We have a new participant (kit #36011) who descends from Hezakiah and Martha Bowles of Monroe County KY. Actually, we can trace this participant's ancestors back to Martha and her son, Elijah Bowles via census records. For those of you who have recently joined the list, we are looking for male Bowles descendents who seek to learn more about their Bowles ancestors through the use of DNA. Go to our web page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/bowlesdna.html and see what we are doing. There are links there to the different ancestral lines we are researching, as well as links to other places where you can get more information about DNA testing. If you are interested in joining our project, visit the page at http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=W26816&special=true and join us. If you have questions, feel free to contact me at this address: [mailto:hartley@iglou.com] and I will try to answer them for you. Charlie Hartley Bowles DNA Project Administrator
