My dad was born Danny Thomas Snipes in March of 1959. His mothers name was Katie Lee (Bland, Green,Upton not sure) She later moved to AZ where she died of emphasema. We think that he has 7 sisters. 1 possibly lived in Portsmouth, VA. 1 Possibly lived in Kingsly, GA. 2 Possibly lived in AZ, NM area. We think he had a brother who was also adopted first name possibly Butch. All these children may not have had the same fathers. We do know that there was an Aunt who lived in Norfolk, VA on Bangor Ave, named Mary Mathews who has since passed. All we know about my dad's father is that his last name was snipes and he was in the Navy possibly.
When my father was adopted his name was changed to John Hall Jr. He was adopted from his home in NC by John and Gladys Hall. Katie Lee and some of my dads sisters lived on Bangor in Norfolk for a while with Ms. Mathews right accross the street where my dads new home was at the time. Katie Lee was quite fond of my Great Aunt Alma Hall and her daughter Cheryl. If you have any info can you please email me.
