Surnames: PATTERSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/882.1 Message Board Post: I'm looking for the parents of my gg-grandfather, Frank Patterson. I don't believe "my" Frank and "your" Frank are the same person, however, I'm wondering if you might know if your Frank had a son with the same name, also two daughters, Nora and Mabel. My Frank is first found in the 1880 census in Southport, Schuyler County, NY living as the 8 year old "adopted son" of Robert and Bridget Patterson. With Southport being basically a part of Elmira, I wonder if these two people are related. I'll be happy to provide more details. Thanks for anything you can tell me!!
