HI Toni, I would be glad to correspond with your cousin. Like I said, there are those around, and also live closer to your cousin, that have so much data on the Bowlings, that I am not confident I can give her more, although, I probably have as much or more on Matilda Ann Bowling (married to James Noe Branham), than most. My husband was born in Aurora. But he was pretty little when they left there. His folks moved between there, Arkansas, and California, quite a bit. We live in Kelso, Washington. Larry's grandmother never said anything about the Bowlings, just a little about her mom, who died when she (Agnes Branham/Filbeck) was around 12. So I have from Matilda and James family on down. Also have a little on Matilda's first husband and a little on their kids. I am a collector. I have accumulated some wonderful stories, and sad ones on a few of the Bowlings. Also pictures. The people I have mentioned to you, who have helped me, have been so generous. I have put scrapbooks together for my kids, grandkids, Larrys 1 living sister, and about 5 of his cousins. Anyway, it is good to talk to you. Email when you have time. Goldie [email protected] wrote: Goldie, I talked with my first cousin, Damarus Bowling Gray. She said that she would be happy to visit with anyone researching the Bowling line. She lives at Aurora. She wanted to know where you live and your last name. Let me know if you want her address and phone number. Genna Faye's last name is Burgess now but her maiden name was Cook. I believe that her mother was a Bowling. I do know that she is very involved with the Bowling reunions. Toni ==== MOSTONE Mailing List ==== --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term'
