Surnames: Anderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wl.2ADIB/8594.1 Message Board Post: My father James Anderson was born in Birmingham, AL. His father's name was Henry Buford Anderson. Henry Buford was the son of William Walter. The names were close so I thought you might need to fill in some blanks. If it is possible the your Henry's middle name was Buford I can help you from there. Willaim Walter Anderson was born in 1853, my grandfather was born in 1894. Let me know if this helps.
