Hi Gail,

Thank you for the information on the Russell Family. The only thing I
know about my connection to the Russell's is that my great-great grandmother
was a Russell, but I don't know her name. This is on my father's side. My
maiden name is Williams.

I certainly will check out this book that you got the information you sent
from.

Keep in touch "cuz".

Alison
