His name was Harry Marnick and he died in 1995 according to the social security death
index. His family was from NY but I don't know much about him. He was rather the
black sheep of the family. His only son Robert was raised in a foster home and only
really had a relationship with his father in the last four years of his life. Harry went
from NY and lived in Homesdale PA for many years. He had a brother Clifford but I
don't know about other siblings. He had a daughter Ginger who is in NY and was raised
by her Mom. Robert and Ginger are sister and brother. Robert was born in 1950 and Ginger
in 1952. Ginger still uses the Marnick name. Harry
left the childrens Mother before 1957. He took Robert and then due to his drinking he
left him in foster care somewhere
instead of giving him back to his Mom. To this day they do not have a relationship (mom
and sister are not on speaking terms with Robert who is now in Calif). Robert I believe
had 4 or 5 children. My adoptee that I was helping (also a child of
Harry's) was born in Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn in 1958 and given the last name
Marnick after her father at birth,
prior to adoption. The birthmom who we do not have a name
for yet, we only know her name was "Dottie" probably short
for Dorothy. She had 6 children prior to giving birth to the
Marnick child. So it has been a long complicated search.
However it does seem that the adoptee and her brother are
trying to build a relationship and hopefully something positive will come of it. Best
Regards
