Carol; I have been searching for about 40 years and DNA has not helped me either; what even makes it very hard for me also is I get no reply from anyone because (I Guess) my grandfather was born out of wedlock and by the age 9 wound up in the Bryant home some time before 1880 census; and he took the name Bryant before 25 Aug 1895 when he married my grandmother. Brown is our sir name and so far we only match the Rock Clan (1 Australia) (1 Canada) So we were maybe Rock Clan changed to Brown when they came to the USA or the Rock name was taken as a sir name when everyone started taking a sir name; but our DNA does match them; from what I understand that match could go back 500 to 1000 years; so I have not pursued that match but once; they did not think there was a connection so why do a DNA? I have tracked my Brown's and through census I think there is only one direct line we could belong to the other males did not have sons or had no children at all, his name is Nathan A J Brown b 28 Sep 1861 Washington Township, Delaware County Indiana d 6 July 1903 married Mary A Janney 5 Feb 1882 Washington Twp; IN. they had 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls Walter S Brown b 1888 Omer Vandorn Brown b 10 Sep 1889 both born Washington Twp. In the two girls were Idona M b 1896 and Zilla C Brown b 1898. Walter had 3 sons m Jesse May Taylor Floyde Willard b abt 1908 Hubert N b abt 1909 Wallace b abt 1918 Omer V Brown I have tracked but not entered the info In my tree yet. still in my notes to follow the males.

This list is for any Brown. I am suggesting we hear from Ireland Scotland and English as mainly I see Georgia, NC, SC and Virginia. So it would be nice to see anyone who thinks they are or knows they are from these countries. If not that sure would be nice to hear a LOT MORE from the New England States, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

For everyone who has an idea that their ancestors came from the above countries why not post your last known ancestor with their brothers and sisters if you know them. If possible a picture of that ancestor. I am out of country and this email will not allow attachments while out of country but I do have another email if anyone thinks they may be related.  Although it may be your direct line it would help others to connect the dots. > > I also belong to the Brown DNA and have from almost the start. 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. So my brothers DNA could be altered.  I have talked to a scientist specializing in Agent Orange in Australia (because of Vietnam) and the head of the DNA project so this possibility. > > My last know male Brown was John Ebenezer Brown born  November 17 1822 (some census say 1823) in NY and died May 13 1902 Ingham County USA. He also lived in Toledeo and Richfield Ohio before moving to Michigan. First wife Abigail born abt 1827 NY.  Chidren  Aaron Carles, John Cyrrus and George H Brown.  My greatgrandfather Aaron Charles Brown told my grandfather that we were from Dublin Ireland but I have not found any proof.  I believe we may be Scottish possibly via  Ireland.  Ebenezer is more Scottish than Irish at least that is what I have found and I do know it is a English name as well. > > Carol Brown Parker > > > >       > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BROWN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BROWN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BROWN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.
