Hi Jacqueline: It's great that you found your de Normandie connection. I don't know if Elizabeth Strickland would be the wife of your James or not, but what I did was to do a search on "Normandie" in the PA GenWeb Archives online (the archives easily found through a google search). There wasn't much that came up for that name, but this will abstract did. I have seen the name Strickland before near my ancestors on the census and had not seen any connection, but this particular connection may help me figure that out. My Brown ancestors were very connected to the Yardleys, and the Yardley name comes through out line even though I do not see a direct Yardley ancestor (Susan married to Thomas Yardley is as close as I can see so far). For research I would suggest using the PA Genweb Archives. You can search by county, which makes it easier. The most useful sections are the will abstracts for those counties which have them. When you get to the Brown ancestry, I would be happy to help you out. Our family has a lot of information . Feel free to email me.
