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!

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.
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.
