These reports contain data on some families by the name of Disbro(w) who live (or have lived) in the U. S., which seem to be unconnected to the line of Thomas Disbrow of Fairfield, Connecticut, either because of missing evidence, or because the first progenitor was an immigrant himself. The purpose of the reports is to compile the various assorted records of these families together into an organized form and to give their descendants a basis from which to do further research.
Each report contains all of the material I (Michael S. Disbrow) have been able to collect on the progenitor and his descendants, which span a minimum of three generations, and often more. Each one also has a full-name index. They are .pdf files which will open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
