In order to invite you My Family requires the following four pieces of information: Given Name, Surname, Gender and email address. I don't really get the Gender requirement but it is a requirement. You could help us greatly by helping us get in touch with a living male Dowell who might be willing to take part in our Dowell Surname DNA project. We had found a handful of English Dowell and none of them matched any of us Colonials. Anyone interested in either or both endeavors may contact me by email: InfoDoc@DDowell.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
