Melissa Lampman Brown

Hi, My name is Kim Draney Weston, I am the daughter of Norman Elmo Draney. Grandaughter to Melissa Lampman Brown. I sent some pictures in, along with some updates, on my father Norman Draney Melissa and Elmo Draney\'s youngest son. I had hoped that they would be posted on the site. I would like the updates to be known. My father was born July 18, 1936 in Ogden, Utah. He married my mother Barbara Lou Brown, daughter to Richard William Brown and Esther Irene College, on September 21, 1955. My father died in Glendale, Arizona, on September 24, 1984, the victim of a drunk driver. My mother passed away May 31, 2006. I hope someone can contact me or advise me as to how I might be able to post photos and information it would be great. I have photos of my father\'s siblings, my Aunt Viola and Uncle Gene, that I noticed were not on the site also better pictures of my Grandmother and Grandfather. And just as a curious note, since I never knew my Mom\'s dad, he too was the victim of a drunk driver when she was only 3....but, he was also a Brown...does anyone know if he is an ancestor of Captain James Brown? I imagine he was but don\'t know the facts.
Sincerely,
Kim Draney Weston

Hi Kim, Thank you for your e-mail. You can find a little bit of information on the webpage about your parents. You will find that Barbara Lou Brown is the great-great-granddaughter of Ebenezer Brown, one of the co-founders of Draper, Utah. Ebenezer's father and grandfather are from Kirkcudbright, Scotland in the early 1700's so no connection to Captain James Brown, unless it is an indirect sibling connection that I haven't found as yet. You typed that Barbara died in 2006, did you mean 2005? What is her birthdate in 1935? Please send pictures to LucyGenealogy@hotmail.com. This chat room software does not provide for attachments. If you send a biography I can make a full webpage for your parents. Do you have a better photo of Melissa Lampman Brown and/or her husband Willard Elmo Draney? I would love to receive these for this site. I have more information on your family on my PAF file. I am trying to find time and information on how to attach my PAF to this website, password accessible only for the privacy of living family members. Stay on the look out for that possibility.


Hi Lucy, Yes I have better pictures of Melissa and Elmo, I will forward them to you...Yes I did mean 2005. My Mother was born in 1936, in Lehi, Utah...Thank you so much for the information on my Mother's side of the family...My husband has teased me for years that we are imbred... LOL...not funny.
Thank you again,
Kim Draney Weston
