Your grandmother, Florence Brandos and my grandmother, Ruth Ralston Johnson, were sisters! Your grandmother and another sister Marie Tomlinson visited my grandmother back in the 60's or early 70's. I was a kid but I know it was then because our great-grandmother (their mother Mary Ralston) was gone and she died in 1965. Their sister, Doris Wedo, compiled a family history book about 20 or 25 years ago and I have a copy. My dad lives here in Waukon and he can tell you lots more. He and his mom and brother lived in California for a time in the forties and so he knows your family too. Please email me at [email protected] or call me 568-3075 or call my dad Milbourn Johnson at568-2034. There are quite a few relatives over this direction. There is also a Ralston reunion every June in Cresco. Hope we hear from you.
