Hi Rosalene, We're looking for a William Ross born about 1880 . . . we have no parents, no birthpace (although we've been told either GA or TN), no sibling names although there were reportedly about 13, no death date. Nothing! Would you happen to have names of any of the grandchildren of your Andrew Ross and would our William Ross fit in somewhere? Reaching for straws . . .
