Adri.....i made that connection based on research my uncle Gary did..........i am not sure if this is our ancestor or not...............i only have confirmed............Pop's dad.........James Henry Ruddell......and his mother......Bessie May Waters...............i will try more later...............

So i am not 100% on this being Pop's 1st relative here............................and so many of the names are the same..........there are tons of Johns, Stephens, etc............and these websites are not always 100% accurate......................................i DO know Pop's parents..................Nana told me and so did my mother...............that much i am sure of..............







One of my 1st ancestors.........to come to the USA.......the start of the Ruddell family......my mother's side.......
