Hello Fellow Brown Researchers! I'm pleased to report that the Brown/Browne/Braun DNA Study has just passed another noteworthy milestone, with 550 sets of members' DNA results now posted! The Brown Study is a non-profit, volunteer activity whose main goals are (1) to lend technical support for amateur genealogists who want to use DNA analysis for research on various Brown families and (2) to encourage more and more genealogical DNA tests by men carrying the Brown surname or a variant (Browne, Braun, Browning, etc.). As you may be aware, females don't carry the type of DNA that may be used for surname tracing. But many women are very active in the Brown DNA Study as sponsors of tests by their Brown-surnamed male relatives. There are no costs and no other obligations for membership in the Brown project, except that if you do take a genealogical DNA test, we ask permission to list your DNA numbers at our website. The project has recently had a true growth spurt -- meaning among other things that we can now identify some 107 "relationship groups." These groups are comprised of members whose matches seem potentially useful for genealogical research. They're listed here: http://brownsociety.org/browndna/groupresults.html In the meantime, a total of 176 members are still waiting for their first matches and are listed here: http://www.brownsociety.org/browndna/unique.html These numbers, 107 plus 176, mean the Brown DNA Study has now identified 283 biologically distinct family lines for the Brown surname or a variant (Browne, Browning, etc.). I don't know about you, but I'm surprised and intrigued by this level of diversity for our surname. Who wudda thunk? When it comes specifically to genealogical data, the "earliest know Brown ancestors" of our members are presented here: http://brownsociety.org/browndna/earliestancestorsgeographic.html (If you do decide to join the project, it's not mandatory that you submit such information. But we certainly hope you'll do so!) In other project news, there's a new feature at our website whereby we now give DNA results for several non-member "Anonymous Browns." These non-members are men who have already tested with our contractor, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) and have matches with one or more of our members. We currently show results for 13 such non-members, and the number will grow as FTDNA's computers uncover more matches. Of course, we certainly hope to recruit these men sooner or later as regular project members! The addition of these non-members to our Group Results page means we now have a grand total of 563 sets of results posted to our website. Among this total, 387 test participants are in our 107 relationship groups -- giving us a current match rate of about 68%. Another project-related statistic is that 22 members listed at our website have been tested by firms other than FTDNA. We're more than happy to have these chaps with us! So if you or one of your relatives has already been tested by Ancestry.com, Relative Genetics or another outfit, please be assured that our project welcomes such participants, even though their DNA numbers aren't fully compatible with results for the overwhelming majority of Browns who have been tested. If you'd like more information about the Brown project or about DNA genealogy in general, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'm here to help!

I see though that most respondents were mainly of German (Alsace) or English descent and NOT Scottish. Where have all the American Scots by the name of Brown gone? Ken: in response to your question, this BROWN's scot line has pretty much daughtered out. While I can trace back to records in Scotland I've hit a brick wall with a possible missed generation in my line, or a second marriage. Such a shame that death records before 1855 age so elusive, now even harder for me as loss of employment means my hoped for travel plans are tossed to a back burner that has no flame under it, so I just keep plugging along occasionally buying credits for the GRO and hopefully will fill the missing voids.

My earliest Brown ancestor was JAMES BROWN -1750-1805 . I have him bn in Holland? He and his wife SARAH KESTER, lived in Wilkes, North Carolina. My line: ELI -1812-1869 - Hendricks County, Indiana; HARRISON BROWN - 1837-1897, wife -LOUISA T. BAILEY - Hendricks County, Indiana, Rich Hill, Bates County, Missouri; LAURA BROWN - 1862-1948, husband WILLIAM J HUNTER - Rich Hill, Bates County, Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri; FRED HUNTER , 1st wife ORA SHIRLEY, Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri; HAROLD DALEN HUNTER, 1st wife - VELMA UTTLEY - Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri; They were my natural parents. I had a brother DONALD LISLE HUNTER and half sister from Harold's second marriage. Our mother died when Don and I were 6 and 3 yrs old. I was raised by my uncle and aunt, Clifford and Clara Uttley. I do not have any living male cousins, so I can't have DNA done. I am hoping that someone can connect with JAMES. Most of my information came from a generous researcher Joyce Brown. Thank you all for any assistance you may be able to give me.

My brother provided the DNA..have some close ones but no perfect match. In our case it could be because my family and thousands of others who were stationed in CFB Gagetown (Oromocto, N.B.) were sprayed with Agent Orange and many other defoliating chemicals from1956 to 1984.

