Surnames: Russell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4NC.2ACE/1262 Message Board Post: I've been trying for some years to find that nationality/country-of-origin of my Russell ancestors. The info. I have states that my great-grandfather, George Marshall Russell, was b. abt. 1833 in Queensbury, York Co., NB. His other sibs included William Converse (b. abt. 1835) and Eliz. Emma (b. abt 1837). Their father was William Russell (b abt 1803 in NB) who m. Eliz.Ann Browne (b. 1809, d. 1864 in Havelock, NB). I have no further info. on this William. Is there anyone "out there" who might have a Russell connection to this branch? I know the surname Russell is a very common one! Thanks for any leads! N.Russell Hutchinson
