The next group of albums come from "Family Albums" of Phillip and Betty Brown. They are identified here with the number that the albums have been assigned in their family library although the pictures here are just those that were taken at church related activities. The subjects of the pictures include many activities that are already recorded in Bethel's photo albums as well as some others. There are few duplicates in actual pictures as these family albums contain many gaps where pictures were removed to put into the albums at Bethel.
