Hi Sharon, Thanks for the info. I remember taking a tour of Grosse Isle in Quebec a couple of years ago. Wow, there was a lot of Irish that died there on the ships during the Famine. I can't see that they are related, but I actually saw some Bowe families from Ireland who had died there. Charlie King gg grandson of William Bowe born 1825 in Dublin??
