While Rose is my maiden name it isn't really. My grandfather came over in 1913? and since he has passed I do not know what his surname really was. The various census have Rossel, Rose, and Ross.
The WWI registration says Rose but the WWII says Ross. All of them have the first name of Peter. Although his oldest sons death certificate lists his fathers name as Pato. Nickname? My father has passed also. His application for social security has his home town as Paliano, Italy. It is southeast of Rome. He has been my unsurmountable brick wall.
