Thanks for this info. I have been confused by the Roy Brown entry I have in my Brown file. I have wondered in the past if their might be two different Roy Brown's and this confirmed that. So does anyone know if Roy Howard Brown's father, Walter Brown connect to the Steven Brown Elizabeth Spoon family.
