I am looking for any information on the following families: Bryan,Newman,Modor,Freeman,Gill,Himes,and Tait. Sophia Josephine Freeman is my great-great-great-grandmother and was born in April of 1859. She married Victor Mondor and they had children Robert,Ida,Irene,Harry, and Mary, all in Sierra County. Sophia re-married, for unknown reasons, a Mr. Tait and had children Kathryn and Troy. Sophia and Victor are buried in Sierraville, he in Nov.1922 and she in Oct.1903. Mary Helen Mondor married Albert Newman and they had one child,Ida Mae Newman born 1/7/1892. She married Elwyn D. Bryan and they had children Elmo Mae Bryan(9/1/1914)and Edith Francis Bryan(1/5/1912),both born in Loyalton. Elwyn,Ida,and their daughters moved to Sacramento after Elmo's birth.

Aaron Gill and Maria Himes, also my great-great-great-
grandparents, had Annie Maria Gill(8/10/1863). Annie married Richard Bryan(7/16/1854) and they had children Francis(Frank),Grace,Elwyn,Annie,Emma,Alice,Marian,and Alta. Frank was buried in 1898 and Marian was buried in 1901 in Sierraville. Richard was buried in March of 1924 in Loyalton. Elwyn married Ida Bryan, parents of Elmo and Edith.

Elmo Bryan met Edward McEwen in Sacramento and had children Edward,David, and Michele. Michele McEwen met Floyd Brinkley and had myself(Nick) and my sister Dana Michele Brinkley.

Any help with finding more on these people would be much appreciated. Any help I can give with your search will be gladly given. Thank You,

Nick

Nicholas,

I believe we are cousins. Aaron Gill and Maria Himes (didn't know there names until now) were my gggrandparents. Annie and Richard were my ggrandparents and their daughter Alice Bryan Frost was my grandmother.

Would love to talk to you. You seem to have more information than I do, but my dad does remember Uncle Elwyn.

I am trying to find out what happened to My Nan's half brother, a Frank Tait. He was born in Snodland in 1896 where he was brought up by his grandparents. He was still living with them in 1911, but we known nothing of his whereabouts after that! Family seem to think he up and left, possibly joined the navy! any information on him would be wonderful.
