    Mom says this can not be right. They have her in the 3rd grade. She said they moved to Turner in 1932 and they made her go back a grade. She said the 2 Farver girls (cousins) mentioned in the 3rd grade were a lot older than her. Maybe she does not remember?? I will show her the article tomorrow. I only talked to her on the phone about this. …

  • Notes 
    • BIRTH: 26 Dec 1924 Bay City, MI

      NAME: Betty Mae Osborne. Betty's original registration of birth has her name spelled wrong... Bettie May Osborne. I remember mom some years back saying she went to the court house to get her name spelled right on her birth certificate because it would mess up her social security. Her school records listed her as Betty Mae Osborne. Her school record in 1930 lists her as going to Fremont School in Bay City with an address of 1218 Marsac St. Her birth certificate was corrected on Feb 7, 1984. The school records are some of the things she used to prove how she spelled her name.

      PARENTS: Mother Mabel Fern Seeley. DNA tests have shown that her biological father was not Norman Osborne who was married to her mother and who raised her. DNA tests have shown that her biological father was Glaud Phelps. Some of the DNA tests consist of the following:
      William Pugh, Jr whose mother was Doris Phelps (grandson of Levi and Anna; and child of Alvin) His DNA at 541 cM’s matching is consistent with 1st cousin once removed. This would mean that my mother’s father is a brother of Alvin Phelps.
      Randy Gulick (grandson of Levi and Anna’s daughter Lydia) at 291 cM’s matching DNA. This is consistent with the lower end of a 1st cousin once removed relationship. This also means that my mother’s father is a brother of Lydia Phelps.
      Harold Gulick (son of Levi and Anna’s daughter Lydia). This match was at 874 cM’s, which is a first cousin match. This also means that my mother’s father is a brother of Lydia Phelps.
      Mooremaggie23 is a granddaughter of Glaud’s son Frederick. If mother was a child of Glaud, then Frederick would be a ½ brother, his child would be a ½ niece, and his grandchild would be a ½ grandniece. The match was 430 cM’s, which is fully consistent with a match of ½ grandniece.

      MARRIAGE: 24 Feb 1945 to Ervin Felsing in Bay City, MI

      RESIDENCE: Born in Bay City.
      By 1935 lived in Turner, MI.
