I am also researching the Brass line as is Pam Bretherton, the one that already responded. Her and I have already shared a great deal of information, but I would still love to hear from you. I am a direct descendent of Wiard Brass who married Meemke Roos. Do you know any of the spouses of the names you mentioned? My line also dates back to Ogle Co,. Illinois, so there is probably some connection.

Isn't this fun?!
