Surnames: Brookman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0AC.2ACE/704.2 Message Board Post: My husband is Virgie Mae Brookman Drumheller's grandson. Her father is Millard Brookman b. 1886, his is John Wesley Brookman b. abt 1843, and according to these posts, his is Pleasant Ewall Brookman b. 1835. Am I the only one that has noticed that the age difference between the first Pleasant and his son John is only 8 years? Is there something that I am missing here? I just assumed them to be brothers. HELP! Thanks, Christina Drumheller
