Hi cousins, Please note that I'm forwarding this from another list. Perhaps this Peter F. BAUER and Louis Conrad BOWERS belongs to one of us? I hope so.... Colleen -------- Original Message -------- Subject: {not a subscriber} Louis Bowers, 1865 New Haven Birth Record Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 16:21:31 -0800 From: Sally <ssaucer@juno.com> To: CTNEWHAV-L@rootsweb.com Posted on: New Haven County, Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/NewHaven/1388 Surname: Bowers, Bauer, Borie, Kleinfeldt, Littlefield ------------------------- Obituary clipped from a Utica, New York newspaper states that my great grandfather, Louis Herman Conrad BOWERS was born about 1865 in New Haven, Connecticut. I have been told by one of his daughters that Louis was the son of Peter F. BAUER and Mary L. KLEINFELDT (LITTLEFIELD). One of Louis's granddaughters says that the surname was originally BORI~E. (Not sure exactly which letter is supposed to have the tilde.)I still have another 4 months to wait for his death record from the NY State Health Dept. So far, I have no evidence to support anything concerning his parents or alternate surnames. The 1860 Index to New Haven didn't have Peter Bauer or Bowers. Any suggestions on finding a birth record?
