Hello "List", My name is Carolyn Menges. I grew up in Seattle and moved to the SF Bay area 13 yrs ago to get away from the winter weather up there. I met and married Mr. Wonderful about 10 yrs ago, so I guess I'll stay here for awhile. We sent my stepson off to college this year so now it's just the 3 of us, hubby, myself, and the dog. I've been researching my grandmother's side of the family since the late 1970's (can't remember which year she sparked my interest) and thank God for the Internet! It's astounding how much information and the number of cousins that I've found since I got online. I hope you all have had many successes with your lines. I do have a webpage that you might find some connections to your Brownings. The book contains an index so it's relatively easy to find the names. <A HREF="http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/e/n/Carolyn-Menges/index.html">Go odwin, Menges & Allied Families</A> or http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/e/n/Carolyn-Menges/index.html Anyway, back to my brick walls..... I am researching the WOMEN of the family. Who did they marry; who were their descendants. I seem to have many that just fell through the cracks. Of course, if you can link your line to anyone in my file, I would be more than happy to share information with you. Here is one branch of the Brownings. I'll post more later.
