Hi Mary Lee, I was trying out some new CDs I have and there are several Rogness' listed as living in California at one time or another. Have you tried looking up Rogness in any of the online phone directories? Have you thought about sending for any Social Security files for any issued in California. They might be part of his "other family". I just looked in the San Diego phone book and there are 2 listed. C. R. Rogness 858-565-0777 Curtis A. Rogness 858-278-1862 Are you up to making a phone call? Diana, San Diego
