    3. There was several lady's wanting a copy of the book on some old 2006 post, So since I seen it for veiwing on google thought I would give the link. As always (and like u said) read at your own risk and back tract what somone has written if ur not sure.

My own BOWLES line is exactly ONE person long Levica Jane BOWLES m. James DUNCAN and despite my Bowles line having one ONE person, Farquhar lied about her unknown parents and established a false genealogy. If this fraud artist can muck up a BOWLES line one person long, just imagine what he did to yours. And just in case anyone thinks I am slamming this book because of the error with my ancestor I would direct you to the Rootsweb newsletter which did a comprehensive article on the career of this infamous fraud artist.

    3. I have heard so much about this book that I may have to waste some time reading it! I don't know if any of my Bowles are in it, but it would be interesting to see what he made up about them.
