Dear Brun/Brown/Braun Researchers & Descendants: The Brown & Allied Surnames DNA Study has now distributed 51 test kits, of which 44 have so far been returned for analysis. Participants who've joined in the last few weeks include: Robert F. Brown of Citronelle AL, James Joseph Brown of Salina KS, Major James Brown (ret.) of Lynn MA, William Brown of Sacramento CA (recruited by his wife, Edie), Roger Brown of Bakersfield CA (recruited by his cousin, Sonja Vance-Abate), and Alexander Brown of Canisteo NY (recruited by his grandson, Perry Streeter). Let me note in particular that Major Brown, a descendant of the Scottish Browns, operates a very fine website for the Clan Brown/Broun organization. You may visit at: http://www.clanbrown.com/index.html If you know or think your Browns (or Brouns or Bruns) came originally from Scotland, you'll surely want to see this interesting site. Also deserving special mention is that Alexander Brown, at 99 years of age, becomes the oldest Brown cousin to have joined our project. Moreover his grandson, Perry Streeter, is himself Administrator of the Streeter-Surname DNA project. If you are not familiar with the Brown & Allied Surnames DNA Project, you are cordially invited to visit us at: http://www.questgenealogy.com/dna-brown.htm Our goal is to make our project the largest of all the many DNA surname studies. If you can help recruit members, or if you just want more info, please contact me via private Email at: DNAforBrowns@aol.com Best regards, Jim Brown (James Armistead Brown, Jr.) Project Co-Administrator Brown and Allied Surnames DNA Study
