HEllo Nikkie, I have been on this Edmondson mailing list a long time and not seen anything that connected to my family and did not have any Edmondsons in my family who lived in Brown Co but the other side of my Grandmother's family lived in Brown Co. Ohio. Do you recognize the names of LOVE, MORFORD or AKLES. They all come from Brown Co. Ohio.
