This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Brown, Hardwick Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hkB.2ACI/772.774.773.775.778.816.1 Message Board Post: It has been so long since I've looked at that branch of my family I can't remember what I have that might be your line. I got so bummed out on trying to trace the Brown family that I gave up. We did get a descendant of our Browns to do the DNA test as part of the Brown surname DNA Project with FTDNA so he is documented. Hopefully, one of these days, we will have a match that will get something going again on tracing our William Henry Brown of Mercer Co., KY earlier. Without that, we are at a total standstill. Gail
