Charles David Brown

I am a great great grandson of Charles David Brown. My Father's mother was Beverly Brown Lund, daughter of William Riley Brown. How can I gain access to the personal ancestral file? This is a great work that has been undertaken. I currently live in Roy, Utah.

My half-brother is a Brown. His paternal grandmother is descendant of Howard Egan. I am trying to establish whether there is a connection between Captain James Brown family and Howard Egan family.

American sawmill workers in Chihuahua 1912

In the spring of 1912, my grandfather Millard Bowden went to Chihuahua to work at a sawmill. His wife and 5 month boy went with him by train from Philadelphia, Mississippi to Mexico. While my grandfather was working, my grandmother and baby "hid" behind mattresses in their rooms. They returned to Mississippi in 1912. I'm looking for newspaper accounts and family stories about these MS sawmill workers in Mexico.

Everardo Navas' nephew // Filiberto

To everyone on this site... I want to thank all of you for the numerous mentions of my great grandfather Filiberto navas de Molina and his son Everardo. In the family, I think i am the only one whom shares his bithdate to a dregree. I was born on August 22nd 1965. As I read the articles and the captions of the pages, I remember being there in toluca when I was really young. My granddad had a really nice garden with rabbits. It was amazing to me to see the trophies and his ards for his skills in sports. I remember seeing his javelins and his discus. Perhaps I remember seeing his frame and how confidant he looked. When I did some checking it was nice to see that his name still shows in the Presea de deportes even after 1996. To those that supplied the pictures and the commentaries, I say thank you. And for those that have have said prayers today, bless you. I will have to let my grandmother know about today, I think she will be flabergasted if not totally surprised.

Editor: Edward, please let me know who are your parents and what is your full name. How is Everardo Navas doing? We do not know whether he has made permanent his move to Cabo San Lucas. How are he and Norma? What is your email address?

Went to school with Mickey Hayden

I found this website and recognized Mickey's picture right away! I went to school with him at Burges High School in El Paso. He still looks great. I enjoyed reading the bio. of Mickey's mother and seeing his family.

Ira Coray Abbott

Some of this sites Ira Coray Info is wrong... IRA's parents were Edmond Austin Abbott and Nancy Gregory - this info according to his bio-sketch to which he contributed, which appears in the 1882 publication: THE HISTORY of WALWORTH COUNTY, Wisconsin, where he lived from 1878-1885.... He was born in Burns, Allegany County, New York...not in Michigan...He, of course, moved to St. Joseph County (White Pigeon Community, Michigan with his parents in 1835...He first married in 1850 a Roxanna Brown of Elkhart, Indiana - they had a daughter, Harriet Emma in 1851..Roxanna died in 1852, he went back to Burr Oak, Michigan that year; was appointed Justice of the Peace there......then later Electa Araminta Shear of Phelps, Ontario, New York (May 19, 1857)..they had 3 children: Charles E. (1858), William C. in 1860, then Carrie P. All were born in Burr Oak.

Fife information

First I have to thank you, our family did not have a photograph of Diana Davis Fife. I got lots of great information from your site and have used it in research. Wondering if you have any idea about Diana Davis\'s father Daniel Davis and why his father would be a Lewis? Thanks again the site is wonderful!

Where is the map showing the location of the foundations of the Fife ranch drawn by Mrs. Myrll Roll located? It is mentioned on the Agnes Fife bio.
