In this case, the amazing genetic genealogy community came together to raise the needed funds in just over 24 hours. My family knows never to tell me you have a problem if you don’t want me solve it, so that’s what I set about to do. Unfortunately, the family was unexpectedly short funds for the funeral. I explained to Vee that “the scientists” as well as others were rallying around her after her father’s passing, and indeed, so many people did.Īs you know from my article a few days ago, William Brown passed away. Vee’s comment about “the scientists” is referring to many Family Tree DNA employees who contributed personally when they became aware of the circumstances, as well as the broader community. Today, I want to say a huge thank you, from me and from Vee Browne-Yellowhair, the daughter of Navajo Code Talker, William Brown. This is not a solicitation, as those are both closed now, but something much different that will warm your heart. In the past few days, I’ve had the honor of working with the family of Navajo Code Talker William Tully Brown to assure that he had the funeral he deserved which meant that funds needed to be raised quickly, using both GoFundMe and a Facebook Fundraiser.
