The other children match also. I have previously looked for "BROWN", as suggested by my Aunt, but only Jacob. Also, neither the 1870 or the 1900 census have a Simon Brown or Braun. I took a shot and looked in the 1880 through LDS website adn THERE THEY WERE! :You may find him on another census with Jacob as the surname. I found on a Census my John Henry Bretz listed as John Henry. I couldn't find him anywhere and was looking at other Bretz's that I knew were relatives and stumbled on him and the rest of his family. I also found my Thomas Maconachy listed as Conachy. Now I keep a wide open mind when looking for all relatives. Lynn
