>WOW! For the first time in 4 years I have found an Illinois BROWN Family
with a member named "Clarinda!" I am hoping what follows will close the
gap on my years of searching. Here goes...

My gt-gt-gtgrandmother is Clarinda BROWN, born 8 Apr 1832 in PA (county
unknown). Her mother was definitely "Olive" (nee ?) but I do not know
her
father. In 1850 she was living in McHenry Co, IL. She married Dec 1852
Jacob V.V. YATES in Kenosha Co, WI, and moved to Chippewa County, died
there in 1852.

NOW ... there are several related families with surnames SIRRINE,
STEVENS,
and MILLARD. Every one of them has several "Clarindas." So I am hoping
that this somewhat unusual first name was passed on through several
generations and may lead back to my Clarinda and her family.

Can you tell me about your "Clarinda" BROWN and roots in PA, perhaps? I
am
hoping for some family links in there somewhere.

Thanks,

Bill

That's encouraging, Bill, I do hope you and Wanda make a connection.
That's another reason it is good to carry on a conversation when your
talking about ancestors and listing their names to include it as a CC to
the Brown List.....good luck......keep at it.
