Eventually I'll get more information in here, but for now, the key takeaways are:
I've been interested in genealogy since 7th grade, but only actively working on it since about 1997 when I moved to Canada and, not knowing anyone but my husband, and not being able to work, decided to reconnect with my great-uncle and dig in.
My great-uncle, Lindon Bramwell, did a fair bit of research on our Bramwell and Porter lines as well as others. His name comes up often in research. If you have questions of him, I may have the answers or my parents might as they have his files.
I'm possibly single-handedly responsible for spreading the false information that our Kohls line's surname was originally "Landers." I misread the "S" as an "L." It's actually Sander and I have the proof now. If you've imported this "fact" into your tree, please update it accordingly. When I get to the point in my tree where it switches names, I'll be sure to have the visual proof included. In the meantime, I'm sorry!
