Meet your ancestors

My aim is to bring these families stories to life to share with my immediate family and any cousins or other relatives who want to hear their ancient stories.

The use of text, videos, slideshows, photographs and old documents are used to tell their stories. These materials are from the 1800s. As well as from more recent family photographs and documents.

I have begun by introducing you to our great, great grandparents John D. Brown and his wife Anne Brown (Brownlee) and their 12 children.
