Have you done the later census work for your BROWNS? The birth place should be listed of each child in the household as you're aware I'm sure. Have you found copies of their death records and obits? Often times clues are found there as well as in marriage license applications. >From your message, I thought maybe these might be something you'd want to work on to possibly find more clues to your Ohio research. Were any of them in the military service? Pension and military records often contain a wealth of information.. .....just a few thoughts. Happy Hunting! Carol
