Hi List and Colleen especially I have not been on the Bower list for quite a time. So hi to any new ones and if any of the long standing Bowers are still on hi as well. Nice to see that my ancestor (as family folk law has it) John Bower of Gloucester England is still in the garage. Here's hoping that there are some Gloucester England Bowers now on the list. Regards Phil Roderick (S.Wales U.K.)

From what the newspaper article says, yes, Smithville. Also from prior emails, I only have Bower information up to the 1900's and only on one individual. I hope to one day find ancestors from here in England. We are are only here for 3 more months, then back to the states( Navy).

Is that Smithville, OH.? Just wondering.

My Roy Bowers was listed in the 1910 census as his father being from OH and mother being from PA. How possible is it that this information could be different in the 1880 census? The census information that you, my Bowers cousins, have sent me do not mention the mother being from PA. The marriage certificate of Roy to May E. Krichbaum say that he is from Ada, OH, this was in 1898. They were married in Upper Sandusky, OH. The marriage certificate to his 2nd wife Grace Smith says that he was from Crane Twsp, Wyandot Co., OH as was Grace. They were married in 1904 in Upper Sandusky, OH. I found Roy and Grace in Taymochtee Twsp., Wyandot Co., OH in the 1910 census. I checked Taymochtee Twsp. in 1920 and did not find them. I am figuring his age from the 1910 census, I also have a newspaper article about his death in 1957. Another thing I chose to wait and mention is the fact that Roy murdered his 2nd wife, Grace in 1932 on their farm north of Smithville. I hope this information does not offend anyonenh, but I feel this is key in finding his family. I know this bit of information is true, because my grnadmother visited him in prison( Ohio State Penn.). He died in prison. Thanks for your help. Robin

Hi Robin, It is very possible. My second great grandfather was born in Canada, Massachusetts, and New York according to the various censuses, and my third great grandfather was born in RI, NY, and CT. It just depends how accurate the informant's, information was. Good luck with finding the correct state.

GedLink 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, Baur or Bowra 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, Baur or Bowra 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.

