Would appreciate anything.

Warren, We seem to be looking in the same area (Hamilton County, Cincinnati, Ohio) for families at the same time period. There is a good possibly we will find a common link. If I came across any David Bowers', I will let you know!

Hi "Cousins" I have a questions, and I know this mailing list has talked before about ship records or such. I am fairly new to genealogy research and I am going through some papers that my family had laying around. I found information on another line I am research (Buswell line before they married into the Bower line) that they were brought to the USA around the 1750's. What sources are there to find out the information regarding them coming to the States? Where would I look for passenger lists or such? The notes I have say they were coaxed into the ship and brought to America as indentured servants. Who they been listed on a passenger list if they were intended as an indentured servant? Any help would be appreciated! Lisa
