Good morning cousins, Wanda is having email program problems and couldn't get this posted. So, I'm forwarding this on in her behalf. I hope you're all having a magical Monday! :) Colleen ----- Original Message ----- From: Wanda Roberts <wmrobert@nalu.net> To: BOWER-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 2:38 AM Subject: Saving stuff Cousins, Colleen brought up a very good point when she mentioned old letters. I am one to never toss out anything, so several years ago,just after we bought our home and ground, we were going thru this old small two room house and found some old letters. We recognized a few names but the letters were in old German. We searched for several years, writing letters, calling people and contacting German Catholic Churches. Finally about 20 years after we found the letters, we were informed that not more then 3 miles from our home was a lady that could read old German. I contacted her, she consented to look at the letters and to translate them for us. In these letters we learn the exact location of our descendants, the married names of the sisters to my husband's gr grandfather and the children of most all the sisters and brothers. These letters were over 100 years old when we found them. There were 16 in all. The best part was that paper was expensive so they wrote to someone on part of a page, the answer came back on the same page. Sometimes there would be several letters on one paper. We learn that the gr grandfather had money problems and used all his inheritance and still had problems. We learned the date of birth of one of the children, a gr uncle, the exact location of their home in America and the date of their marriage and the wife was not exceptable to the family so they waited until landing in the U.S. before getting married. So, SAVE anything, no matter how small. It is important. Wanda http://www.crosswinds.net/~indbow/index.html

The subject of Family Discovery is NOT new and yes, they are rip-offs. This is an old subject among those of us who have been doing online genealogy for a while. The storyline changes a little, but the players are all the same, and you should be made aware... Family Discovery links their pages to Rootsweb sites and archive pages, GenWeb sites, and privately owned sites ... sites on which all the information is already FREE. They are doing this without permission and are currently under investigation. Their current promotion ~~ "Only $7.99 for a limited time. If you join during this limited time offer your 2 month membership will be RE-BILLED at this special price EVERY TWO MONTHS and can be cancelled at any time." It sounds pretty reasonable, but don't believe it. Family Discovery will take your money, giving you little to nothing in return, and from their past history will not answer your messages. Gene Olson has an Anti-FamilyDiscovery.com update list from his website. He has been working to close down both sites and is still on their trail. You newbies to online genealogy would be wise to go to his site and read up on this company so you won't be ripped off. Click on the following link and you'll be taken directly to his site: <http://www.compuright.net/familydiscovery>. Gene's new email address is <gene_olson@bigfoot.com>. His toll-free number is 1-877-319-9699.

Want to find out more or comment about the subject?... head for his Anti-Family Discovery site at <http://www.compuright.net/familydiscovery/>.

