Cindy, You're wonderful! I can't stop the tears! Both of the Russ members listed in your reference are my ancestors. One my 2g grandfather, the other being the son of his oldest brother. I can't begin to tell you how much this means to me. I greatly appreciate your genuine welcome to the Bedford area and for providing this reference to me. You will be truly blessed in return for your kindness. My mother will be deeply touched with this information considering she only knew of her grandparents. I can't wait to share it with her tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you on the mailing list/message boards as I continue to research my Russ family in TN.
