Hi Colet,

Welcome to genealogy! I don't know if you meant to post to the Jackson County, Arkansas forum - you have the surname "Jackson" in your message but you don't mention any towns in which your relatives lived. If you have posted to the wrong forum, be sure to post in the Brown and Jackson surname forums, and also in the county forum where your relatives lived. Places and dates also help identify your ancestors.

I recommend the following tutorials that will help you greatly in your genealogy research:

"Beginner's Guide to Family History Research"

"RootsWeb's Guide To Tracing Family Trees"
