> From: Gordon Adshead <gordon@adshead.com> > Following a pointer from Eastman I looked again at the US Access to Archival Databases site (AAD) http://www.archives.gov/aad>http://www.archives.gov/aad Thanks for that Gordon. Interestingly I found some Bowes in the 19th c German immigration records. For the life of me, after reading the instructions, I cannot figure out how to obtain the date and port of arrival. Does anyone have that figured out? Martha Bowes Guild No. 5048
