Surnames: Russell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oZEBAIB/3270.3272.1 Message Board Post: I am new at this, but I am also looking for ancestors. I know (i think) I have a grandmother whose name was Jean (or "Jeanne") but Russell was her married name. She lived in Connecticut. I'm guessing your "Jeanne" has Russell as the maiden name but just making sure. I'd appreciate any information you may have.
