The Browns Are Here!

[Cawdorian]

some of the intermarriages to both Lamont and Campbell (Ouch).

This is an interesting thread, it appears that many of our Lamont ancestors married Campbells. One of my Lamont ancestors (a Patrick) also married a Campbell in Scotland. I believe those Campbell girls must have lived just across the glen or the burn from the Lamonts. The Lamonts were the ferriers in the area around Argyll and Cowal, maybe they met the Campbell ladies on the ferry boat.

On my father's side of the family, I have the Lamonts and two different strains of Campbells, the Blackburn's and Blair's from Scotland. The Brown strain appears on my mother's side along with the McGregors, Bruce of Airth, Bruce of Stenhouse, Dunbar's, more Campbells and the Woods. There are more families and clans on both sides, I just can't remember all of them. I think I'm going to make a list just for fun.

I have noticed that there isn't as much activity in the Heraldry & Tartan section compared to a few of the more popular spots but, I guess that will be the proper place to discuss the Clan Brown history. For those of you that are interested and would like to share your knowledge of Clan Brown, I would appreciate any input. I am still learning about our heritage and I am sure a lot of you are way ahead of me on your research. I look forward to the discussion.

I am told that it's proper XMark etiquette to announce your arrival as a Newbie to the community. I'm here!

WHERE ARE THE REST OF THE BROWNS?!

I once was a Brown but I married a Smith.
Perchance this is related to my inability to spell without a spellchecker. Can you imagine if I had to spell Elmer Hippinscooperknoper? Which is what my mother wanted to name her first dog.

My father always said that if we were from Scotland we must have been the Brown Clan that got chased out. If so, it was probably a religious issue that was at the root of it.

I'm in the same boat, I can get my Brown's back to Baltimore and/or Philidelphia, but I can't get them back across the water. The Browns are very difficult to trace. We need our own little space on the web where we can set a web site and record our family trees. I believe we can do that at myfamily.com or a similar web site.

A belated welcome.

I used to work with the outfit that owned the JayVee baby clothes factory in Rocky Mount back in the 60's. Nice town.
