Surnames: Shamp, Ellingson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wIB.2ACI/288 Message Board Post: I'm looking for information on my great grandfather Benjamin F Shamp born 1896. He married Gladys Jeanette Ellingson (daughter of Christ and Anna Ellingson). They have five Children Margaret, James, Delories, Vaughn (my grandfather) and Lorraine. Benjamin was a police officer in Willmar and died in 1931. I don' t know his parents name but am searching for Henry B and Viola E Shamp that may have been his parents. They have Mira, Rolph and Bee listed on a 1880 census as children. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Tracy (Shamp) Critchfield [email protected]
