hi charles: Great to read your response.....incidentally Charles is also my father's name. I called him to get some update on the family tree and this is what he told me. There was an Arthur Brisbane somewhere in the states who was a renowned Journalist. My grandfathers father was named James Brisbane. Also there was a Thomas Brisbanewho was governor general of Australia who had a brother named Charles who was governor of St.Vincent. Incidentally my father was born in St.Vincent in the Caribbean where it seems is the source where most of the Caribbean Brisbanes come from. I hope I got this info. correct as I jotted down notes as my dad spoke to me. He has done quite a bit of work tracing our ancestry.
