Tom, I sure wish I could make a connection. William had a dau. Cecil M. Was b. Aug 17, 1890, in Elkhart Co., IN. too!!! I wonder???? All the info I have posted came from William's obit. That is really the only info I have on his father, and siblings. I also have an article from the local paper, in Millersburg, IN, that William's father came to visit his dau. Nettie (my gma) in 1915, and was living in Columbus, OH then. I have another "unconfirmed" report, that William's father James was m. in 1854, in Fayette Co., OH. William was b. in 1858 in Ross Co., OH, according to his marriage and death certificate. If your Celia was b. in 1830, I doubt if she is a sister to William, but she could be a sister to his father?? I do not have any information that his father, James was any place other than OH. Keep me posted if you think you can make a connection, or perhaps together we can figure out the "puzzle". Toni in Michigan PS...I also had family in Kosciusko and Noble Co., RINK, and ROGERS Tom Mulligan wrote: > Toni, like the rest of the Anderson searchers, I'm seeing tons of Anderson notes.
