Hi. On my mother's side we have links with the Curtiss family. She had said that she was related to Glenn Curtiss of the Curtiss Wright Bros fame, although he was born in the US.
The info I have starting with my grandmother is:
Ida Emma Curtiss, born January 3, 1888, St Kilda, Victoria, Australia, died 19 August 1957 Melbourne.
Her father - Thomas E. Curtiss, born 7 December 1858, St Kilda, Vic, died 11 May 1917 Melbourne
His father Thomas Curtiss, born 1828, Nottingham, England, married 1854 St Kilda Vic, died Melbourne 1885
His father - Thomas Curtiss, born 1795, Wallrudding Farm Notts.
(I have some more detail on their wives' families if anyone is interested.)
Does anyone know anything of the Curtiss family in the US and possible links to England?
