Hi there I am not too sure whether this message will get through to you but thought that I would give it a try. I am trying to trace my Grandfather who was an E Howell - living in South Africa. Unfortunately I don't have much information about him at all and am only able to go by his initials and that he wrote a book many, many years ago. I cannot even find the book in the library. Any assistance to the South African Howell branch would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks, Carol ==== HOWELL Mailing List ==== To unsub or for more info on the HOWELL list please see: http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/howell_l.html Note: that is HOWELL _L just like in the list name.
