I am trying to trace the FANK family and am hitting dead end after dead end on some of these names and their spouses. If there is anyone out there who is related to this line, please contact me and help me fill in the blanks. How am I related Lula FANK's father, Nelson O. BROWN? Was he also my great great great grandfather? His son, Albert, by his first marriage, was my great great grandfather. I have been working on the family history for almost 4 years now and have a lot of information I am willing to share. So far this is all I have on the Fank line:
