HI: I'm researching the BROWN family in East Baton Rouge. My relatives are all over the area. My grandfather, now 91, has told me about a lynching in his family. I'd like to document whether this happened. It may have happened before the turn of the century, in Louisiana. He has no other details, except that it happened. Has anyone on this list researched such an event? A few people on other genealogy lists have told me they checked newspapers from the period to document similar events in their families. I have checked "lynching" in the google.com search engine and found a list of those killed by lynching, but didn't recognize any names. Am trying to figure out how to procede from here in researching this. All info appreciated. Thanks. K. Berry
