Browns, Browns, and more Browns oh my!
So as my current relationship, I learned just before we dated he had the same last name as me, Brown. I knew it was a very common last names, like Smith, Miller and many others. Before we dated we made sure we weren't related. As it turned out we arent.
Today after about 16 years after my great grandma had passed away I went to the cemetery to where she is buried, just trying to find great grandma and grandpa was hard and had to go while they closed, but I know on a longer brighter day I know I will find them.
While I was there I did call my mom because she remembered better than me, But she only told me what grandma and grandpa told her, They couldn't find them when they wanted to show their cousins.
But as I was looking and noticeing the grave sites and names, it reminded me of a poem I have read about a year ago about Family, Some family you may never know but you share your blood and names with them and it brings you closer to family and who you are.
Today I ran into at least 10 Browns Grave sites, who I am not related to, but just like me and my boyfriends last names are the same the family history could be filled with many peoples story's and culture.
I remebr years ago when I went with my paternal grandmas house and she took me to brown city in Michigan to get some strawberry's, as it turned out one of my ancisters was a founder and most of the Brown's had lived there long ago.
