RAMBO posted by Keith Williams on Saturday, January 1, 2000

I am interested in gathering information on the RAMBO family of Grant parish. My mother is the daughter of eva Rambo who is the daughter of Joe Rambo. She had four sisters: Mattie Mae Rambo, Vera Rambo, Ara Rambo (who was killed in a car accident in the early l930's?)and Kakie Rambo. Willard Rambo who was a representative from that area was a first cousin. I understand that he flew the "Hump" during W.W.II and would be interested in hearing a little more of his background during the war. His wife who isMary Alice still resides in Alexandria, I believe.
