Descendants of Charles Wallace Ross - Calgary
« on: Friday 25 August 23 16:49 BST (UK) »
I have come across some slides of a wedding in Calgary in the early 1970s.  My grandfather from Akron, Ohio took the pictures while visiting his cousin.  I would like to pass the pictures along to the girl (bride) in the photos, but have lost my notes (pre-computer) on the family names. 

I believe I have tracked his cousin correctly to be a Charles Wallace Ross, who passed away in 2000.  The families trace back to when they were emigrating from Glasgow, Scotland area in the 1920s.  Is it possible to find an obituary for him?
