Only my mother is on my birth certificate, I have her dna confirmed, but I’m afraid she may have blocked out a traumatic event because she says it’s one of two native guys from Minnesota, but I can’t figure out how I connect to either of them.
Here’s what I have so far. The James Brown born in Mexico, Missouri, In Sept.11th,1888 was Sonny’s father, “Sonny“ was supposedly Raymond Brown, born in the 40’s, sister Evelyn, (Her children’s children are showing up as my second cousins), his brother Edward (daughter is showing up as a great aunt,) I can’t seem to find any other children of Raymond, who would be my great-grandfather, so I’m thinking he may have been a rolling stone and either didn’t know about another child, or I have to wait until they die to get the information. The family that I’m connected to, which is pretty great since I've never had more than four total family members with blood relation, I could not be more happy with the newfound family. But they say they all split up around the country, and they have very little information where or what he did, and the names my mother gave me as the options aren’t Browns or appearing to be children of any Browns...
