Valmae, I am in the midst of creating a brief history of my family, as I know it.
We'll keep in touch.
In addition, I know that my Sylvanus was NOT Jesse and Elizabeth's child. My line extends from Henry Russ (b1697), then Sylvanus (b1746), then Paul Russ (c1773) then to Sylvanus (b1808), then to Paul Russ (b1829), then his son Paul Sylvanus Russ (b1860) then my father, and finally me.....
All of these details are on the Mormon website (http://www.familysearch.org), under various RUSS ancestral files, from various researchers.
In addition, since you're an Aussie, I assume you've heard of the RUSS Cottage Museum at DONGARA, W.A. It was built by Titus and Caroline Russin 1871. Titus Russ was the eldest son of Absolum (b1806) and Clementina Russ. They immigrated to Australia around 1850. Absolum was my GGG Grandfather Sylvanus's brother.
