I have an Elizabeth Lousen who married Peter Donald date unknown, place unknown. I do know they had twin sons, David (my ancestor) and John, christened 12 July 1796 in Lintrathen. Can anyone tell me about the Lousen name? Is it connected to Lowson or some other spelling? I haven't started to do any research on either Peter Donald or Elizabeth Lousen's parents, and I guess I should get started. Anne Godfrey A Veteran is someone who at one point wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America". Please take time to say "Thanks". That is Honor, and there are way too many people who no longer understand it. "The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign lands should be reduced lest the State become bankrupt. The people should be forced to work and not depend upon the government for subsistence." Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC. _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail®: Get quick friend updates right in your inbox. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Updates2_042009