Alice, Do you have a brother or cousin by the same last name to have a DNA test done? My gg- grandfather, Samuel Right/Wright Brown, mentioned in one of his books relatives who left Stillwater, NY in the late 1790s had moved to Overton county, TN. I suspect it was a brother or uncle. They were never mentioned by name. My cousin had his DNA testing done...a 37 marker and so far we have had only one other person who is connected but we can't find a common ancestor. I would highly recommend you have someone in your male line have the testing done. Sonja In a message dated 4/21/2009 2:57:05 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, aebrown@uark.edu writes: The gentleman in the attached picture is my gg grandfather Elijah W. Brown. He was born in either Jackson or Overton County Tennessee in the early 1830's. I have had clues that his father may have been Nathaniel Brown, but I can't prove it. I have all kinds of information about him from the Civil War on. He served in the Confederate Army, Shaw's Battalion (cavalry) and may have been a pow at Camp Douglas near Chicago. After the war, he moved his family to Van Buren County Arkansas. He homesteaded in Union Township. His older daughters married men who seemed to have connections to Overton County--Gibbons, Caldwell. One of my great aunts spoke of the family coming across the water. She might have meant Ireland or possibly Wales. My gg grandmother Elvira Welch(?) allegedly came to America illegally from Wales in the 1840's. Hoping the break down this brick wall.

This is a real long shot, but like you we've been knocking on a Brown brickwall for decades! My great grand uncle, Richard Gibson Brown (RG), son of my elusive Richard Gibson Brown lived at Fort Kearney and died 1922 according to Wayne Herald, Wayne, NE, 15 Mar 1922, p. 7. He is buried in the family plot in Harrison Co., IA. There has been some mention over the years of an Uncle William. Various census records indicate that his father, Richard Gibson Brown was born in VT, NY or OH. Might be kin?! Let's share some more!

Carolyn, If you ever run upon a William Brown that at some point lived in the Culpeper Co, VA area, and was born prior to 1769, please let either Gerald L. Brown or me know about the discovery!!! There were so many William Brown's. Think I told you that I am in BrownDNASociety group #55 as Samuel James Brown, Jr. Gerald is also in the same group and we know our crossings, but each are having problems with finding out more about a William ? Brown supposedly born either in Culpeper Co, or Brunswick Co, VA.......... -- May God Bless you and yours! -------------- Original message from Carolyn Brown <cpink@flash.net>: -------------- My husband's Brown is his grandfather William Ethridge Brown (Also known as W E Brown) b May 25 or either 1859 or 1861 depending on which Pickens Co, AL census you use. William Ethridge Brown was born in TN to parents who were born in NC. > William died in Harris Co, TX in 1919. > Allen has 3 67/67 DNA matches that have not been able to connect, either to him nor to each other. One gentleman goes back to Bladen Co, NC about 1762 Edmund Brown, son of Thomas Brown. Allen has a 25/25 match with another gentleman in Johnston Co, NC whose ancestors have been there since the late 1700's, but again > we are unable to make the connection. > Any help would be appreciated.

County Virginia c. 1820's ??? I need to identify the "Captain Henry Brown" implied in this record, if anyone has a clue. The entry is in Sussex County Deeds, Book P, page 248, March 4 1828, the abstract reading: "Martha Brown, widow of Capt. Henry Brown, Joseph Brown, Nicholas Jarrett [also spelled Jarrat, and other variants] Mary Brown Jarrett [wife of Nicholas], Barham and Martha Wrenn to Jonathan Bailey. No witnesses."

The gentleman in the attached picture is my gg grandfather Elijah W. Brown. He was born in either Jackson or Overton County Tennessee in the early 1830's. I have had clues that his father may have been Nathaniel Brown, but I can't prove it. I have all kinds of information about him from the Civil War on. He served in the Confederate Army, Shaw's Battalion (cavalry) and may have been a pow at Camp Douglas near Chicago. After the war, he moved his family to Van Buren County Arkansas. He homesteaded in Union Township. His older daughters married men who seemed to have connections to Overton County--Gibbons, Caldwell. One of my great aunts spoke of the family coming across the water. She might have meant Ireland or possibly Wales. My gg grandmother Elvira Welch(?) allegedly came to America illegally from Wales in the 1840's. Hoping the break down this brick wall. Alice Brown

My brother provided the DNA..have some close  ones but no perfect match.

Oh, those "William Browns"!!!! My William is" William C. Brown", b. 1792 in Rhode Island. In the 1830's he was in Cazenovia, Madison Co. New York, He was in Butler, Wayne, Co., NY in 1840, The 1860 census has him in Chelsea, Sharon, Michigan, living with his daughter, Mary Brown Stewart. I thought perhaps Peleg was his father, but am now wondering if Stukeley (son of Ebenezer) might be his father. ----- Appreciate any and all help.
