A Canadian Family 
We recently discovered that we are both Abenaki and wife has some relatives surnamed Brown. My wife said there was a note that the Abenaki Browns were basket weavers she was wondering if her Browns were related to Abenaki Browns. She can provide some names that may help to find a connection (if there us one). Thanks!
