Genealogy: Elocid Edwina Browning (1417-1483)
I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here with the goal of eventually creating a linked family tree on Hive. You can see the index here.
Elocid Edwina Browning was born in 1856. This is late enough for there to be lots of information available. In fact, as I looked up this individual again, I found several census records, a death certificate as well as marriage records and info on several children.
According to Gramps, Elocid is my fourth cousin five times removed. She also shows up as my fifth cousin four times removed.
I use GenoPro (commercial software) to maintain my family tree because I like the "Genogram" user interface. However, I mainly use Gramps to generate reports which is what most of the info below is based on. GenoPro generates reports too, I just don't like the formatting as much. While GenoPro is commercial software, Gramps is open source software that is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. I also use its relationship calculator functionality as noted above. I've also been exploring The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) which is web based and requires a web server, PHP and mySQL database. In addition, I also have GedSite which also generates static HTML reports.
Both TNG and GedSite are commercial software so you have to pay for them. I think their price is reasonable and they are both excellent in their own ways. However, I prefer the open source nature of Gramps and the fact that it generates static HTML makes it easier to work with for sharing data here. I still like TNG enough that I will probably keep using it as well. I've been playing with GedSite on and off but haven't committed to it yet, however I've liked other sites I've seen generated with it. For now I am generating reports with Gramps and updating TNG on a fairly regular basis.
The chart at the top is an ancestry chart out to four generations from Gramps. The chart at the bottom is the same thing as generated by TNG. The index of all individuals I have posted so far can be found here.

From History of the Culpeper County Normans:
Descendants of this family of Frances Norman and Francis Browning married into the families of Strother, Browning, Willis, Menefee, White, Pendleton, Smith, Duncan, Yates, Bruce, Kerfoot, Lillard, and others. "Greenfield" the ancestral home, in what is now Rappahannock County, has remained for years in possession of the descendants of Frances Norman Browning. John Armistead Browning, Jr. whose mother was Mary Lewis Willis, a great-granddaughter of Betty Washington, is said to have been the last Browning to have lived there. The late Justice George L. Browning of Orange, former member of Virginia Supreme Court, is said to have been the last survivor of the Brownings who were born at "Greenfield."Father: Isaac **** NORMAN b: 1 Feb 1682 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Virginia Colony c: 1 Feb 1682 in Abingdon Episcopal Church - Gloucester Co., VA.
