Jerri, I have just started on the Brooks Branch. Actually the only thing I have is that my Dad's sister Doris Cecelia Schrader married Lee Roy Brooks on Aug 4 1946. I am researching the "Brooks Branch" for my cousins. All I know is that Lee Roy was born to Howard and Anna "Waldron" Brooks Aug 5 1922 in Logan, Ohio. And I would love to surprise them with additional information. All the information I have is this so far to go on. If you could supply more I would be very greatful. ************************************************************************ Lee Roy Brooks, 75, Reynoldsburg, died Saturday, June 27 at Mount Carmel Medical Center, Columbus.

I am out of town right now and don't have all the dates with me, but Howard is the son of David and Martha(Mattie)Quick Brooks. He would have been born in the late 1800's and I'm not sure what his son's name is. Howard had a sister Goldie and a sister named Laura I believe. At one time I believe Howard lived in Colorado and New Mexico. Howard also had a daughter living in Ross County, OH. in 1949. Does any of this fit in with some of your info? > > Jerri >
