Haven't posted my Browns for awhile and I've had a few updates on my line since I posted last, so here goes: I am trying to find info on this line of Browns who are of American Indian descent. I believe they lived mainly in the Chicago area as my g.grandma, Minnie & her sister, Ethel were born in Chicago. I haven't been able to get their birth certs because I need their mothers' name. If anyone can connect, please e-mail me off the list. I was told that Hiram had siblings, but I can't seem to find any info on him. I have a feeling that he was not always from IL. **BROWN INFO: - Minnie "Alma" Brown m. William Voss Bishop at the age of 15, in 1898. They had 9 children which eventually they had given up - the "baby" was given to a relative, my grandpa raised the next 3 youngest, and the rest went out on their own.
