I was born on September 17th, 1956 in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York, at the Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital. My birth mothers name was Mary Courtney and this was her married name. I dont know my birth fathers name, although I know they were married. The time of birth was 2:02 p.m. and was a single birth according to the birth certificate IҒm allowed to see. My adoptive parents told me, that at the time I was born, my birth parents (Mary Courtney & Husband) lived on Tupper Street in Buffalo, NY. Arthur William Welsch and Nellie Alfreda Welsch (Rainey) adopted me, and during this time lived at 494 Carlton Ave., Buffalo, NY. Arthur Welsch was a Fireman for the City of Buffalo. I have the original hospital bill for my birth. The bill is made out to like this:Mrs. Mary Courtney3rd.My adoptive father Arthur W. Welsch paid this bill on September 23rd, 1956.
