Jerry D. Your reply to Bette about finding names in the Pila (Schneidmuhle) area tweeked me. My father, Otto Albert Ross, came from the town of Linde (now Lipka) and I think that many of the other Ross's came from the Linde, Battrow and Flatow areas. Can you find any info on the name Ross or Rohs from these areas. My father immigrated to the US in 1922. Arnold Otto Ross
