I may have to order a Death Certificate to continue my research or close a door. Thank you for your assistance Dougie

I had already found Douglas Brown's father & mother in the 1930 USA Census I have found this a very challenging search. Douglas' mother & father originally emigrated to Canada from Scotland & married there. They then cressed over to the USA & settled in Detroit. All of the information about Douglas Brown has come from an elderly third party. Regards, Dougie

	Ancestry has them transcribed as Broson. No wonder I couldn't find them. Rose

	Best if you post the details from the census so we can get ages and siblings. I'm not seeing a Douglas Brown in Detroit with those details. Rose

Member Since: October 2003 Posts: 35 Send Message	I am trying to find any family of Douglas Brown born in Detroit in 1931. He is the son of Charles Brown & Agnes Thom who were both Scottish immigrants to the USA Charles & Agnes were my Great Uncle & Aunt. I have found them living in Detroit in the 1940 USA Census. My trail has now gone cold. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Dougie
