If the birth occurred less than 100 years ago, access to the record is restricted. This Web site lists the…"

Nora Galvin commented on Nora Galvin's group Connecticut Research"Thanks, Norman. Closing the state library would be a huge loss for all family historians.

Denise Hamilton Jhanson said… - Hi Nora, I got my information on John Brown from some info my grandmother had. in about 1920 a family member named Perley Benton Brown did some research on the Browns in our family, this is where it came from. because I do not know who johns parents were, And I don't know who any of his brothers or sisters were, I would just be guessing.

Ruby Coleman said… - Thanks for your advise. I have long suspected that it is misspelled. I have checked an old map of Galway, but found nothing similar. It looks almost like a place in Wales. Somebody along through the years probably didn't know how to spell it and just guessed. Will keep trying to locate something.
