This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BASHAM, DOWELL, SCHMIDT, NIT(z)SCHKE, LUPOLETTI Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AST.2ACEB/434.1.1 Message Board Post: Dan Raber: I am not sure whether or not Eli is a direct ancestor. This is my Grandmother's line on my Father's side of the family and I have not yet pursued the Dowell's very vigorously. Would you be kind enough to send me a copy of whatever you find? I will be happy to compensate you for the cost involved. Thank you most sincerely. Do you know who his parents were and if he had siblings? If you are willing to share the information you have on the DOWELL line I would be most appreciative. All of my time is taken up with the BASHAM line. I started genealogy late in life and I sure would like to cover at least my paternal lines before I pass. Thank you for any assistance you can/will give. Gloria Basham-Barnes gnywmn@aol.com
