CONCLUDING NOTES BY COUSIN SAM
On Monday, February 21 of this Year (2011), I began transcribing and posting much of the content of "ROSS FAMILY RECORD" self published by Henry Ross Wiggs in 1971. It contains a preface, acknowledgements, and over 40 family charts, plus biographical sketches, and other information. I have included some additional information and updates, and will try to add any new information I may receive.
On April 22, I completed that transcription with the exception of charts R-39, R-40, and $-41, which have now (July 26) been included in this post.
As I understand, Mr. Wiggs made a number of copies of the Ross Family Record for the descendants of Maria Jane Beamish, and one of the copies came to me with some old family albums and scrap books. He wrote out his charts by hand, copied them with the technology of that time, and put them together in 8 1/2 by 11 portfolio covers. The pages are now yellowed, and the ink beginning to fade, but it is a treasure to be shared, and not kept hidden in a storage box in a dark closet.
Anyone having additional information, items of interest, or corrections is invited to either leave a comment or, preferably, send it to me at rfsamt@gmail.com
