This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Fleenor and Bowman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ti.2ADI/2774.3.2 Message Board Post: There is a connection since we've found every Fleenor and Fleener and many Fleners are all traceable back to the original German immigrant family of Johannes & Anna Flinner who arrived in Philadelphia in 1754. I have your Sara Jane b. 1820 and married to William D. Bowman 25 September 1836 but got that from a written genealogy report on file at the Salem, Indiana historical society library collection. The report was written by a Mary Fleenor of Indianapolis, IN. in 1994 but contained no other info on Sara. I'll send an invitation and you can probably find more on our website from other members gedcoms.
