Hi Lauren I believe I found your name on a bulliten board in Scotland. (last month) The tie between Brownlie-Forrest-Russell in Bonkle,Cambusnethan,Lanarkshire and Carluke I find interesting. I'm sure were tied back there somewhere. Not on direct line but through siblings which i'm not complete on. I'm cc'ing the Brownlee Group and they may have a tie somewhere. If I find anything else, I'll let you Know. Happy New Year Frank -----Original Message----- From: Lauren Snellgrove <[email protected]> To: Frank B.
