I have just received my hot matches, about 100 of them, all for John Brown 1811, who I added to my tree 24 hours ago. I have now changed his name to Johnorjames Brown, since he is usually called John but on one census is called James, and I added his place of birth. Maybe that will stop the H.M. from being full of John Brown 1811.
