Looking for more info on Albert Ware he was married to Rose or Rosa Ware. I was told they came from England 1841 is as far back as I could go. I think it is the oldest village still in existence. He was my grandfather’s dad his name was Roger Ware and his wife was Nettie Ware.
I knew there were some saps in the WARE family somewhere
Takes a maple tree to bring ’em out. Good one Vicki.
