I've been searching for my heritage for some time now.. Russells are impossible. My grandfather was William Francis Russell. Born Feb. 22, 1916 in Toon/ Boliver TN. The furthest I have is his father. Walter Francis Russell b. Feb. 28, 1880, Henderson County, TN. Married Margaret Hooper. He died in Bemis, TN. Do these names ring a bell with anyone??
