I lost track of all my cousins after my parents died 12 and 16 years ago, trying to find my cousins was what got me started doing research into my ancestors 4 1/2 years ago. One Browning cousin was already tracing the family tree and sent me copies of Joel Hagers Browning family tree work, he's been doing this for over 20 years. At the time Joel only had my grand dad Ozas approximate birth date, same for his dad and same or his dad. After finding the cemetery online and then visiting it myself three years ago (after finding all my Carroll cousins and making a trip up to WV for a reunion and making an overnight trip from Huntington to Man) and taking pictures of the graves of my Brownings I forwarded the info on to Joel along with all the death certificates I found for all of the Brownings too. I now! have birth and death dates of all my deceased aunts and uncles which I got for Jim Richie to put in his soon to be released second book of the Brownings of SW WV and surrounding areas, info I'll pass on to Joel too to add to his database. If you have kin buried in the Christian cemetery you must be a close cousin somehow, thru Ballard Preston and Mary Browning or Henderson and Elizabeth Canterbury Browning ???
