Brenda, any time you see a posting from me, it's almost guaranteed to be a posting that I'm forwarding from someone else. And 99.99% of the time, the postings that I'm forwarding are from other lists and the people who posted the messages won't be a member of the Bowles list. The one you're referring to, for example, is being forwarded from the Franklin Co., PA list. This means that in order to find out more about John Bowles in Franklin Co., PA, you have to correspond directly with Sharon Frank (sharon1@cfl.rr.com) to first find out who Josette is and what she knows. If and when you do find out more about this John Bowles, please do come back and share your new information with us on the Bowles list to see if we can help you build on it.
