Best Answer

Gerald Ford was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. on July 14, 1913, to his father Leslie Lynch King Sr. and Dorothy King, formerly Dorothy Ayer Gardner. His parents separated shortly after his birth and divorced that same year.

On February 1, 1916, Dorothy married Gerald Rudolff Ford, and changed the future President's name to Gerald Rudolff Ford, Jr. The future president was never formally adopted, however, and he did not legally change his name until December 3, 1935; he also used a more conventional spelling of his middle name, Rudolph.
