Hello!! I have created a new Website called "Genealogy Look Up Forum". It is a website of volunteers who will do various types of look ups such as Census, Cemetery, Marriage, and many more. I am always also looking for new volunteers who would like to do some look ups for people. Please check out the website. I am sure you will be impressed with it.

A new genealogy site is presently under construction which includes the Bowers surname. Each surname page will include sub pages covering such records as Birth, Burial, Census, Land, Marriage, Military and Probate. There will also be sub pages for links to others who have a home page on the same surname, and a Family page where an entire family is presented with all known pertinent information. You will be able to submit your family information for inclusion should you choose to do so. There will also be important links to the various Gen Connect Boards for each surname as well as links to Resource Pages and Surname Mailing Lists for each surname represented. Although we are not ready for you to send us the data on your family just yet, we would like you to take a look at what is up and running so far and send us any comments, questions or suggestions you may have. Please send them to the webmaster of the site, Duane Pierce, at: [email protected], and NOT this surname list. The name of the site is "The Conexion" and the URL is: http://conexion.rootsweb.com/home.htm If you have a home page relating to the Bowers surname, you are encouraged to send us the URL and we will place a link to it on our links page. They will be listed in the order they are received. You will be notified when we are ready for you to send us your family information to be included on the other pages should you desire to do so. Thanks, Duane Pierce

Don- That is a "wonder" that your family member has the combined name of one of my BOWERS line. My line: (Albert BOWERS born 14 May, 1815 in Billerica, MASS. a "farmer" parents: Jonathan Stickney BOWERS X Hannah WEATHERBEE I don't have a death date or place on him married: Hannah Maria LYMAN born 16 July 1830 in Lowell, Middlesex, MASS). I do not know if there is any connection or not. Do you have any more information on Lyman BOWERS? Birthdate, year or place?? My Harriet LYMAN "might" be the daughter of a George LYMAN (b. 1780) married 9 April, 1807) to Susan "Sukey" WARREN (b. 27 March, 1785.) I don't have much else in my notebook and I have just gotten back into genealogy again after a few years off - so my memory is not as fresh on my lines. I also have information that my Harriet M. LYMAN BOWERS might have been born in Weston, MASS. Maybe another member of her family married yet another BOWERS in one of those areas. After Thanksgiving, I will unpack all my Salt Lake City stuff and have another look-thru and get back to you! I feel like I might have more on the LYMAN line in there. Thanks for writing. Christine Klukkert in Santa Barbara, California

Christine, While the names you gave do not ring a bell specifically, it is interesting the combination of names. I am looking for information on Lyman Bowers who was my 2nd Great Grandmother's 2nd husband. I am trying to back door some information because I seem to be at a stone wall with her. Below is what little information I have on this area of my family. As you can see, I don't have much information but I am open to all and any information. Any help you or anyone can provide is appreciated.

Hi All, I'm one of the perpetual lurkers...<grin> I hope that my cross-posting this to both the Bower & the Bowers lists is OK. If not, I apologize. I only have one BOWERS that I _know_ I'm descended from: Susanna born 26 Jun 1828 possibly in Crawford Co., OH. Married to Henry SHOOK 10 Nov 1846 in Crawford Co., OH and died in Van Wert Co., OH in 1889. Family legend has it that we are related to the other BOWERS (& possibly the other BOWER) families here in Van Wert Co., OH but no one knows how. So if anyone out there has any info on my Susanna I would love to hear from you! Karla Showalter [email protected]

I am wondering if anyone else is working on the BOWERS line from Billerica, Massachusetts (Middlesex Co.) .

Bowers (was still living in 1912 is all I know- I think in Hudson, MASS) Ellen Maria Bowers b. 27 Mar, 1848 in Billerica married: 22 June 1869 to George Byron ORDWAY in Marshalltown, Iowa d. 30 Jan, 1912 Henry Bowers Thanks for any help.
