Wow now that wad a mouthful for sure. My comment was from a personal level only. Everyone including me has the right to their own opinion. That being said lets drop this sillyness and get back to important genealogical issues.Nancy and Steve ????------ Original message------From: Stephen KangasDate: Fri, Mar 29, 2019 2:50 PMTo: [email protected];Cc: Subject:[BOWEN] Re: Fwd: I have created a Facebook Group for BOWEN (and related spellings) surname genealogyWow. I am amazed that apparently even on email group forums like this onethat there are folks that jump to wild conclusions and start flaming.Expanding the reach of a discussion topic of interest to multiple methods ofcommunication is always a good thing to do. There are some that won't eversubscribe to a group like this on Google, Yahoo, etc, for variousreasons...particularly Google given its checkered past in privacy, identitytheft, etc...while others won't ever be on Facebook and others on Twitterand others on Instagram and others on Slack...you get the idea. They areall very popular forums, and it's a "to each his/her own" thing as to whichsingle or multiple ones they prefer. With that said, and having been a marketing executive dealing with theimportance of reaching audiences on a variety of topics, I'll share thatFacebook does have certain advantages, not the least of which is it muchmore populated with Bowens/relatives than here...it's simply a much largersocial media community than this platform. That should make it moreinteresting regarding Bowen genealogy, as it is already there for othersurnames & relatives. Just my somewhat expert opinion, but again: to eachtheir own, if you want to be selective about what social media sites youhave accounts with (like me), than you are not legally bound to subscribeto, or leave from, any of them.Stephen (son of Grace Brooks Bowen, b1909 Scottsboro AL, d1992 Wasilla AK)-----Original Message-----From: Kathleen B.

Again, to each his own. Facebook is a tool. Like any tool, it has pros and cons and each person's POV will mean they may determine what's a pro or con differently than others. FB has settings for privacy, notifications, etc. and each user can choose to learn them and use them or not. Most people who are overwhelmed by FB or feel it has been breached, etc., has not tried to learn and then implement all the available settings & features. I find FB extraordinarily useful for some of the same reasons some do not - they feature ads and groups I may be interested in based on those I have already shown an interest in. I would not have known of some of those things if that were not a FB feature. Generally now, more people use FB than use or post to these mail lists (how many messages have any of us received through these mail lists - and I belong to too many - of late?). On FB, you can post pictures or files to groups which is not available on these mail lists, either. I have seen the most wonderful maps, links to gen sites, and files of reports and ancestor lists, etc. - info that has provided a great help to my research. On a personal side, outside of the groups I choose to be a member of, I can keep a close relationship with friends, family, acquaintances where it is harder otherwise. If I see someone post they are are having some difficulty, I can lift them in prayer, reach out to them privately, and do a quick Like/laugh/wow/sad/angry emoji to share a quick feeling with them. Everyone has a comfort level, sometimes a fear of something new or different to them, an aversion to social platforms...to condemn those who choose differently isn't beneficial to anyone.

My Great grandfather was born on November 1849 with the family name Bourn in Georgia. When he reached Waldo, Florida, he was known as Wright Bowen. Bourn and Bowen can be spoken alike in the south, and I have census info that verities this. Any similar name changes?

Thanks Steve. Facebook has a variety of issues that they seem unable or more likely, unwilling, to deal with.

Just a concept here (as mama taught me if I cannot say something nice, don't say anything at all) - if you don't wish to join a BOWEN FB group, then don't...I am not sure why some people have to announce they won't ...it's not like we know all the members here and it's an RSVP situation.... Have a positive beautiful day! ===== Kathleen Bowen Simons Lorton, Virginia *Do not mock a pain you haven't endured * On Fri, Mar 29, 2019 at 10:08 AM Kathleen B.
