I’m trying to find out a little more about my Brown line this week. I’ve traced back to my second great grandfather James M. Brown (b. circa 1853, Bloomington, Indiana). I can’t quite get much farther back yet except that the 1880 U.S. census says his parents were both born in South Carolina. I found a potential lead on more information in the Ancestral File database on FamilySearch, but I have no way to contact the contributors. Aaaarrrrgggghhh!

My last day at FGS 2011 in which I scare the bejeebus out of a genealogist
Yeah, sad to say that I finished my visit to the FGS 2011 conference today. The conference will continue tomorrow, but I’ve got another meeting in another state to get to tomorrow morning. So this will be my last update from the show. But, it won’t be the last post with information and resources gained from attending the show. As to how you scare a genealogist, read on…
Surname Saturday: Cranston
It's another Saturday, so it's time for another surname study. This week we'll take a look at another line where I only know of one person with the surname. Today's surname is Cranston, as in Margaret Cranston of Ireland.
Surname Saturday: Campbell
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.
SNGF (but on Sunday) - Ahnentafel Roulette
So the rules are that I'm supposed to take my father's age, divide it by four, and then find the person listed as that number on my ahnentafel report and write at least three facts that I know about him/her. For me, this leads to a woman who I need to research further, my 2nd great grandmother Katie Lamb.
