Hi again, I just did another search for "LEWIS family, England, cows," and found a few sites which might interest someone: This site mentions a Stan LEWIS who returned to England to visit relatives. Coincidentally, my great-grandfather went by the name, Stan LEWIS (also John LEWIS in records). He was born 1859 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England, and had a father, John LEWIS. http://lewislithuania.com/England.htm You never know what you are going to find in a Google search. This page from an on-line book mentions a family in Oklahoma: http://books.google.com/books?id=SjoVAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA385&lpg=PA385&dq=%22The+Lewis+Family,+England,+cow%22&source=bl&ots=OhZVy0l3Sc&sig=XSNuTxrZNuR95C5BSfS8FqBv3tg&hl=en&ei=r5QrStjCNIXBtwe8kpGmCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5 Here is a family-history page mention a LEWIS who first arrived in R.I.: http://www.lawrencecountyohio.com/families/k_p/John%20Lewis%20I%20&%20Children%20041007.pdf Going back to the PBS documentary mentioned in my other posting, this page gives the hint that the long-standing "LEWIS beef farm" was probably in "North England." http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/shorthorn/ I changed the "search term" a little and found this newspaper article about a "LEWIS Farm" in Concord, NH: http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060719/REPOSITORY/607190320/1265/48HOURS This site mentions a "LEWIS Farm Conservancy" in Maine. I read last month about a different farm in Maine - where the elderly owner could no longer run his farm, and he wanted to sell it, and no one would buy it. His long-time farmworker wanted to buy it but couldn't finance the purchase. http://www.lewisfarm.net/community2.asp When I first started finding out about my great-grandfather, John "Stanley" LEWIS (1859-1923) who was born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England, I found out about the famous "LEWIS Department Store" in Liverpool. I inquired and found out that family had no connection to my John LEWIS family. http://www.johnlewis.com/Shops/DSShop.aspx?Id=6 Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) Remember to check the archives of all the Lists and Boards for your surnames and place-names.
