Surnames: Rogness Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jVB.2ACE/26 Message Board Post: contact me at Stickneys@alltel.net My name is Mary Lee Rogness; I was born in Iowa City Iowa. I am looking for information on my father who died when I was 2. His name is Robert Roy Rogness, born 02/15/1927, died 11/22/1963.He married my Mother in 1957 in Iowa City Iowa. I am getting conflicting information as to what his parents names are. He would not talk about his side of the family to my mother.He would get mad and change the subject, every time she brought it up. He would only say he was born in Gold Stone Montana and his mothers name was Rose. I ordered a birth certificate from Montana, and there was not one on file. I also ordered a birth certificate from Michigan and there was not one there either.He applied for his Social Security Card in Rugby North Dakota on May 25,1954. On his Social Security SS5 application it says: He was born Big Rapids Michigan Father: Robert John Rogness Mother: Alice McKinzie DOB 02/15/1927 On his and my Mothers marriage certificate it says: He was born Gold Stone Montana Father: Gulleck Sven Rogness Mother: Rose Swenson DOB 02/15/1927 My mother met my father in 1956 , they went to the First Church of the Nazrene. They were married up until he died in 1963. He left my mother with 3 kids , 2,4, and 6 years old, and 8 months pregnant with a fourth.My youngest brother was born 2 weeks after our dad died. We drew death benefits from that SS# , so I know it is the correct one. We lived at1205 S. Riverside Drive, Iowa City Iowa, up until he got to sick to work. Then we moved to 603 1st avenue, Iowa City Iowa. He was there 2 months then had to be put in a nursing home, until he died. He died the same day as Kennedy was assassinated. I have been told (by my uncle of course), that he bought and sold guns. he also told me this story: My Dad and my grandfather were in a bar. After my dad left ,a guy came up to my grandfather and told him "I knew Bob, when he lived in California and had 4 kids. My uncle also used to ride with my dad in the moving van (American Red Ball), my dad was always looking for a place that had Western Union services. Also , when my father was in the hospital with the brain tumor that killed him, some lady called our house looking for him, several times. I do not know any of his family. If he has brothers or sisters.Where he went to school. My father used to write to the Government allot. My uncle was at our house one day when he got a reply from the White house. To a letter he had written, saying "So and So" was worse than Hoffa". My uncle could not remember the So and so's name. I know nothing except that he was in or around Rugby ND in1954. Rugby ND is walking distance from Canada and the border was not guarded there then. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=stickneys<br> http://www.genealogy.com/users/r/o/g/Mary-L-Rognessstickney/</p>

Is anyone aware of any gypsy or Jewish families that lived in Wells Co. at the turn of the 20th century? Jill

I am looking for information on the wife of Jacob Frieh who lived in Wells Co. at the turn of the century. Her first name was Lizzie and last name is uncertain. She was born in Russia in 1866, came to the US in 1886, and died around 1908 (cause unknown). She had an uncertain ethnicity--varied reports have her as German Russian, Jewish, and/or gypsy (Romani). Does anyone know anything? Jill
