Why not? Count me in. Sorry that I'm a little slow in responding, but I'm just back from a few weeks' business trip to Australia and hooking up to the Internet down under is a painful procedure (largely due to our internal corporate process, I think), so I couldn't connect to anything beyond our internal e-mail. Actually the Brinson name does not come from a blood relative of mine, but was the surname of the family (neighbor, etc.) who raised my grgrmother Tarver after she was orphaned at a young age in GA. The husband's name was William Brinson, so when she married Caleb Garvin Weeks, she named her first son William Brinson Weeks. My father was Warren Brinson Weeks, I'm a junior, and my son is William Brinson, so the name has stuck around for a while. Still most people have trouble with it! Good luck.

Why not? My apologies if this isn't of interest. I promise I won't bother you again. (Except for those of you to whom I owe e-mail: I promise I will bother you again, but it may be a bit, life has been one mad rollercoaster for the past several months.) I think (from my notes) that you may have an interest in the BRINSON (BRIMSON, BRUNSON, etc) surname. If so, you might want to subscribe to the new BRINSON-L genealogical mailing list. To subscribe, either just drop me a note and ask me to add you, or write to BRINSON-L-request@rootsweb.com and put the command "subscribe" (without the quotation marks) in the body of the message. If you know of anyone else who might be interested, feel free to pass this note along to them... Karen karen@rootsweb.com karen@rand.org P.S. I descend from Zebulon Brinson of Indiana. But anyone with an interest in the surname, in England, in the American South, wherever, is welcome! ==== BRINSON Mailing List ==== Invite your online BRINSON cousins to use the handy subscription form at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5248/
