Surnames: Bruce Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XOG.2ACIB/1272 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Samuel W. Bruce, born in PA about 1846-7 of an Irish born father and a Swedish born mother. Samuel married Amelia Jenkins Duban, widow of Alfred Duban, in Philadelphia in Nov, 1870 and was still living in Philadelphia in the 1880 census. I would love to move back a generation to find his parents' names, but I have been unable to locate him living with his parents (1850 possibly thru the1870 census). Any help out there?
