Hi Doug, have you submitted your own DNA to the BROWN DNA study? I am very interested in your New Brunswick connections. My BROWN people came also from England, to Maine & Vermont, and then during the Am.Rev.War, remaining loyal to George III, went to New Brunswick & Nova Scotia. My brick wall in Henry A. Brown, born 1829, came to Ontario by 1850. Are you still in New Brunswick? My brother Blake Donald Brown gave his DNA for the study. If you go to www.ysearch.org and look for User ID #AA3TZ, you will see his results.
