Hi Robert, Yes, I am a distant 'cousin' . I'm a 3rd cousin to Doug Bowd. His Grandmother Frances Hall was my 1st cousin - 5 generations removed. Her grandfather George Hall was my 5th G-Grandfather. I don't know much about the Bowd family as a whole, but if I can be of help I'm happy to. I'll contact you off list with some info. Kind Regards 'cousin' Norma McLean [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Bowd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 10:08 PM Subject: Bowd Family > To Whom It May Concern, > > I'm a descendant of William Joshua Bowd, a convict who married Margaret > Moore, the daughter of two convicts Tristram Moore and Catherine Johnson. > > I'd appreciate any information, from fellow subscribers, regarding the > family history of the Bowds, or Moore and Johnson families pre their > arrival in New South Wales. > > Are there any relatives of D.G.
