I just subscribed to ancestry.com and have reached a brick wall. I discovered by paternal grandfather (Jasper Bennett Ross) was born 28 Apr 1884, in Puerto Rico. He died 13 Jan 1972, in Hawaii. One of the documents he completed showed that his father (Fredrick Bennett Ross) was born in "Europe," and his mother (Josephine Rivera Villahermoza) was born in Puerto Rico. Despite searching everywhere, I cannot find any additional information. on my grandfather nor his parents. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many, many thanks in advance. iuki

Ancestry.com is great, but doesn't have all the answers. Get his birth and death certificates. They will often have information about parents. For Puerto Rico, try http://www.prfaa.com/services.asp?id=44 For Hawaii, start at http://www.hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html You may need to examine LDS films. Start here to see what they have on Puerto Rico, http://www.familysearch.org/ Library tab then Family History library catalog tab, then do some searching for Puerto Rico. Good luck
