much else I can add, other than I could find birth certificates and such for you if it would be of help to you. I ought to be able to locate most pretty easily as you have approximate dates of birth from the censuses. Let me know if you need some help :-). Sean
