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

Colonia Diaz

My great grandfather, Thomas Kimball Nelson was born in Colonia Diaz in 1889. My grandfather, George Kimball Nelson told me stories about him Now I can see what kind of life his father had. Thanks!

A different Galbraith and Brown conection

I was searching the internet and I put in my great grandfathers name William Wilkie Galbraith. I found This excellent web site. My Grandfather was Edmund Powell Galbraith and was the first child of the fourth wife of William. I have always wondered about the other three wifes and their families. This brought me such great information. Because my Mom was raised in the mormon colonies the name Brown and Pratt are mentioned all the time. When I went looking for information about the Browns I saw "capt. James Brown." I said no way this can not be my James Brown - but it is. My Maternal Great grandmother - Mary Elma Wilson Haynie - is his great granddaughter. Any way thanks so much for the website!

Thank you!

Erold Wiscombe called me and gave me this website, & I hasten to congratulate you on a beautiful job; I look forward to exploring it in detail. One correction: My father, Dewey Brown, born 11-14-1898, did not have a middle name, although he adopted the use of the middle initial "B" in later years. My brother, Dewey Bernard Brown, was born 7-12-1923 and died 3-2-1924, both events in El Paso, Texas. Keep up the good work! Cousin James Gordon Brown
