I was born September, 11, 1985, in Chicago, Illinois, son of Patrick Joseph Ross and Mary Elizabeth Ross (nee Harris). My family resided in Chicago until 1996 when we relocated to Scottsdale, Arizona. After graduating from Brophy College Preparatory in 2004, I attended college at Santa Clara University and graduated in 2008. After graduation, I lived a number of years in Santa Francisco but eventually relocated to Austin, Texas, in September of 2014. I married Emily Laura Timm in Paradise Valley, Arizona, on October 18, 2014 and on February 3, 2017, our first daughter Lyla Elizabeth Ross was born at Saint David’s North Hospital in Austin, Texas. Immediately after Lyla’s birth, I took up an interest in genealogy. The goal of my research and this webpage is to share interesting stories and facts I learn while researching our family’s history.
