On-Going Research
International Brough DNA Genealogy Project:
In 2008, the RBFO began the International Brough DNA Genealogy Project. The RBFO did so because it was felt that this DNA project could further cement Brough family genealogies and provide another research tool for people who wonder if they belong to or are connected to the Broughs of northern Staffordshire, England. It was also felt that DNA testing could possibly help the RBFO narrow down research requests from different parts of the world by allowing the comparison of DNA's from RBFO members to those of other people requesting RBFO assistance with their research.
There are two ways to participate in the International Brough DNA Genealogy Project. One is free and other is not. Those individuals wishing to participate in a free DNA analysis (in which results may not be available for a year or longer) should visit the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation website. Those individuals wishing to pay for a more comprehensive DNA analysis (in which results are usually available within four to eight weeks) should investigate commercial DNA genealogy testing firms--such as DNA Ancestry or GeneTree.

New Video Documentary:
In 2002 representatives of the RBFO traveled to England to begin documenting,
researching, photographing and video-taping the historical locations of
the Broughs of Staffordshire, covering the period of 1000 to 2000 AD.
During 2008, additional RBFO representatives in England finished documenting,
research and photographing these historical locations, events and people.
Their findings, interviews and recordings have now resulted in a high-quality
video documentary on the Broughs of England and their descendants, entitled
A Thousand Years of Family History.

On-Going Research Projects:
If you're interested in supporting current RBFO genealogical research, please consider contributing financially to the RBFO which is currently supporting research in the following two areas:
1.) Continue research on the ancestors and descendants
of the Broughs of the British Isles, with particular emphasis on the lineages
already outlined in the History portion
of this website.
2.) Further document and identify the descendants of
Richard Brough and Mary Horleston of Staffordshire, England.
These two research projects will require hiring professional genealogists to review records in England and Australia that are not available to us in Utah, as well as the need to purchase documents not available through the L.D.S. Family History Library.
The RBFO Board of Trustees and Executive Officers encourages every RBFO related parent or grandparent organization to try and raise $100 or more than can be donated annually toward such research projects. Of course all financial donations--large or small--are always welcomed and greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible in the United States. As always, please send your donations by check to: RBFO Secretary, Janene Brough Wood, 115 East 800 North, Bountiful, Utah, 84010, USA.
