Most of my ancestors of this generation were born in the USA and with some I'd have to go back several generations to find an immigrant. This was a fun exersize. I learned I need to do more research on this generation to find marriage dates, etc. Thanks,Randy for the suggestion.

  1. Solomon and Louisa Abrams are my great-grandparents. I am the granddaughter of Charles/Charley Abrams. I started today searching through websites to create a record for my children. Do you happen to have any other information regarding Solomon and Louisa Abrams? Thanks! ~ Tracy Abrams

  2. Hi Tracy! If you have an Ancestry.com account, the information I have on Solomon and Louisa is there. My tree name is Gamble Family Tree. It's a public tree. I don't have any stories about them or anything. They were my Great-great grandparents. My grandfather was only 2 when Solomon passed away so he didn't remember anything about him.
