This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cowan, Cowen, Schram Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DMQ.2ACIB/1140 Message Board Post: Does anyone know anything about any Cowan or Cowen immigrants to Michigan? I've looked through lots of the postings and about all of them are in other states that don't seem anywhere near Michigan. To tell you the truth I'm not even sure what I am looking for but I'm hoping someone will at least be able to point me in a direction to explore. I'm trying to research my husbands side of the family which has been really difficult because his mom was adopted, and her real dad had been adopted. Her dad's last name now is SCHRAM but it should've been COWAN by what I hear. I just hope there are no further adoptions back so there aren't anymore name changes. If anyone knows anything about COWANs in MICHIGAN please let me know. Thank you! Jessica Napp8483@yahoo.com
