I have always believed that Branum was the only way to
spell my surname, but when looking at my grandfather's
death certificate recently I found that the registrar
of our county in 1935 had spelled it Brannum. I do narrow
my searches to Branum, Brannum, and Branham due to limited
time available.

Goodluck!
