I'm finally ready to post a query about my Howells. If you see a connection to your Howell research, please let me know. I have alot more information and will be recieving even more very soon. (It grows and grows!!) My grandmother was born Carolyn M. Howell. My Howell relatives have a Howell reunion coming up on Sunday, July 27, 1997. It is located at Merwyn Dam Park, outside of Woodland, WA, apprx. 20 miles from Portland, OR. We have relatives come from all over Oregon and Washington, sometimes California, Missouri, and other states. A number of us are into genealogy and share information (it grows and grows!!) We start early with sweet rolls and coffee and continue with lunch, lots of talk, swimming, ball games, hiking, more eating, more talking, cribbage, desserts, and of course lots of laughter!! Seems like each year it becomes more fun. You are welcome! Contact me for more information.
