The tree below appears on the Bowers DNA Project Patriarchs page: http://azstrong.tripod.com/bowersdnaproject/web_patriarchs_3nov2012.htm The email address attached to it is no longer valid. Does this tree belong to anyone on the Bowers/Bower list perhaps? It doesn't appear that the person who posted it ever did the DNA test. That's unfortunate since it appears to be a an extensive Bowers line that many claim. There are also several people who have done the DNA test but not posted their earliest known ancestor or a short family tree. Maybe they wish to remain totally incognito! It would help those of us still researching, especially those of us who do not match anyone's DNA, if those people would submit their earliest known ancestor. Most of us know our DNA doesn't match them, but we don't know who those Bowers ancestors are!! Many of us go about looking for that elusive ancestor (our brickwalls) and is the reason we did the DNA test. But if we don't know who is represented by that DNA, then we are possibly spending a lot of time looking at records to which we have no relation. I can understand not posting a name if the individual is still alive, but if it is an ancestor deceased, I know I would appreciate a name being posted so I could eliminate that individual in my research. The Bowers DNA project is simply not a project unless we Bowers descendants make it a project. It would also be nice if those who have posted a tree would update their email addresses if they have changed and not been updated. Let's make it a resolution to update our Bowers project page for 2013! If anyone belongs to the tree below, please contact me. Thanks!

Donna, Lemuel Bowers is my ancestor and my email is on the site...it is the same. However, it went female so early that I do not know a tester.
