My first post to this list. I am in search of information about my ancestors from the Birimingham area. My Great GrandFather William Thomas Brown was born in the Birmingham area in 1868. His father was William Hiram Brown and his mother was Mattie Elizabeth. Besides William Thomas their were two other children that I know of Rebecca Brown and Sallie Brown. The family moved when William Thomas was young to Bloomfield, Mo. That is the only information that I have. I do know that a book was published about the family. But the location of the book is unknown. The book was sent to my Great Uncle who showed the book to the family during the time of my sisters death. After his death no one could find the book. My uncle did not tell anyone who had sent him the book, nor where or when he send it back. All clues and information is apprecieated. Always searching Dennis Allen
