Hi All, I am looking for some more information on these two, married in Westminster, St Marys, LeStrand (presumably England) on 11 April, 1814, who had at least five children, one of whom was my gg grandfather. The childrens names that I have are Matilda, Robert, Henry, Frederick and John. Any possible leads would be appreciated. Regards, John Dr John de Lisle Hammond Maitland NSW AUSTRALIA

My husband's grandfather said that he received a mailing about a Browning family reunion somewhere in Pennsylvania. He threw the paper away so I couldn't get the details. Supposedly this reunion was for anyone with a Browning connection. Does this sound familier to anyone? If so, please post the information. Thanks! Lori Browning

As one who has been ripped off in genealogy research where information can be very expensive to begin with, I have to agree with the Gabbards. Be very careful with whom you deal; I was taken by one of the oldest and most respected names in the field because I did not know it had recently been bought out by an American rip-off company.

It is good that you gave links to try to infom others, i just hope the links aren't biased, or one-sided. Not trying to make trouble here.. as i said, i do appreciate your intent, but am just asking that listers use caution before starting an all-out war against a company the BBB states is 'satisfactory'. But this is America... you be the judge.

Dear Listers, >From another list I'm on.....Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Wilma Johnson To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2000 10:21 AM Subject: [KYLAUREL-L] Genealogy Rip-Off Subject: Rip-offs of the genealogy community continues... Good Morning, friends and cousins in the genealogy community! The response to the identification of the genealogy rip-off operation in Denver last week has been tremendous with a steady stream of requests for add'l info. The operation in Denver with a newly discovered "branch" in Utah is an incarnation of the identical scheme that Halbert's used. The same form letters, books and newsletters are being sold, and the same fake "Crests" and other products are being created "to exacting standards". The new incarnation has not yet been linked financially to Halbert´s or NUMA (Halbert parent), but the resemblance is so close, they could be joined at the hip, operating under dba's Mountain West News Service, Mountain Pacific News Service, and MORPHCORP. The Better Business Bureau reports that the company has joined the BBB in January 2000, opened in 1985, and is rated as satisfactory. A complete history of Halbert's, courtesy of Jeff Scism (despite our surname homonyms, we ain't kin --- he hopes!) is available at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~blksheep/shame/halberts.htm Volunteers interested in assisting in informing the genealogy community of this scam have come out of the woodwork. We would ask the recipients of this email the following: 1) A sample of the Colorado flyer is at http://www.dfc.cc/CyberCousins/genfraud.jpg Print it and post in the genealogy section at your library with appropriate message and make announcements at your gensoc. 2) After you have read it, as a researcher you realize the fraud that it is. Go to the Federal Trade Commissions website at https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.htm and file a complaint ONLINE. For a sample complaint and further detailed information to use, please go to http://www.dfc.cc/CyberCousins/complaint.txt 3) Forward this to every list you are on. 4) If you are a member of NGS ([email protected]) or FGS ([email protected]), contact those organizations and ask that they get members motivated. Gentech, Inc. ([email protected]) has a director and a well-known regular conference speaker in the Denver metro. I asked them to do some local research. No response to date. 5) Contact every genealogy columnist whose work you read, both local and online such as Myra Gormley ([email protected]} or Dick Eastman ([email protected]) who was stalwart in early work on Halbert's, both of whom, as well as others, are on this list. No response to date. 6} If you have rec'd a flyer yourself, please report the names and addresses to me. We need to know all the DBAs they are using. Then take it to the local post office and file a complaint. 7) If you are in the Denver area, we need search of the court house records to determine any corporate connections. If we can make a corporate connection, I am fairly sure the restraints placed on Halbert's can be extended by the proper authorities. 8) If you are a supplier (software, services, researcher) to the genealogy community, this type of scam effects you even more. Contribute to the effort. 9)This is no small time scam. Halbert's is owned by a company named NUMA whih in turn is owned by CENDANT. Go to http://itjobs.cendant.com/cendant_co.html to find other Cendant companies. You will NOT be happy with how you have been doing business with folks like this --- I promise you. These scams are more likely to rip off folks less involved in genealogy than most recipients of this msg. Most of us will recognize it for what it is and trash it. That does not relieve us of the responsibility of making it more difficult for these and other parasites within our community to enjoy their ill-gotten gains. I have found far too many that "don't want to get involved", "Didn't happen on my watch." (to use an old Navy excuse), running from controversy and responsibility. Let us unite in eradicating those that are behind an obvious attempt to profit unethically from the popularity of genealogy. ==== KYLAUREL Mailing List ==== To subscribe or unsubscribe to this list send an email to: [email protected] In the MESSAGE type the one word ....

Hi Jo, Glad that Edmund Browning's will was something that helped. Edmund would have had to have been married more than once to have the children listed in his will as he didn't marry Mary Ann until 9 September 1800. I suspect that Mary Ann was a widow and that her maiden name was probably not Murphy. I doubt that there were any children from this marriage. I have the same children for Edmund as you with the addition of a Delila Browning who married James Boren. They were the parents of the Nancy Boren mentioned as a granddaughter in Edmund's will. Delila died sometime after 1793, but before Edmund wrote his will. Susannah Teague, the mother of this James Boren was married a second time to John Browning, the brother of Edmund Browning, and they removed to Greene Co., GA. Most of my information on Delila comes from another researcher. About the only information that I have on your Gilbert Browning is from the 1850 census of Franklin Co., IL. He appears to be listed with eight children: Elijah, b.1831; Alvis ?, b. 1834; Mary, b. 1840; Sal or Sol, b. 1837 (this must be your Samuel); John, b. 1839; Rebecca, b. 1841; M. (female), b. 1844; and Talitha, b. 1847. All the children were born in Illinois, Gilbert was born in North Carolina and his wife (listed only as E.) was born in Tennessee. There are many Brownings listed in Franklin Co., IL. in 1850. Have you been able to identify them ? I've got the information, but haven't tried to figure it all out yet. Steve Loose

The problem is I have a few questions. >> >> Who is Thomas's parents or siblings? I am VERY interested in Thomas. Where do I find this document? Thanks, SHotgun

Dear Listers, The Browning Digest #10 contained a website to find out more about Thomas Browning. Despite the best intentions, I accidentally deleted it. Can anyone please help me find the site again? Jo and Kit seem to have misplaced it as well, and I had difficulty accessing the archived materials.