Smaller is our sister site, the Bower Cottage, which houses most of our projects including an online GEDCOM fed by cousins from our research groups. Find the Cottage is at <http://bowercommunity.com/cottage>. A CONTINUATION FROM LAST WEEK'S COFFEE re: SCAMS I covered the subject regarding scams last week and was supposed to have discussed two other subjects today (see, it's right here on my calendar!). However, I've received so many messages regarding Genealogy Developments and Gedlink that I decided I'd better cover both in depth. It seems that each enterprise has begun a publicity campaign and everyone is wondering, "is it a scam?" Here's the lowdown on each: a. GENEALOGY DEVELOPMENTS ~ IS IT FAMILYDISCOVERY.COM? "This is a new commercial enterprise!" No, it isn't. This has all the trappings of Family Discovery using a new alias; same ploy as before ~ just with a new wrapping. Avoid them like you would any of Family Discovery's other "enterprises." Tender newbies, if you didn't follow up on the links I gave you last week, then you still don't know and most definitely need to read this: 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 at least the last two years. The storyline changes a little, but the players are all the same, and you should be made aware... Family Discovery, et al links their pages to free Rootsweb <http://www.rootsweb.com> sites and archive pages, GenWeb sites, and privately owned sites by way of frames ... sites on which all the information is already free. Unless the attached site has some sort of identifier on each page, you the viewer, will not realize that you're viewing free pages and *paying* for the "privilege" of doing so! Family Discovery is doing this without permission and are currently under investigation by at least two states' attorneys. Genealogy Developments advertises, "Currently we provide easy access to over 900 million records." Of course they can say something like that! Think about all the free sites there are to link to! We are here for your convenience as a researcher. (I'd like to know who COUNTED all those records that they can say something like that, by the way!) Then they go on to say, "We are working on a very large scale SEARCH ENGINE that will search billions upon billions of genealogy records." [my capitals] And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Genealogy Developments is advertising precisely what Family Discovery, et al does ... a search engine, and it's always "planned to be up and running within the next month." <http://www.genealogydevelopments.com/records.html> Please, heed this warning. A new ad has begun to circulate under the name of <GenealogyDevelopments.com>. Visit their site <http://www.genealogydevelopments.com>, have a good look around ... do you see a contact address? No? There's a good clue for you to realize that something isn't up to what it reports itself to be. (It doesn't really make a difference because even if there was one your messages would not be answered.) Now, while I'm at it, you need to know the other aliases so you're not taken in. Following is a list of sites associated with Family Discovery domain owners in one way or another: genealogydevelopments.com familydiscovery.com genealogyfinders.com genealogyfinders.net aboent.com genseeker.com genseekers.com genealogy-express.com Most of the above sites bill themselves as "the most comprehensive easy to use collection of online records ever compiled," or something close to it. Of course it is, if they link to every free website they can find! Save your money and do the search yourself! You DO NOT need to pay for a service that is already free if you know where to look. If you need assistance, send a message to the list and state in the top line of your message that you're a newbie needing help; you'll probably get more than you can handle! :) Gene Olson has has been a chronic thorn (yeaay!) in the side of the owners of the above sites to the point of having a death threat put against him! At first he focused strictly on FamilyDiscovery.com in an attempt to get them prosecuted. He has since refocused his Anti-Family Discovery Web Site and broadened its scope. It now includes any company that uses illegal or unethical business practices. 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/badbusiness/>. Gene's email address is <gene_olson@compuright.net>. Another site has taken over where Gene Olson left off. The website, Census Diggins, which I gave you a link to last week <http://www.censusdiggins.com/familydiscovery.html> has messages online from quite a few people who have stepped forward to tell you of their dealings with Family Discovery and some of their aliases. If you haven't done it already, it would be in your best interests to check it out, if only for a quick look. Just please, remember the above list of aliases. These people will take your money, giving you little to nothing in return, and from their past history will not answer any of your messages. Hide your wallet, checkbook, credit card, and run! :) b. GEDLINK *EVERYONE* seems to be wondering about GedLink. Are they a scam, or what? Does anybody know anything? Well, I have to honestly say, I don't know if they're a scam. However, I DO know a few things which I now report here: We DO know that GedLink is in the middle of a major publicity campaign because mention of their messages is popping up all over the lists. I've been doing a little investigating on GedLink because I've received so many messages asking about the site. They ask you to register (not a problem), and you have to download a trial version of their program (free) to link up with others. The premise here is to be able to allow others to view your data at the same time you're viewing theirs. What they don't tell you until about four pages into the site, at the end of registration, is that they want you to become a member for $19/year which allows them "to develop, maintain and constantly upgrade the system and gives you access to the FULL version, allowing you to request family trees." Until you pay, you can't access the promised features. One of GedLink's designers said in an online message, "The GedLink Software can be freely used. With GedLink, you can search for names, issue requests, and send messages without becoming a paying member. We don't want to write that the user has to pay for GedLink before the registration, in order not to frighten him before he has first used the Software, and we think it's not necessary, because there is no cost involved for the basic features the user expects (search, requests...) . On the second hand, it's true that we want to offer more features to paying members, as soon as we end the test phase, but GedLink shall always stay satisfying and useful for simple users who don't want to pay." Further down the same message the Gedlink designers says, "let me try to reassure you a little about our company. "Infoduc" exists since 1994. Its main product was a French shareware for genealogy, called "Win Genealogic," until we decided 1999 to "go internet". We created "notrefamille.com", a still flourishing web based service for the family, including genealogical tools. We signed some partnerships with important French portals like "Wanadoo" (France Telecom) and "AOL France", where our genealogical tools, including GedLink, will soon be available. They can be presently seen on voila.fr (which belongs to France Telecom)." I checked and they are indeed seen on the following site: http://noms.voila.fr/s/f1/welcome/default.asp Most of the people I've read receiving posts from this project were apprehensive and backed out before they were charged. They have already learned an important lesson: do NOT download software, or register with a company, unless they tell you up front whether money's involved and if so, how much. When in doubt, do your own investigation and see what others are saying about it. This next message is from someone on one of my lists: "I use Gedlink and I recommend that you invest in Norton Internet Security. Gedlink works on you sharing a directory (in your computer) with your gedcom file in it which you would need to update everytime you made changes. I have asked Gedlink on several ocassions about security with this method of sharing and what keeps someone from hacking into other areas of your hard drive. On their FAQ page <http://www.gedlink.com/web/en/support/faq.asp>. Nothing addresses security, Gedlink has tried to assure me that their software prevents this....sure just as Microsoft prevented those from accessing Outlook and most recently Windows XP." At this point I need to reiterate ~ I am not saying Gedlink is a scam. I've found no negative messages about them after doing a major Web search ~ the nearest negativity being that in the last paragraph. People I've contacted have not heard anything negative. I'm willing to give GedLink a temporary benefit of the doubt, but I won't be giving them my money. I really don't get warm and fuzzy feelings from a company that buries their fees, not divulging them until you're already registered and they have your email address. How do you protect yourself? Apply to your Internet dealings the same good sense you try to use in everything else you do. However, on the Web you need to be more than just a little skeptical. As others have said, "Keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out!" Family ... it's what we're all about. I so enjoyed spending this time with you today. Thank you for sharing it with me. I wish each of you a week filled with health, productivity, fun, and above all, filled with love and inner peace. ) ( ) _.-~~-. (@\'--'/. Colleen ('``.__.'`) `..____.'

