Hello,

I wanted to leave a comment about my great-grandfather, whose name appears on page 15 of the 1880 census, Fallbrook Borough. He is a boarder in the
home of Mr. Campbell Lowry (family #140). The original census page shows that the census taker put the first and last names in the "first name" column, so it was hard to tell which was his last name... and it's actually been listed backwards in the transcription. Rather than his name being Judge BROWN, it's Brown JUDGE.

I was so thrilled to find Brown's naturalization declaration on your site. I found it just yesterday, (It has been on the site several years) even though I have visited the site before, but it has been a while. Oddly enough, I had been to a Family History Center in my town yesterday morning and had ordered a microfilm index to help find
Brown's naturalization date. When I came back home in the afternoon, I was intending to get information on how to get my grandfather's birth certificate (he was born in Fallbrook a year after Brown Judge emigrated). And what did I find on your site? The information I was looking for about Brown's naturalization. Now I know the month, year and port of his arrival in America. He barely made it into the census, as he arrived in June, 1880!

An interesting note - we see that Brown was boarding in the home of Campbell Lowry. One of Brown's children, my great-aunt Sarah Judge Lowry,
eventually married Campbell's son, Thomas. Sarah and Thomas are listed in the Hamilton Township 1910 and 1920 census, and named one of their children after Campbell.

Thanks so much for a site full of information - it's the kind of place I can spend hours in and always find something interesting.
