My name is Mary Lee Rogness; I was born in Iowa City Iowa. I am
looking for information on my father who died when I was 2. His name
is
Robert Roy Rogness, born 02/15/1927, died 11/22/1963. He married my
Mother in 1957 in Iowa City Iowa.

I am getting conflicting information as to what his parents names are.
He would not talk about his side of the family to my mother. He would
get mad and change the subject, every time she brought it up. He would
only say he was born in GoldStone Montana and that his mothers name
was rose.

I ordered a birth certificate from Montana, and there was not one on
file
He applied for the Social Security Card in Rugby North Dakota on May
25,1954. no certificate there either...

On his Social Security Card application it says:
He was born Big Rapids Michigan
Father: Robert John Rogness
Mother: Alice McKinzie

I also ordered a birth certificate from Michigan and there was not
one there either.

On his and my Mothers marriage certificate it says:
He was born Gold Stone Montana
Father: Gulleck Sven Rogness
Mother: Rose Swenson


Any information or ideas would be appreciated.

I have been working on this for about 1 year so far.
