Surnames: Purcell, Harris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0k.2ADE/782.989.3.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: My Gosh, Richard Andrew Harris is also my gg grandfather. After Surrelda died he married Alice Bogecki (sp?). They had seven children, two who died when young, I have found him on the census living with Benjamin and Sylvia [Harris] Laporte, listed as Andrew. I have a xerox of his obituary. I have searched for any record of his parents George and Lucretia but cannot find anything. He was born in Corunna, Michigan and came to live with his aunt when he was young. Near as I can place it, he was about 5-6 years old. Surrelda was the child of Alexander Purcell and Elizabeth Brown. Henry Purcell, her brother was a witness at the wedding of Alice and Richard's in 1905. If you have any info on Richard or his parents I would be so grateful if you would share. Linda in Calif
