breaking news
was Ted adopted?
I think he had a true brother John E. Braden and a step-brother later
Not sure yet who's mom John E. Braden was?
UPDATE TO POST
Mary Helen Decker was Ted Jr's real mother. She had been married to Ted Burdette Braden Sr. when she had Ted Jr.
So Ted Jr had a brother John E. Braden but then he had a younger step brother Clifford Eugene Dearbaugh Jr. born in 1932.
She then married Clifford Eugene Dearbaugh Sr in 1930, so Ted Jr. would have been a baby?
So that Ted Jr kind of moved into the new family situation as a baby?