) ( ) Good Morning Family! .-.,--^--. ( Come on in. . . \\|`----'| - The coffee pot's on. . . \| |// ...and we even have decaf, | |/ tea, and hot chocolate! \ / ------ Today's topics include: 1. Welcome to new cousins 2. NEVER give up! 3. A few hints, tips and tricks If you've been with the family for at least three weeks, you'll probably want to skip the following paragraph… TO OUR NEWEST COUSINS ~~ On behalf of the entire family, I'd like to extend a most hearty welcome to those cousins who came into the family fold this past week. We are very glad to have you with us and hope you'll stay and remain a part of our online family. As soon as you're comfortable with us and the list, please send in your Bower[s]/Bauer or Baur lines so we can all see how we're related to you. We do not have a fancy format for sending in records or queries to the list. Post as many as you wish! If the data has anything to do with Bower[s]/Bauer or Baur ancestors or any of the 81+ variant spellings we research that might help someone, please feel free to post it. Every scrap of information is appreciated. If you haven't visited the homesite of this list yet, you are encouraged to do so. Our home is Bower Community, located at <http://bowercommunity.com>. There, we currently have two sites: The Bower Family Homestead [a.k.a., the Homestead] is our primary homesite and the gathering place for much of our information. It waits to join us all in welcoming you into the family at <http://bowercommunity.com/homestead>. Smaller is our sister site, the Bower Cottage, houses most of our projects including an online GEDCOM fed by quite a few cousins from our lists. The Cottage is still small as far as material goes, however give us time and we'll have it filled really soon. The Cottage is at <http://bowercommunity.com/cottage>. NEVER GIVE UP! We've had cousins leave us and others are wanting to. They're so discouraged they're just setting their Bower(s)/Bau(e)r research aside and going on to other names. This isn't good ~~ not for them... not for us who are still in the family. They take information with them that we might be able to use, while they leave without their sought-after answers. It becomes a lose-lose situation. Cousins, we didn't begin coming together until August, 1998 ~~ not all that long ago, really. But in that time we've had quite a few people find each other. What would have happened if just one of those cousins had left the family? The same can happen to you. In your frustration to find these elusive ancestors you leave the family... and wouldn't you know it???... an inline cousin finds and joins us two days later??? Isn't that the way it always happens? :-| With enough work and trading of information between us, we can all break through these brick walls. If you're tired of reading email that seems to help everyone else except you, then change over to the digest. That way, you won't have a load of email you're not interested in. (Digests are all the messages in a (for us, anyway) 12-hour period grouped together into one message.) While you're waiting for this ONE inline cousin to find us, you can fill those boring hours by helping us to fill the Homestead and Cottage with data... all sorts of it. The larger our databases get, the more people will come back to us; and the more they come back, the more they'll talk about us. The more they talk, the better our chances of them talking to somebody we NEED to come into our fold. We also have our super project... the Continuum, our state and country project. We ALWAYS need help there, as well. Just don't give up and leave, though. Please, stay with us and help us grow by spreading the word about the family. The more cousins that find us, the better our chances are... A FEW HINTS, TIPS AND TRICKS During my 25 years of research, I've learned some tricks and I'd like to share some of them with all of you today. Perhaps one will help you rip a brick out of that wall! 1. Save all letters! One of the best sources of information are old, and even current, letters from family members. Most people write at least some small thing about their family and relatives in their letters. Old family friends writing to your relatives may ask about the son you've been unable to locate and give you a clue. The postmark and recipient's address will also identify where at least two people were on a given date ~ the letter writer and the person receiving it. 2. Do you know what county, province, or district your ancestor was from? Why not try sending a letter to the letters-to-the-editor column of that area's newspaper asking to hear from anyone with that particular surname? By using this suggestion you'll reach the general public and not just the limited population of genealogists. 3. Have you studied an old map close to the time your ancestor was in the area? Do you see mountains, rivers or swamps between your ancestor's town and the county seat? Yes? Then try looking in the county next door, closest to where your relative lived. Many times those topographical boundaries were enough to send your great grandfather to another county where the courthouse was just an hour away over easier terrain. 4. And you ARE watching those county lines to make sure you're even searching in the right county, right? You're not? Then you should know the little story about the great grandfather I keep asking all of you about. Isaac Bower(s) was born 1776 in New York, but where ~ I've yet to determine. He died in 1844 in Havana, Chemung County, New York. Over a period of 40 years, Isaac, although still residing in the same area, showed in TWO different towns and TWO different counties. Havana (also called Mill's Landing) was originally part of Catharine's Town which formed in 1798. The town changed its name to Havana in 1829. The Village of Havana was incorporated in 1836, the same year Chemung became a separate county from Tioga. Havana changed its name to Montour Falls in 1860, 6 years after the area broke off and became a part of Schuyler County along with districts from two other counties. So, during the 1800 - 1820 censuses, Isaac is found in Catharine's Town, Tioga County; in 1830 he's in Havana, Tioga County; and in 1840 in Havana, Chemung County. If I hadn't known about the boundary changes, I could very well have missed him completely in those last two censuses. The tip to remember here is... lines move; land doesn't... unless there's an earthquake; but we're not going to get into that! :) So, you would do well to watch your dates and those boundary changes. The records you're seeking may be in another county altogether. 5. Post messages all over the Web, especially on locality-based and surname forums. If you're doing a locality (for example, a relative from Stuttgart, Württemberg, Germany), be sure to post not only on the Germany board, but on the Württemberg one as well. If you can locate a forum for Stuttgart, be sure to post there, also. You just never know where your inline cousin will look for you. Don't forget the query forums at our own sites. They each have their own query rooms. I have more, which I'll happily share with you in another Coffee. Family... it's what we're all about. I really enjoyed this time with you. It was so nice. I hope you all have a fantastic upcoming week. I wish you a week filled with health, fun, productivity, and above all, filled with love. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/. Colleen ('``.__.'`) `..____.'

Hello again, I checked my line and none of them could be your Margaret. I can, perhaps eliminate a few people for you from those mentioned below. The William Bower death has always confounded me. The only William Bower I know of in the area who died in 1848 was William J. Bower, husband of Elizabeth Schwedfeger, father of Ann Catherine Bower Huntington, Robert Samuel bower and John Conrad Bower, and stepfather to Joseph Bower (the one who ran the general store in Kemptville. I know a lot about Joseph as he was my GG grandfather). The odd thing is that William Bower's will was dated 3 November 1848 and his age would have been 61, not 70. I checked dates and none of my Bowers had a daughter named Margaret, so they are "out" as possible parents for your Margaret. Also, my lot were in Grenville -- but it being right next to Leeds, I thought there might be a link. By the looks of the family of Thomas Bower, Margaret might (big might) have been older child of this couple and not living at home at time of census. The great problem with old Ontario records is they are often incomplete or just plain missing. It took me several years to find evidence that William and Elizabeth raised my Joseph (Elizabeth's child by an 'uncertain' father!).

Hi Bonnie, How far back doe this "Marriage Reg. of Upper Canada" extend? And, when can it be found?

Hi Bonnie -- let me do some checking. I am descended for one BOWER of Ontario family (there were others), so I might find a link, although I do not remember a Margaret. If you know where in Upper Canada the marriage happened, that is helpful, too. Also did you find out who the witnesses were? (Sometimes one or both are family).
