It was Marion Ross, who celebrated her 79th birthday just yesterday.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01386406270744275223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13196976.post-12531658406656579472007-10-26T01:52:00.000-04:002007-10-26T01:52:00.000-04:00Dana and Hannah Wright<BR/>had two daughters (plus a few sons):<BR/>Emma bca: 1888<BR/>Hannah bca: 1858<BR/><BR/>Hannah seems to have died before 1870, so that leaves Emma as the daughter.<BR/><BR/>I did MANY census searches here, and kept going farther and farther back, finding more children.<BR/>I found a Rootsweb family tree that referenced Dana in the 1910 SD Census. In that census, he was living with Emma's family.<BR/><BR/>Emma married Alexander Ross<BR/>They had 4 sons (plus a few daughters):<BR/>Walter A Ross bca: July 1887<BR/>Gordon W Ross b: 9 Oct 1888<BR/>Donald Morrison Ross b: 24 Sep 1897<BR/>Alexander bca: 1888<BR/><BR/>So one of those four Ross sons has to be the father of the still living famous daughter.<BR/><BR/>I focused on Alexander for a while, since he was the youngest and you said the famous person was still living. I widened that search after MANY long, fruitless searches.<BR/><BR/>Did a search in Google for: actress ross "south dakota"<BR/><BR/>Found that Marion Ross was born in MN in 1928 (after looking in IMDB.COM).<BR/><BR/>I found her living with her parents in the 1930 MN census. Her father was Gordon W Ross, born in SD.<BR/><BR/>Debdebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05362011861463622240noreply@blogger.com
