Surnames: BROWER/BREWER from New York to Alaska
Dear Roberta,

I assume you want to find more on the ancestry of Charles DeWitt Brower and/or find other relatives. There is a tree on Ancestry by kunaqbrower that includes your Charles DeWitt Brower. This tree shows Charles was born in Manhattan, NY. If you are descended from the NY Browers, it is likely you descend from one of about three major progenitors of the Brower/Brewer lines.

I find Charles D. Brower and wife Asiangatak in the 1930 census of Noatak Kobuk, AK. In 1920 with wife "Ahskaugatuc" in Barrow, AK. In 1910 with spouse "Assinatak" of Noatak Kobuk, AK, and in 1900 in "The Territory from Point Hope Across The North Slope to Where Alaskan Boundary Touches Arctic Ocean, Northern, Alaska Territory, Browerville, Northern Supervisors District, AK." You can find a lot of information by reconstructing the families from the census records and other legal documents.

If you have any male family members, carrying the Brower surname, have you considered DNA testing? It can go a long way in helping you determine your ancestry, if you get a match with other Brower/Brewer males who have taken the test. The more people that participate in DNA testing of all surnames, ethnic groups, etc., the more beneficial it is for everyone researching those same lines.

Hope this helps.
