Our families come from Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia and dates back to 1895 in Kansas.   We also came from Austria, Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, Germany, and England. Traditionally, the last name can tell a lot about your heritage.  The last name often told where you came from and the class of your family.  We haven’t kept that tradition; and so it isn’t as easy to tell much about a person from their last name these days.

Our research has only just begun. We continue to research our Genealogy Information, which is not complete and may not be 100% accurate as yet. We are currently attempting to confirm the information and continue the research. Our Brown family was from England and was one of the founding families of Trumbull Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio (which at that time was part of New Connecticut).  It is through the Brown Family that we held land in Kansas back in 1895.  We are also related to the John Brown, abolitionist who's picture hangs in the Topeka Capital Building.
