Nope he worked for the Railroad in Washington DC around 1922 and my grandfathers birth certificate only showed the state in which his father was born which was SD and no County. tonight I've been reading up on the history of the RR in Washington DC to see what RR copanis where operating there at the time. and my GGranmother was listed with her maiden name on the birth certificate but that leads me in nother direction. the only other things ive come up with is to start the pain staking task of checking the census records for him but Im not sure it will list anything. since almost everyone in SD seems to be a Ramsdell and not a Ransdell. So im kinda stuck unless I can find someone who has a Ransdell that moved to SD. the only other thing im hoping to find is an obituary from my GGranfather he did die early about when my Grandfather was 13 so im thinking it might have been a train related accident but not sure just a guess.
