Surnames: Bates Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/6092 Message Board Post: I am looking to make contact with the children of Charles LeRoy Bates and Grace Katherine Seeley. They were married on November 22, 1935. Grace was the daughter of Alva Seeley and Sylvia Squires and was born on April 2, 1918 in MI and died October 27, 1990 in Cattaraugus. Grace had a brother, Merton Alva Seeley who was my grandfather. Charles was born Aug 8, 1913 in Cattaraugus, I believe the son of Irving and Maude Bates of New Albion. Charles and Grace had six children that I know of: 1) Donna May Bates -married Richard Cummings 2) Nora S. Bates -married Don Sterling 3) Gerald Maxwell Bates 4) LeRoy Charles Bates 5) Katherine Ann Bates 6) Dennis Charles Bates As far as I know Charles and Grace lived in Cattanuguas. I am pretty sure that Grace died there. I would like to contact their children in order to share with them the family history that I have compiled on their mother, Grace. I hope it will be a blessing to them. If you can help, I would be greatful. Please contact me directly at tim.kalee@dcsmich.com. Thank You.
