He was my great grandaddy too. My grandpa was Paul Alexander Finnell. Paul's mom was Carrie Byrd. Who was your grandad/grandma? I'm looking for any children/ grandchildren of Russ and Elizabeth Finnell. I knew aunt Emma Brussell. I think she may have had a daughter, Eileen. My grampa never talked about being in WWI, which makes me curious about what he experienced and where he was at what time.
