Hi, I'm new to this site and just happened to notice the name GROSS. I am researching my paternal line of GROSS that is mostly from the Honaker and Russell County area. If anyone has any info on the GROSS family, please contact me. Thanks. Willie Groce, Charles Harvey Gross and Bessie (Elizabeth) A. Haywood Gross (her mother was Rachel Haywood), Henry Harvey Gross and Lila Vance Gross, Alben Gross and Elizabeth ??? Bessie and her mom were supposed to be Seminole. Bessie had a brother James and a sister Mindy. I am so new and have hit a dead end, I don't know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Betty Lyle Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2008 5:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VARUSSEL] "What part of Va?"
