My one and only past family search landed near Stratford, Ontario, where my grandfather, Carles Spurgeon Brown, was buried in the family plot at the Hampstead cemetary. His grandfather, John Brown, was originally from Scotland. founded a nearby mill. Oldest son ran a general store and had the local Post office. I drove out to see where all this had been and was, several years. ago. Have been tempted to contact several people listed in the phone book with family names but never have.

Have done little about the other three parts of the family pinochle, other than to try to trace them a bit through the Internet with info from family legend. Everyone seems to have been in the US for awhile. However, your query may get me started up.

Cheers! Jo in still sunny Sunnyvale
