I am looking for information about my great grandfather, John Snell. His wife's maiden name was Rogers. He was the father of my grandmother, Mary Ann (born about 1861) and her sisters, Alice and Maude. Some of his descendants (one was John Jones) farmed near Delhi at least as late as 1950. At that time Alice lived in Dubuque with her son Bert Jones and his wife Alvina and grandson Merle. Merle was born in 1924 and may now live in Davenport. John Snell was said to be a cousin of Queen Victoria. He may have been born in 1825 in England. I would appreciate any assistance or suggestions you can provide about my great-grandfather or any of his relatives. Yours truly, Frank Ross. (fross@onecliq.net
