I was delighted to find your blog. I s...Dear Alice,<br />I was delighted to find your blog. I set out today to research family history, but I haven't been terribly successful. <br />I, too, was told as a young teen that John Brown was my g-g-g-g-grandfather. My father slyly told me that this was information that was best kept to myself. We live in Texas. <br />My grandmother was a passionate genealogist who had discovered the connection. She has been gone 10 years now, and no one has her files. Apparently, she said, a Brown female had married a Langford. <br />Fred Langford Sr., my grandfather, probably wasn't the most fruitful branch of the family tree, but they tell me he was the spittin' image of Old Man Brown in his earlier days. He also, my dad says, was a mathematical genius. I never knew him. He died when I was young. One of my sons, though, is a math genius!<br />It dawned on me today that someone, somewhere (other than my grandmother) must have traced this branch of the family. <br />Do you know?<br />I have so much I would like to talk about. I would have preferred to email you, but it required software that I don't use on my home computer. <br />Please email me at kellypink9@hotmail.com. Dumb email address, I know. You probably hear from many of us. <br />Cousin, I think,<br />Kelly Langford ThompsonKelly Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606728180059327995noreply@blogger.com
