My Family

What do you know now about them?

You must share enough information as known if you want followers to share.

Logan, do you know how we are related?

Do you relate to Emma Catherine Brooks Blalock Ison? Emma was my great grandmother on my paternal side. In addition, do you know any more of her ancestors? Thank you.

Logan. If you want to know who your family was, first take dna tests. As a late in life discovery adoptee who never knew about the secret I was adopted in Germany and born to a French Jew from Strasbourg France, the dna tests I've taken began to open a whirlwind of info about my family from Europe. Research all search engines like Family Search which is free to use, immigration, ports of entry, census records, family including newly found genetic cousins. For me, I found out very recently I am related to former Sec of State- Henry Kissinger via my Julich/Stern/Kissinger links and also Julius "J' Robert Oppenheimer via my Oppenheimer/Stern links, both from Germany. I'm sure I will find my connection to my being related to Albert Einstein too. Keep trying. If I can be if help, please reach out to me

More information would be helpful. I have Brooks on maternal grandfather’s side if you are looking for that connection.

It would help if you didn't make your relatives or your tree private so that others can try to make connections to them. Also, the more relatives you add to your tree the better. Just a couple of suggestions and I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to ask any questions you have, and we will try our best to help. 😊

How am I related to this forum?

There are many 'Brooks' and 'West" in my family tree. To trace a relationship, you need to indicate at least 3 generations back by providing year of birth and death and location.

We'd love to help but we need a starting point like the names and dates of any family members of whom you are aware and whether living or deceased. The relationship of each of these to you would be helpful. Genealogy can be difficult and frustrating and may lead you down many blind alleys but stick to it. The results are gratifying.

Are you related to Margie Brooks of Oregon by way of Arizona and Montana???

I have two Brooks in West Virginia. Rebecca b. 1830 married to Perry Jarvis b. 1825 and her father Jeremiah Brooks b. 1797. If this rings a bell, message me. I don’t think I belong in this forum. Best of luck.

How am I related to this forum? why am I receiving this? Lynn

Jackie Frant Lynn Arsanis I’ve looked at a few family trees here and I don’t think any of us are related lol. I barely use this website and I don’t think I even have much of a tree here. The only person who can answer why we're here is Private User and until I have any info to go off of I’m disregarding this forum. Take care :)

My father's line, the Thorne family, goes back to England in the 1600s and includes other lines like Isherwood, Mills, Addison, Meshaw, and Wisner. On the other hand, my mother's line, Taylor, has roots in North Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It also includes the Jenkins, Wenner, and Evans families. If anyone feels they might have a connection with any of these families or would like some help, please contact me.

How to start to find out these lineage from our ancestors family

Dear Logan,
DNA will help find connections to relatives. I was able to find my grandfather relatives in France, he was Italian/ French, he lost contact with them after the war.
Best Regards

I am not Irish, Welsh, Scottish or English.

Hello there, Logan. My great grandmother was a Brooks. She married my great grandfather to become and Ericksen. This branch of the Brooks were in the South Carolina/Kentucky area.

Hi Peter Thorne! I have a Mary Thorne born 1668 in Cutcombe Somerset England married to John Chapman III. Wonder if we are distantly related?

Hi, Logan; I have at least 63 Brooks relatives that I'm aware of. No doubt there are many more I haven't researched yet. Some of my Brooks relations are direct ancestors (Gr-Gr-Grandparents, 3rd Great, 4th great, etc. What other information can you share with us?

I was wondering the same thing... how am I related to this? I received an email asking about this forum.

Any explanation would be great! :)

Good Luck!

First of all if you want help we need to know your birth situation. Are you adopted? That takes you down a different search path. If your parents are your birth parents then you need to reveal your mother’s maiden name, your grandparents names etc. You will not get very far without divulging that information. If you are REALLY serious about finding information a DNA test is the fastest and best way to start. Whatever your reason, don’t drag your feet. Unfortunately, DNA test were not available when I was younger. I was adopted and always wondered what happened. It took me over 50 years to finally find my birth parents who were both deceased by then. But I finally did a DNA test and a whole new world opened up for me. It was the best thing I ever did.

If it's $$$ there's nothing left... ; )

Something wrong. I am not related to any of these families.

And if you don't have the information from a tree, then you need to do a full dna test for autosomal, y and mtdna to get a direction for your research.

I want to know what happened to my maternal step grandfather. He was married to my great grandmother, Nancy Belle Whitehouse in Kentucky in the 1890’s. First marriage for both (though she would go on to marry many more), and they had 3 children (not my grandmother). His last name was Duke or Dukes and he died quite young - maybe early 30’s. That was around 1907. I have never been able to find out when, where, or cause of death. Great grandmother NancyBelle, though soon after married (I think) her sister’s widower and my grandmother was born. Whew!! I realize that he might not have been a direct relative, but after the stories my mother told me about her grandmother, I have often wondered if Nancy Belle might have had a hand in it. I’ve researched for many, many years and can’t find anything about his death. Any suggestions?

I don't see how we are related

My family history has been difficult to research as I was adopted at birth. I have been successful in tracking the family of my biological mother however I have had no contacts with my biological father's family. (they were not married) Now deceased his name was John Richard Everett birth date August 13, 1930 died September 17, 1987 in Dayton, Ohio. Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
