Surnames: BROWN,WELCHEL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xYB.2ACE/1625 Message Board Post: Looking for information on the BROWN and WELCHEL families. They resided in the area of Burneyville and Jimtown, OK and Seville's Bend, TX. WELCHEL family was THOMAS JEFFERSON WELCHEL, NIECIE REBECCA MULLINS WELCHEL and JAMES RUEBEN WELCHEL. There were other children of Thomas Jefferson and his wife but James aka Jim was my grandfather. The BROWN family was JOHN, possibly known as J.W., his wife CATHERINE and my grandmother NANCY JANE BROWN aka Cricket. Cricket is the name on her marriage license issued in Gainesville. I am searching for information on my family as a promise made to my mother before she died that I would continue to search. She never had a chance to know her birth mother. She died when my mother and her brother were very small although my uncle did vaguely remember her. The only contact they had with her mother's family was one brother and one sister. There names were WILLIAM BROWN and MAMIE BROWN. Any information or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
