Forwarding to NE Brooks list, Trudy for information on ancestors of Gillman Drew Brooks. You'll probably have to sign on for a Kansas or Midwestern Brooks list (if there is one) for KS information. Don't know for sure, though. There could be someone else on this list who's a KS "cousin". Good luck.

There could be someone else on this list who's a > KS "cousin". Good luck. Kathy (CT) There's no other regional Brooks list that I've seen. If there was, I question how useful it could be. This list, and the Tributaries website I've put together to support it, operate on the proposition that genealogical research is most useful when pointed *backwards* towards the origin of the line. Each succeeding generation roughly doubles the Brooks population. There might be 5,000 living people in Kansas today with the surname Brooks, to pull a number from the sky, or maybe it's closer to 50,000. So the chances of a match on a contemporary name with any of our subscribers are so small as to be meaningless. OTOH, going back in time constantly diminishes the Brooks population and the candidate pool to the point where there's actually a realistic chance of identifying a specific Brooks ancestor. In my previous response I believe I asked Trudy what if any census years she had consulted, and whether she's looked at the SSDI. (If I didn't, I certainly should have.) Her response doesn't address these questions. If it were *my* search, the census and SSDI are where I'd start, and then work my way backwards.
