Hi, Maybe I am REALLY grabbing at straws but I will give it a shot. I am looking for my g/g/g father James Rose born abt 1848 married to Nancy Jane Guy Wells had following children I know of: Taylor, Frank, Lewis, Jeannie, and Ida. Settled in Claiborne County Tn. I can find NO information on my James Rose. He was part Cherokee. I have been told he may have been a Ross and changed the spelling of his name. Sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in Advance, Sharon Earls

To all fellow cousins(whether related or not), My trip to Delaware this past week was disappointing for me but I copied everything that had a ROSS name on the page. I will start sending the found exerpts from these pages in hope it will be helpful to someone else. I will be sending things as I have time due to taking some vacation time during the month of August. If you find any of this helpful I just want you to know I don't have any further information than what is written. Good luck, Kathy

I copied several things from Chalkley's as you can see, just thought it might be of help to someone. Most of you probably know of this, I just found it! This just scratches the surface.

Allritee-then (I asked Jim Carey's permission to say that) This is not working. There are a bunch of sneaky guys on this list who (surely nice people) pretended to commiserate with me and then sneak in a plug to ask help for finding THEIR elusive Rosses---- well, nice try. This time it is about ME. I stayed up alllll night with toothpicks keeping my eyes open so that I could make a little web site to entertain and educate you about David (Hide and seek) ROSS. I drank so much coffee my bladder is two sizes larger and I am twitching uncontrollably. My dog went into hiding and my wife remains estranged, ostensibly to "find herself." She was not willing to stay and help me find David Ross.... no she had to find herself... how selfish when it is about ME ME ME. http://members.aol.com/fourc/ross.text.html Go there, memorize every word, venture out.. take the bull by the horns, bite the bullet, eat crow, take no prisoners, sharpen your swords, peel your eyeballs, take your medication, BEAT THE BUSHES (No!! NO!! not the presidential candidate or former president--- by God I don't want the secret service to do anything but look for David ROSS) The reward in unclaimed and there are hundreds of my ROSS ancestors waiting for me to open up the light of consciousness to their existence and YOU hold the key to that light switch. The reward to he/she who gets me documentable proof of David's birthplace and parents names is 5 Sawbucks. an additional 5 sawbucks will go to whomever can take me over to Scotland and into confirmable contact with more of my David Ross' ancestors. Bless you, my brethern and sisteren. You can do it. Peter Hey-- isn't this better than Bush/Gore campaign rhetoric? (If anyone is irritated by this, remember my email address and dump me into the trash before reading this. If you read it and then complain----rrrrrrrt invalid complaint)

My, am I ever sorry!!! I'm just learning to do this, and did I ever do something wrong!!! Sure hope this doesn't come through several times.
