Hi Gail, Thank you for the information on the Russell Family. The only thing I know about my connection to the Russell's is that my great-great grandmother was a Russell, but I don't know her name. This is on my father's side. My maiden name is Williams. I certainly will check out this book that you got the information you sent from. Keep in touch "cuz".
