Family Histories

Dear family members:
I am very concerned about Jim Klein copyrighting all the family Histories and Pictures that we as a family have sent to him for the building up of the Brown Family Organization in good faith. I know I did not give him permission to copyright the information I sent him. I also do not like the fact that he has copyrighted this information to himself personally and not to the Brown Family Organization. By copyrighting this information to himself he has taken away all our rights to our own property.
I was also upset to find that the movie we saw at the reunion nor the book he told us about was on the disk he made us sign for. What is he going to do with this movie none of us have? Why did he make this movie if he wasn't going to share it with the family?
What are your thoughts on this?

Orson's Autobiography - Colonia Oaxaca

Just in case you do not have the first 14 pages of Orson's autobiography, it is available from brownhistory.org, (unless it is a different autobiography). My Langford family comes from Colonia Oaxaca, thus my interest in the Mexican Colonies! Thank you for your web site.

Editor: Thank you David for the attached fourteen pages plus 51. Take another look at the website menu. The pages you sent are the first 65 pages of Clyde Weiler Brown's book and are also exactly the same as the edited work of Nelle Spilsbury Hatch. So glad you are enjoying the website. Please continue to send any additions or corrections. We would love to get more data on Colonia Oaxaca!

Stephen Fairchild Wilson

E-mail to the webmaster was not able to be relayed to the webmaster of this site so I'm hoping you get this message from here. My goodness what a wonderful website you have! My search for information on what appears to be an erroneous Adams (from Haynie back to Wilson then Phelps then Adams) hook-up, led me to your site where I discovered the typed biography of Stephen Fairchild Wilson, husband of Sarah Jane Brown. I have a copy of the original journal entries and was wondering how I might obtain the typed biography in full. ??? Thanks for any help in this matter that you may be able to provide.

Galbraith Book of Mormon

I recently purchased a book, The Book of Mormon 1950 with an inscription: Elder Wm J. Galbraith 210 Patterson Ogden Utah. Could this be a relative?

Cecelia Cornue

As you know, Cecelia Henrietta Cornu had two sons: James Frederick Brown (my grandfather) and Charles David Brown. I am attaching some pictures that my brother sent me -- one of Ceclia, a few of James Frederick and his family, but also one of Charles David and his family. I hope these are helpful to you.

Unfortunately, due to a lot of family and other activies in the past few weeks, I just have not had time to go to your website and look at what you have done. I am keeping your email on top of my files, however, and I hope I get a chance to visit it in the next few days.

I really admire people like you who are putting so much time into family histories! Keep up the good work.

Most sincerely,
James B. Allen
