Steven, I would like to discuss and share my data with you on the WVV/VA families. However, I am currently finishing up my 2d book on the Browning families and will not have time to get into it all for a few weeks. Please email me direct around mid March, if you care to compare and share data. There is a lot of data out there that is not verifiable and some just down right wrong and misleading. If you do not have a copy of Stanley Browning's book, I suggest you get it. He has done a good job on the SW WV families. His email is _garnet@utah-inter.net_ (mailto:garnet@utah-inter.net) I published a book in 2003 on the :southern" Browning families. A second vol. is going to the publisher soon. These are not just on the WV families, put there is a lot of data on them in both volumes. Basically I started do an update to an old "bible" on the Brownings, E F Browning's book of 1908. It grew to 750 pages for vol. 1, and vol. 2 will be about the same. Regards, Jim Richey _TeRealtor@aol.com_ (mailto:TeRealtor@aol.com)
