So we reach another Saturday and that means another surname study. We cycle back to my own ancestry again with a line where I only know my second great grandmother, Jane Neal Campbell.

October 2010 research trip report
Early in October, I made a genealogical research trip to central Illinois and eastern Indiana. The goal of the trip was to view some pertinent records in a university archive and then to visit one of the family graveyards - after all, what better activity is there for the haunting month of October?
The short story is that the trip was a success. Now to tell you the longer story...
Surname Saturday: Brown
It's Saturday again, so it's time to review another of the surnames that I am researching. Just like the Beach surname, since there are still living relatives in this line, we'll start this post with my great-grandfather Charles E. Brown. Since I started my research, I learned that Brown is the fourth most common surname in the United States as of the 2000 U.S. census. This may make scanning indexes a little more difficult, but I have a strategy.
