Research Notes

Many thanks to Cynthia for her motivational “just do it already” or something like that. This page should have been added to long ago. I didn’t see the hesitation except for the fact that no one was touching it, including myself. There’s more to add and there are a lot of Ross’s out there. Go on then. Add something. This family gets even more interesting.
