Tory: I read with interest your account of your RUSSELL family in Georgia. I have just started my search for my ancestor, Malissa Russel(l), who family records show as having been born in Georgia (county is not known)in 1831. I know nothing about her ancestry. However, she married John Green, we have gingerly assumed to be in Georgia, prior to 1850, and based upon family records, it appears they moved around a bit, including to Alabama and Mississippi. Might my Malissa tie in to your RUSSELL family. Since you live in Georgia and I am in a small California town, do you have any suggestions on where I might start my search? Thanks, Fawn Kennedy Dessy
