Welcome & What's New
[2019-04-23]
I updated the list for Leven Cooper Allen Jr. (1894-1979).
[2019-04-12]
I found my mistake in using Archive.org's search feature to look for occurrances
within the document. I re-ran the Marianne Browne Hayworth and identified
relevant pages. I re-posted the updated list.
See "marianne_browne_at_archive_2019.pdf" in my Weebly Genealogy section.
I used Archive.org to search for documents related to my grandfather,
Leven Cooper Allen Jr. (1894-1979). Included are foreign language
books and documents, borrowable books, and other stuff. Some relate to
Leven Cooper Allen Jr. (1894-1979) and some relate to Leven Cooper Allen Sr. (1851-1912).
Note that I am still playing with the search terms to see which show up
different information. For now, I'll just post the links to the documents to:
"Leven Cooper Allen at Archive 2019.pdf" in my Weebly Genealogy section.
[2019-04-10]
I have been looking at the The Wayback Machine and Archive.org to see is
I could find an online copy of "Backward Glances Memoirs From Forward-Looking
Women", edited by Virginia Gunn Fick. None of the donated copies appear to
be available online. The book includes Marianne Browne Hayworth's memoir of
Mrs FDR visiting for tea. I Didn't find the book, but DID find some interesting
information on my aunt, Marianne Browne Hayworth.

I had been looking through some of the Internet Archive entries for the BYU Family History Library [https://sites.lib.byu.edu/familyhistory/] and American Libraries [https://archive.org/details/americana?&sort=-downloads&page=1], I came across the [https://archive.org/details/feature_films] eventually ending up at Uncle Earl's Classic TV Showlist [http://www.solie.org/ClassicTV/]. I was impressed with Earl's effort, but found the categories difficult to navigate. I made a one-time attempt to put together a map of the site. Again, I found the map difficult to navigate, so I tried to put it into a list. After a lot of effort, this is the list I came up with.

I have finally added all names to my index to "Brown genealogy of many of the descendants of Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown (Part 1) and Charles Browne (Part 2)" by Cyrus Henry Brown.

Fred's Genealogy Index to "Brown genealogy of many of the descendants of Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown (Part 1) and Charles Browne (Part 2)" by Cyrus Henry Brown.
NOTE: The online book "Brown genealogy of many of the descendants of Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown" does not have a helpful index for genealogical purposes. The index does not appear to give DoB, DoD, or married names. I plan to rewrite the index giving DoB, DoD, and married names (*1). I also plan to link to the pages in the online book to make following an individual easier. Since my interest is in the Brownes (and Browns) I plan to work there first and fill in the rest at a later date.
Note 1: Note that I use an unconventional naming convention. Full maiden name (with no parenthesis) followed by married names in brackets. For example, if Ann Smith married Mr. Jones, I would refer to her as Ann Smith [Jones] not Ann (Smith) Jones.
Note 2: I tried linking to the correct page in the PDF file, but found errors. I believe the errors are possibly due to the unnumbered photos pages.I settled to linking to JPG images of the pages.
Note 3: I tried to identify OCR errors in names and page numbers, correcting them from the JPG page image.
Currently, I have only completed the Browne/Browne portions of the index.

I'm Back [again] ...
[2015-04-06] I have decided to skip some of my inherited genealogy documentation for now and concentrate on finding reasonably trusted sources and re-building our family tree from there.
I am following Ancestry.com, Geni.com, Family Tree Search, and Find-a-Grave.
I found that I could follow some links a long way.
I have blanked out PII for persons I know to be alive, and for persons born after 1900 who MAY still be alive.
I WILL NOT perform cross platform testing. I will assume that the PDF files I post will be sufficiently readable to capture the substantive data.

[2013-09-15] I'm Back...
Several years ago, I experimented with a website to post my genealogy information.
My Old site, Fred’s Genealogy, existed around 2010-2012.
It could not be found with The Way Back Machine looking for
http://www.fredsgeneology.com/
It could not be found with The Way Back Machine looking for
http://fredsgenealogy.weebly.com/
I learned a lot, BUT I did not have sufficient time/interest to keep up with the site.
I have also discovered that some of the old items of interest have disappeared due to
several reasons.
Owner abandonment due to loss of interest/support.
ISP changes.
Cleanup of untimely data.
Now, when I find an item of interest, I plan to not only save a link to the item of interest,
but to also save any interesting links to other items posted.
I also plan to preserve the content of interest, and repost a copy if the original source/site
disappears.
I will attempt to preserve attribution back to the original source.
I may also reformat the content if the original format did not lend itself to sharing.
Original documentation which may have been scanned from hardcopy documentation
may not allow easy reuse in other formats or for other purposes.
Scans of second or third generation hardcopy documents may be difficult to restore the
original formatting intent.
I WILL NOT perform cross platform testing. I will assume that any HTML I post will
be sufficiently readible to capture the substantive data. I assume that my Microsoft
Word and Adobe Acrobat versions will remain readable.
In order to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), I will make reasonable efforts to
remove PII prior to posting/re-posting any documentation.
To reduce the possibility that this genealogy information might contain PII, I plan not to
publish birthdates, birthplaces, or places of residence for persons born after 1900 for whom
I do not have death information.
Also, to reduce the possibility that the online sources might be used by others to obtain PII,
I am not listing some of these sources.
