This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: beejaymay Surnames: Fisher, Brown Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.fisher/7945/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer. I'm trying to track down a George Fisher who served with the US Military in WWII. He was, according to family lore, killed early in the Invasion of Normandy. This would put his death in June of 1944. He was survived by his wife, one Ernestine Brown (first name uncertain), and they had no children together. That's the part that makes him hard to track. My family lore is that this George Fisher and my great-grandmother conceived a child out of wedlock. He never married her, instead marrying Ernestine Brown, but died in war before fathering any children with her. As such, I have an alleged biological ancestor about whom there is no marriage record to my great-grandmother, and about whom there is no birth record regarding my grandmother. Because he fathered no children with his wife, it is unlikely that any others on this board are researching him directly, but I'm hoping that he may show up as a sibling of someone in one of your trees. If anyone has any information on a George Fisher from Marcus Hook, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, I'd be very interested to see it. It is not outside the realm of possibility that this Ernestine Brown remarried and had a family, so it's possible there are people researching her as well.

Have you considered DNA testing -if you have an unbroken male line-you might get some answers. There is a Fisher DNA Project.
