Greetings: I have been working on my EDWARDS, RAND, and WILLIAMS genealogy for awhile now. However, to avoid list congestion, I shall represent my RAND ancestors. I am seeking any connections/descendants/relations of Willis RAND, my paternal great, great grandfather. Oral family history has it that Willis may have come from Oklahoma (pending verification). As it stands, Willis RAND's known residence was Dallas Co, AL. He was born during the "enslavement" period ca. 1850. Willis married a Fannie (maiden name unknown; also born ca. 1850). Of thier sons, my paternal great grandfather, was Archie/Arch RAND born ca. 1870 (Dallas Co. AL). Archie eventually married Ella EDWARDS. Joseph RAND (b. 1911; still living) is one of thier sons'. Joseph was born in Safford, Dallas Co. AL. Now, Rev. Joseph RAND married Bessie WILLIAMS (b. 3 Sep 1915; d. 10 Sep 1965) of Safford, Dallas, Co. AL. Both Joseph and Bessied relocated to San Francisco, CA in 1942. They had three children, two daughters and one son--Delores, Artheia, and Cleophas respectively. Cleophas Clyde RAND was my father (d. 26 Jul 1986). Do these names ring a bell? Let me know. Thank you so much! Karim ALDRIDGE-RAND
