I'm looking for African-Amer. Browning family members. My grandfather was named Frank and he died in 1939 in McDowell County,WV. His wife was named Margaret.If you can help me and if you knowany African-Amer Browning ,please contact me at carol15235@aol.com thank you

The first research tactic I'd take is to get Frank's WV death certificate. Hopefully it will name his parents. I'd also look for a mention of his death in the local newspaper there. I do see a Francis Browning in McDowell Co. in the 1930 census. But he is not married and he is listed as being white.
