/\___/\ | o o | >(( v ))< \ _^_ / G'day all cousins and researchers and greetings from the (ahem!) Mother Country..... I feel a bit strange, being one of very few non-Americans writing to the list, but what an active and helpful list!!!!!!!!!!!!........and what a glorious roll call......... I have no knowledge or interests in New World BROWNs, but I may be able to help anyone who has ancestors from Northamptonshire. I'm currently undertaking a mapping exercise for all Northants BROWNs, using all sources available and with support from other UK researchers. I have a large and growing database of information, and hope eventually to be able to offer a complete look-up service for any BROWN in the county. If anyone needs assistance with Northants ancestors, I will help if I can. I would like from the list any details you may have of ancestors in the county, or emigration details, which will help me to close off people from the local record. Best wishes to you all.............now back to the Olympics! Pete Brown Groby Leicestershire Interests: BROWN - Northants FARR - Glos YARRANTON/YARRINGTON - all UK (\( )/) '(o o)' ) ( (o o) ~
