Carlene & everyone researching NY Fowlers, My line begins with an Alanzo/Alonzo Fowler. All I know about him is from my grandmother's Bible & a 1900 federal census for Aitken Co, MN. His son, Fred Fowler is my great grandfather. Fred was born in MI. The 1900 census says his parents were born in NY. I have found a land record in MI for an Alonzo/Alanzo Fowler of Livingston Co, NY that MIGHT be my gggrandfather. I haven't been able to locate a record listing the offspring of this fellow so am unable to verify his relationship. My instinct is yelling at me. I tend to believe he is either Fred's father or, maybe. grandfather. This line MIGHT be out of either VT or MA, as I have found the name Alonzo in these states in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Again, unable to locate lists of children to verify a possible relationship. According to my grandmother's Bible, my Alonzo married a woman who's surname was Small. I have found a record of an Alonzo Fowler marrying an Elizabeth Small in Erie Co, NY. Unable to find any further info on this couple, unless they are the ones in Livingston Co. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone out there, please feel free to contact me - either on list or at my addie. Thanks everyone for their time & effort. Caren
