AFTER submitting my LAFF for the onset of 1999 - the poem submitted by Carma M. Brown about Heredity: A Gen Poem by Grandpa Tucker, I decided to blindly subscribe to BROWN-D-request@rootsweb.com and I became subscribed. Then, I submitted the info below: ( Got two responses. 1. from Nancy Brown aka "Nanc" of Tacoma & 2. Jeanne Roland of Des Moines, IA ). Jeanne & I are related via #s 1,2, and 3 in the query below. So, we will share our gen. thanks, again, to the Rootsweb System which has hit pay dirt often for me. RIGHT NOW, I WISH TO WELCOME ABOARD PSR: NANCY BROWN OF TACOMA (a potential cousin that we need to prove as yet). She says she will just observe a bit & then jump in here. PSR is as Friendly a group that you would ever want to meet, Nanc. Friendly, Helpful, and Death on Spam - LOL ! (Tolerant on B.S., I know!) Nanc, you are going to like THIS ONE, so jump in here and tell us about all those relatives you have up & down Puget Sound.

Perhaps this might inspire some of the rest of you Browns out there for more ties. Jeanne has in addition to her Brown Line, Smith of IN., ILL., IA., Frazier; Hope. I found her Brown(e) Line back in the days of New Haven Colony (CT) with mine along with a VINCINT Line that I haven't been able to crack so far, and there is no Rootsweb surname site for VINCINT so far. I am interested in the TYLER surname, also, from the 1600s - William Tyler, d. 1693. This is a great Start for 1999. Jump in, Nanc, the water is WARM !
