Question:

Looking for relatives of the late comedian Joe E. Brown.?

I need to find any relatives of the late comedian/actor/acrobat Joe E. Brown. I have names of immediate family who are deceased. Any suggestions as how to track down addresses at time of death, or remaining relatives? Thank you.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: According to wikipedia, his son, Joe L. Brown, was manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates until '85. I find that in 2001, he was on the Board for the Baseball Hall of Fame committee. Do you know if he is now deceased? You might try contacting the Pittsburgh Post-gazette; alternately, go to the Social Security Death Index and do a search to see if he's dead. If so, they'll give a date; then search for his obit to see who HIS survivors are. Again, that would probably be through the newspaper. If the newspaper isn't cooperative, contact the Pittsburgh Public Library reference department.

You can ask a librarian here:

Try the library first-- librarians are usually very helpful. Newspapers-- sometimes. If you try the newspaper, go to the sports department.
