Since I can't tear down my brick wall on my mom's side, I figured I would take a crack at my dad's family. Which, by the way, I know very, very little. I guess, I will start with the parents of my grandmother, Rosa Ward (born 12/13/10). She died in Wisconsin, 7/5/63. Rosa was born in Mississippi. I don't know their names. She married Chapman (or Chatman) Myers and they had one son George (my father). She later married Jackson Tripp (I believe in Wisconsin). She had a sister, but I'm not sure of her name. My mom seems to think it was Mary. Mary had a son, Robert Tolliver. Robert was married to Lora and lived in Detroit Michigan. Okay, I think that's all I have for now. HELP!!!
I have a copy of her birth certificate. It list her father as Ranaon Ward and no name for her mother. I have a picture of someone name Handsome Ward, but that's the closest name to Ranaon.
