Abstract
Like so many of the great minds in finance before him, Stephen Alan Ross’ ancestors were from Eastern Europe. His grandfather, Benjamin Ross, was born in Courland, Russia in March 1880 and made his way to the USA as a very young man of 17 in 1897. Soon after he arrived, he met his future bride, Katherine Cohen, who, while also born in Russia, had come over with her parents and older sister Elizabeth in 1885 when she was only two years old.
