Ross Family Surname

[SomethingSteph]

I am very interested in your search because it's somewhat similar to my search. My dad's last name is Ross. He died in 1985 when I was 5 years old. I don't know much about him or is family. I was the product of an affair. My whole life I have wondered where my dad's family originated from. So a few years ago I started my own search on ancestry.com. well ancestry.com says that the last name Ross is of Scottish. But I know from seeing pics of my dad and from what people tell me , he was not Scottish. So I came up with that his mom and dad migrated from Pennsylvania in the early 1900's . And I kept getting other people's family tree suggestions that their last name was originally Rossidavito. Not sure! I'm also certain that Scottish people would not have named their son Anthony Vincent Ross. His dad's name was also Anthony Vincent. He has a sister named Evelyn Ross but her married name is Antras! I am at at a stand still. I really want to confirm my lineage! Italian would make so much sense to me. I have dark black hair, dark eyes, so dark brown that they look black. I have olive colored skin tone, as did my dad.

Same boat here! My mother is the product of an affair and his last name is Ross. Also an Italian whose parents came from from PA. Interesting! Have you done DNA? Would be interested to see if we match up.

Hi again! I have done my DNA through Ancestry.com. What is your tree name, maybe I can look it up in my cousin results to see if we are somehow related?
