Surnames: RAMSEY HUDSPETH Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/2842.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Unfortunately, for DNA testing, the only living RAMSEY male would be a descendent of the James W. Ramsey b.1884, if there is one. After his death, unknown date, his widow and son "went out to California". Only my mother-in-law remembers there was an Uncle Jim and Aunt Jess Ramsey. Our Ramseys seem to have had a very HIGH percentage of deaths from kidney disease, male and female. Plus the added problem of the generation of siblings being very spread out in age and location, not communicating with each other. I love a good challenge, don't you? Thanks for the possible matches; I'll look them up.
