Curt Doolittle
Paternal: De Dolietta (normandy) > Surrey > Northumberland > Lancashire (and London) > New Haven > Wallingford > Middletown. “Very Severe Puritans” Literate, Political *and* military.
Maternal: Sirois/Theriault/Oulette (Loire Valley) > Acadia > Maine > Connecticut. Family almost destroyed by the depression really. Catastrophic for them. Interesting how inverted the family conditions became during the pre and postwar period. Some rise so me fall.
Both ‘middle class’ families with a mix of farming and professions. Both great grandfathers ‘political’ personalities. French catholic democrat, Anglo puritan republican. just what you would expect. Farmers, Lawyers and teachers on maternal side, officers, businessmen and authors on paternal side. But mostly middle class.
