Surnames: Cowan, Cohen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DMQ.2ACIB/800.2 Message Board Post: I too am trying to find the Cowan liniage. I live in London and the grandson of Bert Cowan (of Manchester). Bert married Lena Margolis but got divorced leaving Lena with 3 children. We have no records of Bert who hasn't been in touch since 1948. Somewhere down the line our name Cowan was Cohen. Have you heard of Bert Cowan?