Dear Cousins, I just wanted to thank you all for your help. It has given my research some new perimeters, which I hope to soon explore, it would help if they had written the 1880 Census in pen and not light pencil( seems that way anyway). I hope to one day be of help to you all. Have a nice day. Sincerely, Robin

Robin, I have access to the 1880 census on CD's. If you will send me names, dates of birth, residence (state in 1880), etc., I'll be glad to check it for you. I can look it up at the local LDS family history center. Or if you live close to a FHC, see if they have the CD's there. The information was transcribed and copied to CD's by the LDS church last year. Brenda ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Hi Family, Yesterday I finished storing all the Christmas gifts. If you put a gift under the tree last month, please go to the Homestead <http://bowercommunity.com/homestead> or the Cottage's greatroom <http://bowercommunity.com/cottage> if your gift was a certificate. Jaime, your Bower-Keeler marriage certificate is also online at the Cottage. Our first Bowra certificate went online today at the Cottage! :) I'm working on an Ohio marriages file that was sent to me earlier this month. Hopefully, I'll be finished with it by early next week. (It's rather large, so no guarantees.) I still need the person who is researching James Kaufmann Bowers, son of James Bowers and Effie Gilbert, to please contact me. Cousins, if any of you submitted material to Bower Community and you still don't see it online, please let me know. With my 3 harddrive crashes back to back last month, I'm not sure I recovered everything. I have a few files that I can't identify now (file names are now something like 00001.sav) and if your data isn't displayed, these could be one of yours. Next step, revamp that poor cottage <g> ~ well, just a little anyway. I'm also thinking (just thinking, mind you) of revamping the Homestead a little, too. Does anyone have any ideas they'd like to contribute? If so, please contact me offline <ladyaudris@earthlink.net>. The Homestead fell short of our normal 20,000+ hits last year. I don't plan to have that happen again and suspect it's because our home is beginning to look a little uhm... tired? stale? We also need to add more data to keep our visitors coming back. If you have material you'd like to display, again please contact me offline. And, while I'm thinking of it ~ I've seen some sites that are linked to us still using our 2-year web addy at GeoCities! Please, cousins, if you come across a site like that, let the webmaster there know our current address and ask him to make a change. If you don't feel comfortable making that request, please let me know about the incorrect URL and the URL of the website it's on. One more thing ~ no ancestors have visited the parlor since before Christmas! Do we not have any pre-1790 ancestors that someone wants to spotlight??? If you do, please contact me. There are no restrictions to have an ancestor spotlighted in the parlor except s/he must have been alive before 1790, and no living persons show in his/her descendancy to be put online. Otherwise, pictures, certificates, anything can accompany your ancestor's bio/genealogy, whatever. Okay, I think that about covers it. Next month, after I've revamped the Cottage, we'll have a GEDCOM update. I wish you all a THRILLING Thursday! E.R. is on tonite!! yeaaayyy! :) Colleen

There must be someone out there researching this family! Jeremiah had 7 children. We know 4 of 5 sons and none of the daughters. Jeremiah Bowers was born 1768 in VA, and died Aft. 1851 in probably Todd or Logan Co., KY. He married Margaret Eason September 4, 1809 in Sumner Co., TN. Children of Jeremiah Bowers and Margaret Eason are: 1. Bartlett Deans Bowers, born 1810 in Sumner Co., TN; died Bet. 1882 - 1884 in probably Grenada Co., MS. He married Mary Mahaffey 1823 in Wilson Co., TN, daughter of Robert Mahaffey and ?. She was born 1808 in SC, probably Kershaw Co., and died Abt. 1893 in probably Grenada Co., MS. 2. John Bowers, born 1814, TN. Removed to Logan Co. KY with his father. 3. Boy Bowers, born Bet. 1815 - 1820. 4. Girl Bowers, born Bet. 1815 - 1820. 5. Girl Bowers, born Bet. 1820 - 1825. 6. James J. Bowers, born June 18, 1824 in TN; died February 19, 1876 in Nashville, Washington Co., IL. He married Jane Elizabeth Carpenter December 20, 1848 in Robertson Co., TN, daughter of James Carpenter and Sidney Travis. She was born January 8, 1831 in KY, and died January 7, 1909 in Locust Creek Community, Washington Co., IL. 7. Thomas F. Bowers, born 1829 in Sumner or possibly Wilson Co., TN. Moved to Logan Co., KY with his father. He married Barbara? Ann Thornsberry September 18, 1851 in Logan Co., KY14. She was born 1827 in IL.

Back in August, someone posted some 1840 census listings for Bowers in AR which included Johnson Bowers. I'm wondering if anyone on the list is related to Johnson. I have a Johnson Bowers mentioned in a Property Settlement in Wilson Co., TN, along with my gggg-grandfather, Jeremiah Bowers, in 1815. There were no later census records for Johnson in Wilson Co., so perhaps he went to AR. An Index to Fifth United States Census of Arkansas (1840) page 10 Name: Bowers, Johnson County: Hempstd.
