As Donna has noted, there are many Bowers/Bowers/Bauer lines that have not been added to the Patriarch Page of the Bowers DNA Project. Please note that participation in the DNA Project is not required to have your line posted. Of course, we eventually hope to have as many lines tested as possible. Given the relative commonness of the name and its spelling variants, more participants are needed to help break down those brick walls.
