The Brown/Browne/Braun DNA Study has two primary aims: (1) to encourage the use of DNA analysis for tracing the genealogies of various Brown family lines, including families with variant spellings like Browne, Broun, Browning and Braun; and (2) to lend one another technical support in the application of DNA to genealogical research. The project is a volunteer activity, coordinated by unpaid amateur genealogists. Most testing is contracted thru a commercial firm, Family Tree DNA of Houston TX, with the majority of lab work done at the University of Arizona. But we happily accept DNA results from other companies and other labs. Direct test participation is limited to males, since females don't carry any sort of DNA that can "track" a surname. On the other hand, about half of our test participants have been recruited and paid for by their female relatives. I'm glad to report that the project now has results for 410 members, while initial lab work for another four members is currently ongoing. So as the project approaches its sixth anniversary, our tested membership has now reached a grand total of 414! Among the DNA results so far reported, 259 participants have what appear to be "genealogically significant" matches with other members, falling into some 74 relationship groups, while another 151 members are still waiting for their first matches. These numbers translate to a match rate of about 63% -- a healthy gain from the rate of 50% that we achieved last year. These statistics also mean that we've so far identified 225 separate, biologically distinct Brown family lines. Although we've always known that the Brown surname had diverse origins, this level of diversity is much greater than many of us would have expected -- all the more so since our project has thus far tested something less than 0.02 per cent of the Brown-surnamed men in the English-speaking world! What's more, a number of our members have achieved genuine breakthroughs in their genealogical quests. In my own case, for example, DNA helped bring down a genealogical "brick wall" that had blocked research on my Brown line for almost 40 years. Results for our currently "matched" participants appear on this page: http://brownsociety.org/browndna/groupresults.html while those who don't yet have a match are listed here: http://www.brownsociety.org/browndna/unique.html Then for those members who have supplied the project with genealogical information, the earliest known Brown ancestors are listed by earliest known locations at this page: http://brownsociety.org/browndna/earliestancestorsgeographic.html (You'll note on these pages that almost all of our participants have allowed us to list their names alongside their DNA results. But we'll also be glad to grant anonymity to any member who so requests.) If you or a member of your Brown family has already had a DNA test, we sincerely urge you to join us. It won't cost a thing, and it may help advance the research on your own Brown ancestry. Just remember that there's strength in numbers! Or if you haven't yet tested but are interested in doing so, please contact me off-list for info on costs and procedures.

Can anyone help with information about William and Jane before 1841especially with names of children so that I can confirm what I believe to be the line of descent Many thanks George Brown GEORGE BROWN <ikeyb@btinternet.com> 2006-10-02T04:16:03-06:00 [BROWN-ENG-NTH] (no subject) http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BROWN-ENG-NTH/2006-09/1158346459 Unsubscribe "Nina Nielsen" <reedmn@cc.usu.edu> 2006-09-15T12:54:19-06:00 Alexander Brown, b. ~1810 http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/BROWN-ENG-NTH/2006-07/1153420768 I am trying to trace Alexander Brown, born about 1810 in Northampton. He married Susannah, from Bythorn, Huntingdonshire, probably around 1835, and lived in St. Giles. I have him in the '41, '51, and '61 censuses. Any further information would be greatly appreciated. -- Thomas M. Sommers -- tms@nj.net -- AB2SB "T.M.

Thanks for any assistance. I have lots of info to share on his descendents!

However it now gives me a problem with children's names. Can anyone please check the Mears Ashby register for a Florence BROWN about 1865-1866 and also that of Thomas BROWN who was baptised 18 March 1866. They are the children of George and Harriett BROWN. Thomas does not appear on the 1871 census, so maybe he had died.

I have George, Harriet and Ada BROWN at Mears Ashby on the 1871 census and as they are at the bottom of the page I feel that there would be others on the next page.
