Hi Jane, I thought it had been quiet! I'm back with a new address so please note the change in your address books out there. If you have a "reply to all" button all you have to do to make a private reply is delete the list address. I find it quick and easier than typing in the address. The last line I sent was Brainerd I think. Russell is the enigma. I have been searching for this over thirty years and it is my grandmother's paternal line. This is a long file so those who are not interested in this should delete. Ancestors of Addison E. Russell Generation No. 1 1. Addison E.

I have been trying to on the LI Rooters list but still no luck. There was a Samuel Russell in Sag Harbor where Stephen was and my have been his father but so far no proof. I am hoping there may be another family in CT that may have noted his lineage.
