Mabel
Thank you for your kind offer. As it happens, I suscribe to the Rootsweb
Brown County Mailing List and kind people there have already been very
helpful to me with US census entries, newspaper articles and cemetery
listings and photographs, so that I have a good idea of my husband's
great-uncle and great-aunt's life in the United States. My aim now is to
try to find out more about the roots of Frances Evans and her family in
Wales. Unfortunately, with a name like Evans, the pitfalls are enormous
but I hope someone can assist with a census entry or marriage details.
Regards,
Yvonne

married
